Simple Mehndi Designs: A Beginner's Guide

Henna isn’t just decoration; it’s a cultural expression of joy and celebration. If you’re looking to embrace this tradition, starting with simple mehndi designs is the perfect approach.

Finding Your Style

Before you begin, it's helpful to get familiar with common styles. You’ll see floral motifs, paisleys (often called buta), geometric patterns, and even minimalist dots – all can create beautiful looks on the back of your hand.

Consider how comfortable you are with detail; some designs involve very delicate lines.

Easy Back Hand Designs to Try

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Floral Border

  A simple row of flowers along the edge of your hand is elegant and easy to replicate.

• Paisley Accent

  A single, beautifully drawn paisley can be a focal point – try it on its own or surrounded by smaller dots.

• Geometric Triangle

  A triangular pattern using dots and lines is modern and straightforward.

• Minimalist Dots & Swirls

  This is the ultimate in simplicity! Create patterns with just dots and flowing swirls – perfect for beginners.
