8 Easy Haldi-Kumkum Wrapping Ideas - DIY Festive Season

Time to let go of the boring Haldi-Kumkum pouches and replace them with these trendy ones this festive season!

( *Haldi - turmeric and Kumkum - A red powder, made from saffron or turmeric, used ceremonially by Hindus to make various markings on the body, especially the forehead)

It is an Indian tradition to share Haldi-Kumkum with each other during a religious festival or after a Pooja (prayer) along with sweets or fruits. To make this tradition a bit more attractive, here are a few ideas which you can use to wrap up the Haldi-Kumkum pouches.

1. Flower wrap (1)

Here I have used both the haldi and the kumkum pouches to make a flower. Then used some green crepe paper to make the leaves.

2. Flower wrap (2)

In this arrangement, I have used crepe paper as petals and used the haldi and kumkum pouches separately to make two flowers. 

3. Bouquet 

This style has the two flowers joined together and bound by some green crepe paper to form a bouquet. 

4. Thali (Plate)

This piece is really easy to make and very attractive too. It requires a small piece of cardboard, some craft thread and few sequins.

5. Handbag

Bind the two square pouches together and use some left over lace and craft thread. Stick some sequins to complete the look. 

6. Basket

Use cardboard or some small cap and stick craft thread around it. Stick some lace on top and put the pouches in.

7. Radha Krishna

This one is my favourite. Stick the pouches on a piece of cardboard. Use some left over piece of lace and sequins on the fan made out of colourful craft paper. Stick it as the dress. 

8. Rose

Use some glitter foam sheet and make a paper rose. Put the Haldi-Kumkum pouches in the center.
