Delicate Traditional Anklet Border Mehndi Design for Full Hand

A beautiful traditional mehndi design providing full hand coverage, featuring feather stroke and swirl. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for Diwali.

Full-hand designs run from the fingertips to the wrist, so allow extra time for application. Work from the wrist towards the fingers, or the other way round, so you never rest on wet paste. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

Henna comes from the plant Lawsonia inermis, and its leaves have been used to dye skin, hair and nails for thousands of years. The practice is shared across South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Application tips: Traditional designs are dense, so work in sections and keep the lines close. Seal the dried paste with lemon and sugar to keep it on the skin longer.
