Have you done fabric accessorizing in school? Remember those art & craft classes where you were made to create small pretty things with paper, thread and fabric! This puja let nostalgia wrap your heart. Experiment with accessories made of acrylic yarns. We tell you how:

  • Cut small but equal pieces of acrylic yarns and make a bunch. Create a knot on the strands with another piece of yarn. Hurrah! It’s done.
  • Now for the bindi, wear the big, round bindi on your beautiful forehead preferably in red; bong style.
  • Eyes should be highlighted with black kohl.
  • Go for soft colours for the lips.

The fabric accessories can be worn as maang-tikas or attached to the gajras for some spunk. Be creative!
