Henna Caravan artists prefer cones that are sealed with tiny rubber-bands.
They allow you to roll the rubber-band down as the cone is emptied and keeps an even pressure on the cone which helps prevent wrist and hand fatigue.
Cones can be taped closed as well, just fold and tape down like a gift wrapped box.

Gather your Supplies
- Filled Henna Cones
- Tiny rubber-bands
|
|
|
- Grasp the tail of the cone and pinch together the excess, empty floraphane/cellophane
|
 |
- Pinch the empty tail tightly and slide your fingers down to the filled portion.
- Squeeze and twist the tail to tightly seal the cone.
- Be sure not to let any henna paste squeeze up into the tail
|
|
|
- Twist the tail to make 1 or 2 full twists above the filled portion to completely lock the cones closed. This prevents the henna paste from squishing up (so much) and exploding out the back.
|
|
|
- Seal your cone with a tiny rubber-band (the HC preferred method! though tape works great too)
- Wrap the rubber-band on several times to ensure the cone is fully sealed and no henna will explode out the back while you squeeze and draw.

|
As you draw and use up the paste, slide the rubber-band down to keep the pressure full in the cone. If you notice your cone is limp and hard to squeeze, try adjusting the pressure by sliding the rubber-band down.
