With a syringe in your hand, you're ready to make a beautiful Henna creation. But what pattern should you choose? And why pick an Arabic Henna design? You're guaranteed to have something with a touch of the East to it!

And for those of you who are scared of injections, you've got nothing to worry about: the syringe doesn't have a needle. All you'll feel is a slight tickle.

Supplies

Tools

EITHER Special henna syringe
OR Henna cone
OR Pre-filled Henna cone

Materials

Home-made henna paste
Lemon syrup
Cotton buds
Hydrating cream
Essential oil

Directions

Prepare before applying the Arabic henna design pattern

Make the henna paste.
Hydrate your hand before applying the henna paste with hydrating cream.

Draw out the Arabic henna design pattern

Draw the first arabesque on the center of the hand.

Draw a second line right next to the first to double the thickness of the arabesque.

Draw some little lines between the two main lines.

Draw a second arabesque coming from the curve of the first arabesque. Follow the same method as your first arabesque to make it.

Draw out a third arabesque under the first.

Draw two more arabesques under the proceeding ones.

Draw smaller arabesques coming out from the main one.

Finishing touches to the Arabic henna design

Draw small comma-shapes along the coils of henna.

Let the henna dry.
Using cotton buds, rub lemon syrup on your dry henna tattoo to prevent the paste from pealing off. Thus the henna will darken better.
Leave it to set for an hour. The longer it is left for, the darker the henna tattoo will become.
