Graceful Indonesian Bell Garland Mehndi Design for Arm

A striking indonesian mehndi design tailored for the arm, featuring butterfly wing and bracelet cuff. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a wedding.

Henna on the forearm stains lighter than on the palm because the skin is thinner. Arm designs are easier to apply on someone else than on yourself, especially past the wrist. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

In Indonesia, henna is commonly called pacar or inai. Malam Bainai is a pre-wedding henna night in the Minangkabau tradition of West Sumatra.

Application tips: For the traditional look, cover the fingertips and nails with a thick, even layer of paste. Keep modern lace-style designs fine and light, with thin lines and small motifs.
