Take 2 pairs of plain wooden dandiyas.

Paint one pair in a shading effect using Crimson and Orange and the other pair with Light Green.

Take the orange and red pair of dandiyas. Using a toothpick make dots with white and light green colours thereby giving a bandhani effect. Enhance the dandiya by tying a golden ribbon on the top side edge using Fabric Glue. Leave it to dry.

Take the green pair of dandiyas. Divide the dandiya by sticking a golden ribbon using Fabric Glue. Divide the dandiya in such a way that one part is small and the other is big. Stick the foil mirrors randomly on the larger side with Fabric Glue.

Replicate the kutchi bharat embroidery around the foil mirror with 3D – Yellow. Leave it to dry. Also replicate the border design from the kutchi bharat embroidery using 3D – Orange. Refer to the image.
