Embroidery

• Use hand or machine embroidery to add floral, paisley, or geometric patterns.

• Zari, zardozi, or aari work add a rich, traditional touch.

Beadwork & Sequins

• Sew on sequins, pearls, or crystal beads to the border or pallu for a sparkly finish.

• Go dense for a party look or minimal for elegance.

Mirror Work

• Add small mirrors (shisha work) along the pallu or borders to make it festive.

Patchwork & Appliqué

• Use contrasting fabrics or motifs (like peacocks, flowers) and stitch them on for a bold statement.

Lace or Net Borders

• Stitch on lace trims or net overlays for a soft, romantic look.

• Gold lace instantly adds a festive vibe.

Tassels & Latkans

• Attach them at the corners of the pallu or all along the border for movement and flair.

Fabric Paint or Block Prints

• Paint motifs or use wooden blocks for printing with fabric-safe colors. Great for a boho or ethnic feel.
