DIY Men's Dupattas for Mehndi

Okay, so I don’t know if they have a specific name, so I’m calling them dupattas - the one that men usually wear on the mehndi around their necks.

My question is, is it possible to make them yourself? I mean essentially, they are just scrunched fabric, right? I’ve seen some of them before that just looked like a strip of fabric flung on their shoulders, and I thought that didn’t look very nice. But I’m thinking if we pick out some nice fabric from a local fabric store and scrunch them up, it can work.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, they are basically duputtas. They don't have to be scrunched though so you can DIY them.

I thought they were called " chunriis" for males xD

I really have no idea...
For my sisters wedding (inshallah 2013) and brothers wedding a few weeks ago ....we ordered them and colored them in contrast/combo of the theme...

The guys generally wear crushed dupattas or chunris on mehndi. One reason I can think of why you might not like the ones that you have seen before is that the ready-made stuff generally doesn't use very good quality fabric. Afterall its for only a few hours. Doing it at home might be very tiring process. You can get multiple white colored dupattas and have the dyers crush that or make them into chunris etc.

I don't like the idea of guys wearing such dupattas on mehndi and all , they simply don't need to compete with girls.
