For those who do not believe in picking up just anything from the market, create these at home

Who doesn’t love a cuddly bearIJ You can help your daughter create an animal rakhi using some stickers and felt paper. Cut out a circle (A) from felt paper and stick a bear sticker (or the kids’ favourite animal, or even Chota Bheem!) on it. Cut out a larger felt circle (B) in a different colour and place this below A. Slide in a coloured ribbon between A and B and stick it on, using some double-sided adhesive. Done! If you also happen to have a quilling set at home, just add in some details such as ears and noses. Your hand-made rakhi for kids will be a showstopper!
Bright and buttony:
Nothing says “love you, best friend” as beautifully as a colourful button band done by you. All you need to do is cut out a small star or circle from foam paper and glue it on to the centre of a coloured ribbon. Onto this, sew on a bright button and you’re done. If you have been thinking about how to make a band with craft paper, this is one of the easiest ideas to start off with.
Shine like the sequins:
If you have some spare sequins and felt paper, this is one of the best ideas for making rakhi at home. Tell your child to cut out a felt shape she likes. For instance, she can cut out a large red circle and outline a flower on it using a marker. Then, fill up the flower with sequins. Just dip them in glue, one at a time, to make sure it is neat. Glue or sew a ribbon underneath the shape and your rakhi is ready.
Say it with beads:
Are you looking for rakhi craft for pre-schoolIJ This one is so simple that you’ll be surprised by the really pretty end result! Get some colourful strands of silk or wool – you’re sure to find some in your wardrobe or sewing machine. Ask your little one to twist several of them together and then slide some golden beads in between. You have a stunner of a handmade rakhi ready in minutes.
