Bindi

LunaXJJ · 07-26-2010, 02:04 PM

Ok so, around here there's no where I can buy bindis, and I can't buy them online due to payment methods.

You know the little nail kits you can get with various sticky gems? Would it be possible to use those?

Bindis aren't middle-eastern, so there aren't any issues of 'authenticity' etc. So if you want to decorate your forehead, I would say you can use whatever you like to do so.

Thanks.

Why not try making your own bindis? Here's a link that I hope will help you:

Nice, thanks for sharing.

We have made "bindi's" out of nail jewlery, jewlery from the jewlery section, etc. If you really want it to stay I advise using a little drop of eye lash glue on the back and then stick it to your forehead. Holds her right on.

Thank you Cheart.

I use the small tube and not the individual lash glue because it has no brush that you can lose. The small tube comes out white but it dries clear so you don't see it at all.

Pick up some Swarovski crystals!

Expensive, but oh do they shine...the cheaper nail rhinestones do not catch the light as well and could end up looking like dots on your face.

I'd love to, but money is quite an issue. I wish I could buy some online. They're so pretty, and oh so cheap.
