Kangna to the bride

Salaam…

i need your help!

my best frind is getting married. and according to the mehndi rasam i have to give her a kangna :smiley: .
but the problem is that i live in little Denmark and there is no store selling stuff like that.:naraz:

So know i think i have to make it by my self.:teary1:
but i need some inspiration. i have searched on the net but unfortunately i didn’t find anything i could use.:bummer:

SO plz plz plz put some pictures in here so i can make the kangna…

Re: Kangna to the bride

i agree with you u cant any thing in dk:naraz:

Re: Kangna to the bride

what is kangna?

Re: Kangna to the bride

You mean a kangan made of flowers???

Kangan as I know it is a wide bracelet.
or it could be thin, I don't know for sure.

Re: Kangna to the bride

r u talking about a kangan made out of flowers??
if so then take a large braclet-- anything will do even something plastic for kids
then buy small flowers u like in the color u want (small roses, jasmines etc) cut off the flower heads and string them onto a string, then wrap the string around the bracelet... viola! flower kangan is ready
play around w/ the flowers (add more or less) until u get the look u are looking for
another option is to buy some wire, sturdy enough to be a bracelet but not too thick and then just string the flowers onto it directly

Re: Kangna to the bride

if it is the flower one..mine was really nice.

get the red/maroon silk rope from the fabric store...the kind that's for curtains or pillow cases...but not TOO thick...

buy a bunch of small white silk flowers and sew each onto the rope...thick on the bracelet part but make sure you have several long strings off just flowers hanging off..it looks really pretty.

Re: Kangna to the bride

try that ugly shop at nørrebrogade (the 1 decorated as xmas tree ) khans something ...u ll get some from there IF the shop is still there ,been ages havnt been to that area .

Re: Kangna to the bride

I know about this bangle thingie that the bride wears on the mehndi but am totally forgetting the name :mad: if anyone can find pictures of sam_sam’s mehndi she is wearing this decorative sort of bangle with things hanging off of it, God only if I could remember then name, but that is a specific sort of bangle worn on mehndi’s only usually gifted by best friends.

Re: Kangna to the bride

^ gajjre, maybe?

Re: Kangna to the bride

no something else, my mind is blank :bummer:

Re: Kangna to the bride

^by things dangling off of it do u mean jhumkas??

Re: Kangna to the bride

Isn't it called "gaana" (song wala gana nahi) or is that something else???

Re: Kangna to the bride

thanks for your help...

now i have a little idea - but i was also looking for som pictures.. that would help me alot...

and by the way - that shop in nørrebro - i'll take a look, but i'm afraid of it would be "the old fashion look"...

but i'll look - thanks anyways

Re: Kangna to the bride

Re: Kangna to the bride

Re: Kangna to the bride
