Materials Needed

Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, Light Green 12, Prussian Blue 19, White 27, Fevicryl Pastel Acrylic Colours Kit, Fevicryl Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Gold 352, Fine Art Brushes, 2” X 2” MDF Squares, Pencil, Yellow Pencil, Wool, Golden Beads, Colour Palette, Water Container

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Take 2” x 2” MDF squares to make the Rakhi's for Raksha Bandhan.
Clean the MDF base to remove any dust.
Pierce holes on opposite sides to attach the thread.

Step 2

Apply a base coat of Acrylic Colour White 27 on MDF squares and allow it to dry completely.
Paint the Pastel Acrylic Colours Pink and Aqua on the base and let it dry.
Lightly sketch a Gond art design on the painted MDF base with a pencil. Gond art often features intricate motifs of flora and fauna.

Step 3

Using Fine Art Brushes, fill in your sketched design with vibrant Acrylic Colours Burnt Sienna 01, Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, Light Green 12, Prussian Blue 19, White 27, Pastel Acrylic Colours, and Pearl Metallic Gold 352.
Begin with larger areas, then move to finer details. Allow each section to dry before proceeding to avoid smudging.

Step 4

Cut a piece of woolen thread to the desired length for tying the Rakhi.
String golden beads onto the woolen thread as desired and secure it with a knot.
Attach the woolen thread with the beads to the MDF base.

Step 5

Check that all elements are securely attached and that the design is complete.
Optionally, you can add additional embellishments like small sequins or mirrors to the front of the Rakhi for extra sparkle.
Your Rakhi for Raksha Bandhan is ready.
