Coconut Shell-Based Mini Tricolour Badges Are in Trend This Independence Day: Check Out

Women of a self-help group at Kodimbady near Puttur in Dakshina Kannada who specialise in coconut shell handicrafts, have begun making coconut shell-based mini tricolour badges. The badges, made by members of Mahalingeshwara Sanjeevini Okkoota under the National Rural Livelihood Mission, can be pinned to clothes.

Tricolour stickers are pasted on rectangular shaped coconut shells. Each badge is 1.5 inch long and one inch wide, and secured using a safety pin. Each badge is priced at ₹25.

The group members are also making coconut shell based tricolour mini flags which can be fixed inside cars. Among other coconut shell handicrafts, keychains and mementos are in demand. The women want to make door, wall, and car hangings in the coming days.
