Crafts | First henna boxes


One of the first henna boxes I made were these trinket boxes for my sister and sister-in-law on 'Eid. They make beautiful gifts not just for 'Eid, but I can see them as being perfect gift boxes for occasions like weddings. I think I need someone to get married soon so I can get my henna cone out!











They turned out quite well, I was really pleased with them as were their recipients! :)

Welcome | Hafsah's Henna Blog


Welcome to my henna blog and thank you for visiting! My name is Hafsah (you already guessed that, right??) and I'm a self-trained henna artist. I've been practising henna on family and friends since my early teens, but as much I love decorating the body with henna, my interest in creating more permanent henna art has recently peaked to dizzying heights. Henna art can be transferred to almost anything, from trinket boxes, photo frames, framed mirrors, to candles, vases, canvases, and even to tote bags, cushions and jewellery - the possibilities are endless once you've mastered the henna cone!

The purpose of my blog is to record my journey of setting up a henna crafts business, something I've been hoping to do for a few years now. I hope that you will join me on my adventures as I attempt to conquer the beautiful world of henna art, and I hope that you will enjoy it!

Let's do this!!
