SaveMehndi (also written mehendi or mehandi) is the art of decorating hands and feet with henna paste. Today people search for everything from simple mehndi designs they can do at home, to bold Arabic mehndi, to detailed bridal dulhan mehndi that takes hours.
On this site designs are grouped by hand (front, back, full hand, fingers, feet), by style and by occasion such as Karwa Chauth and baby shower. Every design page lists the difficulty, the time it takes and the artist.
Start with a round mandala in the palm or a diagonal vine on the back of the hand – both use only dots, petals and curves.
Leave the paste on for 6–8 hours, seal it with lemon and sugar, keep your hands warm and avoid water for 12 hours after removing it.
Yes – mehndi, mehendi and mehandi are different spellings of the same Hindi/Urdu word for henna body art.
You can save any design to your phone or Pinterest for personal practice. Please keep the artist credit if you share it.
