Henna Patterns

Henna Patterns on Cake Central

These are a few very simple henna patterns. Just very basic. Henna itself is much more intricate, but that becomes too tedious to ice.

Don't use too many patterns at once, it looks too busy. Select one or two and repeat to create your design.

When henna paste dries on the hand it is a deep dark brown. When it is washed off, the skin gets dyed to a deep orange red, sometimes almost black.

Arabic henna patterns are darker and more bold than these. These are typical of Indian Henna.

Thanks - I'd love to do a Henna cake, if nothing else I will use these with one of those kits at AC Moore to tattoo myself LOL!

Sorry jdhelbling, just noticed your question. I always freehand directly onto my cakes, but lots of people use the pin-prick/similar methods. Take a look at this thread. (...) Seems like a lot of great info.
