Elaborate Modern Sunburst Mehndi Design for Foot

A striking modern mehndi design tailored for the foot, featuring net pattern and circular medallion. Rated as Easy, this pattern is perfect for Eid.

The soles take henna as well as the palms do, while the top of the foot stains lighter. Stay seated and avoid walking until the paste has dried completely. This is a beginner-friendly pattern: practise the main shapes on paper first, then copy them onto skin with a fine-tipped cone.

Some modern designs borrow from tattoo art, with single motifs placed on the wrist, fingers or forearm. White henna and glitter are cosmetic body paints, not real henna, and they do not stain the skin.

Application tips: The stain starts orange and darkens to reddish brown over 24 to 48 hours as it oxidises. Wash and dry the skin before application and skip lotion or oil, which block the dye.
