Easy Mehndi Patterns for Beginners

Understanding the Back Hand Canvas

The back of your hand offers a unique canvas for Mehndi artists. Its smaller surface area lends itself well to simpler, more elegant designs. Symmetry is often employed here, creating balance and visual appeal.

Simple Design Ideas

* Floral Border: A classic choice! Use simple dots, teardrops, or leaf shapes to create a border around the edge of your hand.

* Paisley Accents: Paisley motifs are inherently elegant. Scatter a few across the back of your hand for a sophisticated look.

* Geometric Patterns: Simple lines and geometric shapes (triangles, squares) can form striking patterns. A series of small diamonds or triangles is surprisingly effective.

* Dot Mandala: Mandalas created with dots are easier than you think! Start in the center and work your way outwards.

Tips for Beginners

Practice on paper first to get a feel for the design.

Use a cone tip applicator for better control.

Don’t be afraid to simplify – less is often more!
