Make A Rakhi For Your Brother With MDF Bases at home

It's the season of love and happiness, and this time around, it's going to be more special with your brother or sister celebrating Raksha Bandhan.

As a sister, you want to make your brother feel special this time by tying a unique rakhi on his hand. But if you're running short of time or if you don't have enough creative skills to make one, then we have a solution for it. You can always get the DIY MDF rakhi bases and make it yourself at home with minimal materials in hand. And here we will discuss each step that can help you make the perfect MDF rakhi base for your brother without any hassle at all!

So you want to make a DIY Rakhi for your brother?

It's easy. Just follow these  steps:

1. Get yourself some MDF boards from the store or online. They're cheap and easy to find, and they'll give the perfect base for your craftwork.

2. Clean the board well, then paint it with acrylic black paint using a brush or sponge. Don't use multiple colors—pick one that goes with your brother's personality!

3. Let the board dry for a few hours, then spray it with a coat of varnish to keep it looking glossy and professional!

4. Cut out a mustache shape from your cardboard sheet. Your base should be able to fit inside the mustache shape perfectly, with no ends coming out from any side. Then apply glue to the shape and sprinkle gold glitter on it. Let dry completely before continuing.

5.  Write "Bhai" or "Brother" in bold letters or calligraphy and cut them out too—or just outline them if you're not comfortable cutting them perfectly.

6. Finally, glue the mustache and name cutouts onto your black MDF base with glue. Stick them as though they're standing up at an angle so that they look like they're coming out of your brother's mouth!

7. You may also use the Mod Podge dimensional glaze on the prepared DIY MDF rakhi base once it has dried completely. This glaze will give the base depth and make it appear like a polished market product. It's the final phase in the process. If you don't want to, you may certainly skip it.

8. Allow time for it to dry. Finally, connect the woolen thread through the side holes, and your DIY MDF Rakhi is complete.

To sum it up:

There are many methods to make a one-of-a-kind DIY rakhi, but the ideal approach is to tie the craft to your brother's heart. You may use a memorable image of you and your brother instead of the white cardboard craft and follow the previous methods to give it a glossy and polished appearance. The MDF rakhi base is available today at Hobby India, an online DIY, and craft store.
