Eid is literally almost here which means it’s time to start brainstorming henna tattoo ideas. If you guys don’t already know what Eid is, it is a celebration for the end of the month-long fasting period, Ramadan. Kids, women, and men all dress up in gorgeous outfits, play games, dance around, and eat delicious foods.
One of the best and most popular ways women, children, and sometimes even men celebrate Eid is by getting henna tattoos. They are temporary and normally last about 2-3 weeks. You can get whatever design you want, be as creative as you’d like, or like myself, get something that is simple and cute.
I’ve already made two other posts about mehndi designs that include more intricate and creative designs, if that is more your style, check them out here. But for those of you who don’t want to get your entire hand covered in mehndi and want something a little more simple, this is the post for you.
I’ve gathered over 35 insanely beautiful simple Mehndi designs for you to recreate. From pretty leaf motifs, flowers, and gorgeous mandala designs, your hands will be Eid-ready in no time.

SIMPLE MEHNDI DESIGNS
1. HEARTS AND ROSES
This is such a pretty back-of-hand mehdni design. The heart outlines and the roses on the outside are just amazing.
2. LEAF MOTIFS AND ROSES
Leaf motifs and roses are two of the most popular designs you’ll find on almost all henna tattoos. I mean, just look at it! It’s popular for a reason.

Net designs are a great addition to your mehndi. They are cute, simple, and go with virtually any other design. They look absolutely stunning with flowers and leaf motifs.

If you don’t want a bunch of designs covering your hand, this is a great option for you. It’s simple, cute, and won’t take a lot of time to recreate.

Just because you want a simple mehndi doesn’t mean it can’t look amazing. This intricate mehndi design is absolutely stunning. There are floral designs, leaf motifs, shading techniques, and lots of lines.
6. LEAVES AND LINES
I am a sucker for the simpler things. I know it doesn’t sound like it’ll look good but, simply adding leaves and lots of intricate lines will make your henna stand out.
7. DOTTED BRACELET DESIGN
I am in love with the dotted bracelet design. Not only is it very easy to achieve, it also looks like a hand chain.
8. DIFFERENT DESIGNS ON HANDS
If you want something bold and simple but can’t decide on which one you like more, just go with both. On one hand you can get a bold design and on the other, get something much simpler.
9. FLOWERS AND DOTTED BRACELETS
There is nothing quite as lovely as the simple flowers and dotted bracelet combo. You can also add some net designs and lines to your fingers.
10. FLOWERS, LEAVES, AND LINES
I love this Mehndi design. The leaves, lines, dots, and pretty heart motifs are just gorgeous. They come together so effortlessly. These are definitely going to garner some attention.
11. TWISTING DESIGNS WITH FINGER TATTOOS
The easiest way to achieve simple henna designs is to just draw on your fingers. That way, your back-of-hand will stay empty and make it appear less crowded.
12. SWEEPING LEAVES
I know I said I love the dotted bracelet design because it looks like a hand chain but, I think I like the sweeping leaves even more. It looks like a bolder version of the dotted design.
13. NET DESIGN WITH FLOWERS
If you mess up the designs on your fingers easily, try out the net design. They don’t require a lot of effort and even beginners can do it.
14. ASYMMETRICAL HENNA
Spruce up your simple mehndi a little and have most of the designs on one side of the hand. You can connect the design to your farthest finger so it looks asymmetrical.
15. TEMPLE DESIGNS
OMG! This Mehndi design is simply outstanding! The Hindu temple designs on the fingers are absolutely stunning. I love how the overall look is still simple but has intricate designs like that.
16. FLOWERS GALORE
Flower designs are a classic design for mehndi. You probably won’t even find one without it. You can draw a bunch of flowers and connect them with swirls and leaf motifs all the way up to your finger.
17. CRESCENT MOON
The crescent moon in combination with the leaves is gorgeous. You can add some leaves on your fingers alongside some pretty flowers to complete the look.
18. INTRICATE FLORAL DESIGN
Flowers are a classic for Mehdni. You can dress them down or dress them up. This particular mehndi design has lots of flowers connecting one another and it looks gorgeous. I love the straight line of leaf motifs going up the fingers as well.
19. DOTTED SWIRLS AND FLOWERS
If you want something simple and with some pretty florals, this is the one for you. There are intricate designs on the fingers with simple designs on the back of hand.
20. LEAVES AND FLOWERS
I just cannot get enough of leaves and flowers. Although they are used on a lot of mehndi designs, you can try different combinations for a completely unique look.
21. DOTS, LEAVES, AND FLOWERS
No need to go overboard with the designs this Eid. Keep it classy and cute with this minimal mehndi. Add some leaves, dotted lines here and there, and don’t forget the flowers.
22. DESIGNS ON ONE SIDE
I absolutely love the look of all of the designs on one side of the hand. I think it makes it look much classier and simpler. You can add some pretty designs on your fingers if it’s looking too empty.
23. FINGER TATTOOS AND PRETTY FLOWERS
Flowers are the focal point of Mehndi. Combine them with lines, dots, and leaves so they come together effortlessly.
24. MINIMAL HENNA DESIGN
The single row of leaf motifs climbing up the finger is just gorgeous. I also love how the tips of the fingers are covered in mehndi. They will look stunning and very bright once it dries.
25. PALM HENNA TATTOO
I’ve noticed a lot of people overlook the palm design. But, I’m here to tell you not to. They will be even more darker than the design on back of your hand because of the heat. Plus, they make your hand look amazing!
26. DAINTY MEHNDI
This is seriously so cute. If you love dainty designs and want something minimal, definitely try this out.
27. ROSES AND LEAVES
If there is two designs that go together seamlessly, it is roses and leaves. They just look so good together. Especially combined with more floral designs.

29. SWIRLS DESIGNS
Another super simple design to add to your mehndi is swirls. They are simple and anyone can do it.
30. ELEGANT MEHNDI
Mehndi is a form of art and it always pops off no matter what design you decide to get. This one is super cute and elegant.
31. LEAVES DESIGNS
Leaf motifs are a must for practically any design. They add so much more character and are very minimal.
32. FINGER TATTOOS AND DOTTED DESIGN
I love finger tattoos. I feel like they bring the entire look of the henna design together. Without the finger tattoos, it looks like something is missing.
33. FLOWERS AND SWEEPING BRACELET
I am a floral kind of girl. How could I not be when there are mehndis that look like this? The sweeping dotted bracelets that connect the two designs together is such a nice touch.
34. NET DESIGN ON FINGERS
I usually don’t see net designs on the fingers. They are normally on the center on the back of the hand. I don’t know why exactly but you can’t tell this doesn’t look stunning.
35. LAYERED FLOWERS
Layered flowers are gorgeous! I’m talking beyond pretty. They are simple but add so much to the overall design. Combine them with leaves and a few sweeping bracelets for the finished look.
36. DAINTY DESIGN
We’ve got another super cute and dainty design here. This is great for minimalist lovers and for children as well. It’s not too much with the designs and is just right.
37. FLOWERS, ROSES, AND LEAVES
I’ve saved the best for last! This is definitely my favorite Eid henna design. I know it’s not “simple” but it doesn’t go overboard to the point where the entire hand is covered.
