Arabic mehndi is bold and quick: large roses and leaves in a trail, with open skin left between the shapes. People wear it for Eid, a sangeet, or any evening when full bridal coverage is too much. The designs are a diagonal trail, a trail climbing one finger, and two parallel trails meeting at the wrist. Type a subject of your own, such as a peacock, and the trail is drawn around it as a request.

  • Eid mehndi on both hands
  • a sangeet or party design
  • a bold first design for a friend's hand
  • a reference for a henna artist's trail work

Frequently asked questions

What does this pack show?
Nine hand outlines with a bold floral trail: a diagonal trail from the little finger, a trail on one finger, and a double trail meeting at the wrist.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Bold black has thick outlines and a few solid shapes, fine detail packs the petals with netting, and henna brown shows the reddish stroke of dried henna.
Can I change the subject?
Yes. Type a subject of your own and the trail is drawn around it, as a request rather than a fixed result.
Are these drawn on real skin?
No. They are drawings on white paper of each design laid over a hand outline.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
