Many tools are available for applying henna to your skin. You could use a small plastic bottle or tube with a tip, such as a puffy paint bottle. There is also a quick and easy way to make your own henna applicator that is flexible, easy to control and requires minimal materials.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1 large piece of Mylar, plastic or cellophane
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  1. Step 1

    Cut a triangle from Mylar gift wrap, cellophane or plastic from a plastic baggy. The triangle does not have to be a certain size, so begin with one that has 12-inch edges.

  2. Step 2

    Grab one of the short edges of the triangle. Roll the edge over to make a narrow cone shape.

  3. Step 3

    Continue to roll the paper until reaching the other edge of the triangle.

  4. Step 4

    Check that the tip of the cone is tight. Also check that the cone is a good size. A good size cone will fit well in your hand and allow you to maintain good control while you are applying the henna.

  5. Step 5

    Unroll the cone and re-roll if it is necessary. When you are satisfied with the shape, apply a piece of tape to the outside edge to keep it in place.

  6. Step 6

    Clip the end of the cone with a very small pair of scissors to allow henna to come out of the tip. Keep the opening extremely small for the best detail.

  7. Step 7

    Add henna. Then roll the edge of the cone down to remove air and keep the flow of henna even. As the tube empties, continue to squeeze the end like a tube of toothpaste.
