The 2nd step is not that much easy as you look in picture. The plastic is very much slippery wrap the plastic in such a way that at the end of the corner so space must left so that your paste should not come out of the cone.Just while wrapping keep it in mind that the funnel end should have small plastic covered area.so that it can be easily cut for paste to come out.

As soon as you get a good shape funnel  you will need to tape along the side edges where the plastic overlaps. Be careful while tapping keeping in mind that plastic should not leave the exact space, or you will have to start again. Its very easy if you make some small pieces of tape ready before doing this process. Tape all the way from bottom to top so that you get a cone shape structure.

Step Four: Filling the cone

Now just fill the henna mehndi paste which you already prepared previously. Take one small spoon and take a small amount of paste it in and pour it in cone carefully and press a finger slightly against it.Repeat it till the plastic cone get half full. Filling too much paste can cause the cone to be hard to handle and burst due to excessive squeezing. *Note: Never use any metal utensil try to use only plastic and glass one.
Step Five: tapping  the cone from head

The person who is experienced with mehndi designs will just twist the head of the cone and start applying mehndi.
