Rakhis-DIY



Rakhis  are flooding the market but some sisters like to try their hand at making rakhis themselves.. Long ago we made rakhis with resham or silk threads and decorated them with beads.But now it is getting difficult to buy craft items as small shops stocking such inexpensive things keep disappearing making way for glittery Malls and shopping complexes.
However one can get these silver ribbon flowers or make them with silver/gold 'gota' ribbons available in shops keeping stitching materials. Be creative and use silk ribbons as rakhi threads and make neat rakhis this year!
DIY
We can make decorative flowers by using beads, rhine stones, pearls etc
1 Use a round stuff piece of paper for the rakhi base
2 Fevicol can be used to stick the flowers
3 Use a long piece of silk/satin ribbon if you cannot get the proper rakhi thread and stick the prepared decorative piece.

Handmade Rakhis





Raksha Bandan is round the corner and creative sisters can make Rakhis for their beloved brothers giving a personal touch to this lovely festival. This festival is celebrated in India to strengthen the bonds of love between brothers and sisters.
The fragile thread symbolises the promise made by the brother to take care and help his sister , in return the sister prays for his long life and health.Gifts are exchanged, delicacies prepared and there is a lot of joy and happiness .
We can say that its like celebrating Brother-Sister Day !
These are Quilled Rakhis and you can visit my blog on quilling for instructions and tutorials.
There are plenty of ideas for handmade Rakhis here .
