Simple Handmade Rakhis

• Strands of silk threads
• A pair of scissors
• Cotton threads to tie knots
• Beads, stars, golden threads and sponge to adorn
• Paste
• A toothbrush with hard bristles.
• Hard paper

• Take multicolored silk thread strands to give your Rakhi vibrant appearance.
• Now cut the silk threads in sizes which seem to fit wrists of all and sundry.
• Tie a tight knot with a cotton thread on the silken thread bunch. Or you can also use the hard paper to make the central portion of rakhi by making some holes in the center of the round cut hard paper.
• To make the silk threads more fluffy and soft, rub them hard using tooth brush.
• Now decorate the half complete rakhis with beads or stars. Stick them with glue. You can use sponge of an appropriate color, cut it into a star shape and decorate it with beads or stars.
