a Simple poola jadalu for wedding | seemantham | engagement
The advantage is that it is very light because we use dainty flowers and cardboard
Take dainty flowers like jasmine and tie them the traditional way but one one side only
Tie both ends of the string to get a circular shaped flower decoration
Cut the excess thread
Fold a card board as shown in the image below
Tie the flowers to the cardboard
Continue tying as shown in the picture below with floral decorations of decreasing diameter
For each flower complete by tying a knot at the back
Cut the excess cardboard to match the outer shape of the flowers
These simple jewellery can be made using circular canvas . Kundan stones and other decorative trinkets are stuck as shown to get a circular shaped jewel. Since the base is made with canvas it can be tied with a string and needle . However if it is for a one time use it is better to stick because the string will be visible
Tie or stick the jewels to the jada. Tie thread to the cardboard at two or three places. This will help us tie to the flower decoration to the hair when we use it for marriage, baby showers etc.
I have shared this idea for Ammavari decoration for Varalakshmi Vratham. If you are using for functions make it longer to suit the length of the braid
Another method is using fresh flowers instead of the jewelry. I have used roses and dhavana
as shown in the images below
Can also be a beautiful decoration for Navartri festival. If we watch old Tamil movies or Telugu movie songs, we can observe that the heroine wears beautiful floral decoration for plaits during the wedding celebrations. I have seen mogalirekulu petals adorning the head along with other flower decorations.
Our previous generations were truly connoisseurs of art and craft. We are fortunate that they have handed over to us these traditions and customs. This blog is my humble contribution to preserve these ideas for those who are interested - to know or learn.
