When Raksha Bandhan knocks on the season, we often get stuck with routine hustles where we sometimes miss the true significance of this festival. To make the do-it-yourself activities we only tend of getting the casual thread with knotted beads as Rakhi to get the festive rituals done.

Besides gifting and feasting, Raksha Bandhan is also the festival of love, care, and promises. In this festival, the most significant part is expressing your emotions and faith to your dear ones. 

If you are looking to make personal connective DIY Rakhi ideas for brothers, then these guides will indeed work for you. Here, we will discuss the three easy-to-make DIY Rakhi with the help of the MDF Rakhi base. You can easily get the MDF rakhi base from any craft store.

Three significant DIY Rakhi that you can easily make at your home. 

1. Make the animated rakhi for your little brothers

Get the MDF round shape Rakhi base and paint the surface with black acrylic colour. Now, take the yellow foam sheet, brown paper, and black marker pen. Then, craft the lion shape from these DIY elements and stick them on the MDF wooden base.

Once the sticking glue dries out, fix the woolen thread on both ends of the DIY Rakhi round base. Now, start adding the white pearls equally on both sides as per your choice. Animated Lion Rakhi is perfect for your little brothers who love to be the king of your space.

2. Make the Doraemon or Mickey mouse Rakhi with the help of cartoon MDF Rakhi cut outs

If your brother loves to have a cartoon character and you can pick the wise Doraemon or smart Mickey mouse MDF cut out for Rakhi and paint the base with acrylic colours as per the pre-marked surface. Once you paint the colour as per the design, it's time to add the values on the base. 

You can take the woolen thread of the same colour like blue and white for Doraemon and stick the ends on the top of the MDF base. Now, with the help of scissors cut all hanging strings on the top of Rakhi base and this will turn the MDF pre-marked Doraemon Rakhi into a woolen and pom-pom Rakhi.

Now, take the silk thread and tie both given holes of the MDF pre-marked Rakhi base. For this DIY Rakhi, you don't need to add values to the silk thread. If you still want, you can add the stars or colourful beads on both the threads.
