Raksha Bandhan 2020: here’s how to make rakhis at home
Rakhis can be easily prepared at home with items lying around. The basic items you need are colorful threads or wool, satin ribbons, decorative items such as beads, sequins, pom poms, colored paper,
glue and a pair of scissors.
Rakhi with a photo: Select a nice photo of both of you. Glue it on a piece of heavy paper or cardboard and cut it into a square or round shape. Decorate with beads whatever you want and stick it firmly with glue on a ribbon. And there you have a rakhi to remember!
Cartoon rakhis: Choose your brother’s favorite cartoon character and follow the above procedure. You can make a very funny one with pieces of wool as mustaches for Top Cat or Lion King.
Floral rakhis: Now what you learned in your arts and crafts class at school will come in handy. Make small flowers with colorful papers and secure them on a satin ribbon with a needle and thread. Leave enough ribbon on each side so you can tie it comfortably.
Rakhis with beads: Take a few strands of colored wool and make a braid, interlacing them. Glue colored beads and glue on the braid. You can make the woolen braid as thick or as thin as you want.
Search the Internet, you will find many rakhi make ideas.
