Starfish Rakhi

What You Need:

So first, cut a star-shaped piece from the foam sheet.

Also, glue a golden bead or sequin to complete this bow.

For making its string, cut a small circle- shaped piece of a paper, and paste it at the center of the ribbon.

Car Rakhi

What you need:

First, take a green color foam sheet (or color of your choice) and cut it into a semi-circle shaped piece, then take one popsicle stick and apply some fabric glue on it, paste this stick on the green semi-circled piece.

Similarly, cut one more small semi-circle from a red foam sheet and cut it into two equal pieces and paste them on the green piece to give a ‘car’s window look’.

After pasting them, cut two small circles from a black foam sheet to make its wheels, and paste them onto the popsicle stick.

Jute and Flower Rakhi

What do you need:

Crayon Rakhi

What do you need:

• Foam Sheet
• White paper
• Basic Crayons
• Fabric Glue
• Cotton
• 3D Outliner (or any sparkle glue)
• Ribbon

This colorful rakhi is my favorite, and for designing it you need to cut a foam sheet piece of the size of 5×6 cm.

Then draw five lines with fabric glue and paste your favorite colors from the crayons packet.

Now, this is important… that you need to paste each crayon higher than an earlier crayon, like the below image.

I tried to give a VIBGYOR effect to my rakhi and you can choose your style.

Now, paste a ribbon at the backside of the foam sheet and cover it with a small square piece of a plain paper, as we did in our above rakhi tutorials.

After that, cut a cloud- shaped piece from a white paper and paste it on the top of the crayons.

To give a cloud and rain effect, you need to stick some simple cotton on this cloud piece and decorate it with 3D outliner or any sparkle glue.

Let it dry for 3-4 hours, and your rainbow and clouds are set to flaunt.
