Because “Bhaiya mere rakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana” hits differently when the rakhi is made by you.
If you grew up in India, you know Raksha Bandhan isn’t just a festival, it’s an emotion. A chaotic, nostalgia-filled, memory-packed moment where sibling wars pause for a day and love gets tied with a thread (and sometimes, a side-eye).
But here’s the thing, store-bought rakhis, no matter how glittery or gold-plated, rarely carry that personal spark. The one that says “This is just for YOU, bro.” That’s where personalized rakhis step in, not just as accessories, but as memory-makers.
So this year, don’t just shop. Create. Craft something that speaks to your bond, weird, sweet, spicy, or all of the above.
Here’s why personalized rakhis matter, and how you can make them with easy-to-use materials right at home.
The Emotion Behind a Personalised Rakhi
1. Because Generic Feels… Meh
The usual rakhis you find at the market, velvet base, golden centerpiece, two plastic beads, and some shiny thread. Every brother gets the same template.
But your bond isn’t basic. Maybe he’s a Marvel nerd, a chai addict, a gamer, or the “khadoos but caring” type. Personalized rakhis let you design based on him, and the drama-filled story you share.
2. They Make Every Year Memorable
Ever looked back at old rakhis and gone: “Did I tie this? I don’t remember.”
Now imagine making a resin rakhi with his birth date in it. Or a druzzy mould with your inside joke sticker. Or even a rakhi shaped like a tiny PS controller (yes, that exists).
These rakhis don’t get discarded after a week, they get kept.
3. They’re Easy (and Surprisingly Addictive) to Make
You don’t need to be a Pinterest queen or an art topper. With the right moulds and materials, anyone can create stunning, professional-looking rakhis in just a few hours.
Some must-try materials:
-
Rakhi Moulds (A to M)
From mini bezels to druzzy shapes and traditional outlines, these silicone moulds are designed to capture all sizes, from dainty designs to bold statements.
Add names, quirky quotes, brother-sister doodles, or even zodiac signs using ready-to-peel sticker sheets. Instant character, zero hassle.
Not sure where to begin? Start with pre-packed DIY kits, they include moulds, threads, stickers and instructions. Like Maggi, but for crafting.
-
Thread Rolls, Beads & Chains
Go beyond mauli. Think colourful braided threads, stone-studded bracelet chains and matte-finish beads. Mix & match textures, colours and metals.
Classy metal stickers, golden embellishments, marble beads, perfect for grown-up brothers who act too cool but secretly love gestures.
Finish your creation with a rakhi card or hangable trinket. (And yes, you can add a fake ₹500 note inside. We won't judge.)
4. It’s Therapy in Disguise
Making rakhis isn’t just creative, it’s also surprisingly calming. Stirring resin, pouring slowly into a mould, setting designs, layering glitter, it’s mindfulness, craft-style. You get to slow down in a world that rarely lets you.
5. You Can Make It a Family Activity
Imagine this: Mom doing the colour mixing, you pouring resin, your niece sticking on stickers, and Dad supervising like it’s rocket science.
A personalized rakhi isn’t just a gift. It becomes a family memory, one where the making is just as special as the final result.
Conclusion: It’s Not Just a Rakhi, It’s a Story
Raksha Bandhan is the one time of the year where siblings hit pause on trolling and actually express love. So why not express it your way?
Create something that says: “You annoy me, but I love you anyway.”
With moulds for every vibe, kits for every level, and materials for every theme, Tulsi Resin has everything you need to turn your rakhi into a keepsake. Not just tied and forgotten, but cherished.
This year, tie a memory, not just a thread.
