Rakhi is a traditional Indian festival that celebrates the bond between a brother and a sister, but it can be celebrated by friends as well! It is based on the premise of love and protection. And what better way to celebrate this unique festival than with unique handmade one or a kind rakhis! In this workshop, the participants will make a bunch of rakhis (5-6) with different techniques ranging from modern to traditional. These rakhis can then be gifted to your close friends and family! The skills learnt in this workshop can be easily translated into making hair accessories, friendship bracelets and other things.
We will be using techniques of Macrame, bead knotting, making felt and sari fabric flowers for for making unique one of a kind Rakhis! Almost all the supplies will be reused stuff-small pieces of ribbon, felt , paper, vintage sari etc.
