Thread Flower DIY Rakhi

Every year, we celebrate Raksha Bandhan to honor the bond between siblings and family. This festival highlights the values of the care, gratitude, and respect that siblings and family share. 

On this day, we tie a ornamental thread, called a rakhi to our family members, specifically our sibling's wrists. You can buy rakhis but making your own rakhis is a more meaningful and creative way to express your gratitude for your siblings and other family. 

This is also a fun activity to do as a family! In this post, we are sharing a simple way to make an awesome handmade thread flower rakhi! 

How to make DIY flower rakhis at home?

Materials: 

Thread (any color) 

Beads 

Hot Glue Gun (normal glue might also work) 

Decorative Lace (optional) 

Instructions 

 1) Take the thread and cut out eighteen 20 cm strands of the thread 

 2) Separate the strands into three groups with six strands each and tie them together from the top with another piece of thread 

 3) Take the three groups of thread and braid them together. For this step, it helps to tape the strands on to the edge of a table while braiding 

 4) After braiding the thread, roll it up tightly to create the flower part of the rakhi. Then, put hot glue on the bottom of the flower and on the end of the braided thread to secure the flower. Glue a bead in the middle and you have finished the flower for you rakhi! 

5) After making the flower, we put some decorative leaf lace on the ends to show the leaves on the flower. You can also cut leaves out of paper to put on the thread flower but it is an optional step 

6) Now it is time for the base! Cut out two more strands of thread (about 25 cm). This will be the actual string of the rakhi! Glue the flower in the middle of the threads (at about 12.5 cm) and slide in some more beads. 

And, voila, you have finished your rakhi!

Yarn Handmade Rakhi

Raksha Bandhan, also known as Rakhi, is a Hindu festival that falls on the full moon day of the month of Shravana, usually in August. The word raksha means protection, and bandhan means bond.

Raksha Bandhan is a festival that honors the bond between siblings, which is considered one of the most sacred and enduring relationships in Hindu culture. The festival also reflects the values of respect, care, and gratitude that siblings share. Raksha Bandhan is a time to express love, affection, and appreciation for one's siblings, as well as to pray for their happiness and prosperity.

The main ritual of Raksha Bandhan involves the sister tying a sacred thread, called a rakhi, around the wrist of her brother.

While you can buy rakhi from the market, making your own rakhi can be a more meaningful and creative way to express your feelings. It can also be a fun and easy activity to do with your kids. In this blog post, we are sharing an easy handmade rakhi craft for kids using simple materials that you can find at home or in a craft store.

HOW TO MAKE YARN POM-POM RAKHIS AT HOME?

1. Hold the yarn between your fingers and wrap on your finger lightly 10 to 15 rounds.

2. Then take it out from your fingers and tie it from the centre.

3. Cut the yarn loops from both sides and make it flat from holding it from centre and press it. Cut extra yarn to make a nice and even circle.

4. Decorate the pom-pom as you like. We used a big button in the centre and a small sticky bead on top of the button.

5. Make single or multi-color braided string and tie both ends. Stick the flat yarn pom pom top on it.

And your homemade rakhi is ready to tie.

Making handmade rakhi craft for kids is a fun and easy way to celebrate Raksha Bandhan. It can also be a great way to express your love and creativity. You can make rakhi with any materials you have at home or in a craft store. You can also customize them according to your preferences and style.

We hope you enjoy making and wearing your handmade rakhi. Happy Raksha Bandhan!

Handmade Rakhi For Raksha Bandhan

Raksha Bandhan, also abbreviated to Rakhi, is the Indian festival that celebrates the special relationship between a brother and sister. On this day, sisters tie a band on the wrist of their brothers as a mark of respect for the love and protection they give them while brothers give their sisters gifts as a mark of the love and affection they receive from them.

This festival is celebrated not just between siblings related by blood but also cousins and two unrelated persons that wish to treat each other as brothers - sisters. When the persons are together, they usually get-together in the morning when the sister physically ties the rakhi on the brother's wrist and applies vermilion on the brother's forehead.

The brother gives his sister a present, and then both feed each other some yummy sweets. When they are remote, sisters send Rakhis and vermilion via mail while brothers buy their sisters a gift of their choice. It's a nice festival that re-inforces the bond between a brother and sister every year.

To celebrate Raksha Bandhan this year, we wanted to share some really clever and beautiful rakhi ideas by Malini who is an art teacher based out of San Francisco Bay Area. What's cool is that you make these rakhis with things you already have at home.
