With a growing emphasis on sustainability, making rakhis from upcycled materials is not only eco-friendly but also infuses a personal touch into the festival. Here’s how you can craft beautiful rakhis using materials you might usually discard.

Materials Needed: Old t-shirts, buttons, scissors, and thread.

Method:

  • Cut the t-shirt into thin strips. Stretch them a bit to turn them into round strings.
  • Choose a button with a unique design or colour.
  • Loop the fabric strip through the buttonhole, creating a central decorative piece.
  • Secure it by tying knots on either side of the button.
  • Trim to the desired length, and your upcycled fabric rakhi is ready!

Method:

  • Cut a thin strip from your old jeans, making sure it’s long enough to tie around a wrist.
  • From the same pair, cut out a small circular or heart-shaped piece of denim.
  • Decorate this piece using beads, arranging them in a pattern.
  • Glue this decorative denim piece to the strip, and voila! Your denim rakhi is done.
