Cut the base material into a small round or square shape
Choose the main thread or band for the rakhi
Attach the decorative centerpiece to the base using glue or stitching
Add beads, stones, or sequins around the centerpiece
Secure the design firmly so nothing comes loose
Fix the rakhi motif to the thread or band
Tie knots at both ends to strengthen the attachment
