+Megan Haley In terms of spacing, try to keep a gap of about 4mm, and that should give you a decent space between the design elements. You could also try lightly outlining the design (without the filler details) first on your hand, and then go back over them once you have the outline right. Not all henna pastes allow you to lightly outline though, so I would recommend a paste made from Rajasthani or Jamila henna powders; or both. In terms of making a free-hand design, that will become easier once you have memorised common henna design elements in your mind, and are used to drawing them out. For example, if you learn how to draw a basic flower, leaves, paisley and filler details, you could then create different designs by free-hand just by using these design elements in different orders on your hand ... if that makes sense. ... Doing things free-hand though generally only comes with experience. Hope that helps ! :-)
+Megan Haley Yes, you would need to do each design element smaller. So you might stop the mandala about 3 layers in rather than 6. When you're doing the design, try to "step back" and look at the design as a whole to check if your design elements are the right size. But yes, usually you would have to adapt the size of the design elements to fit the size of your hand.
I always recommend natural henna. The two which appear to stain the best are Jamila and Rajasthani henna powders. Henna artists often sell the natural henna cones they use and most of them use these two powders in their paste. So if you find henna artists who can ship to you, you should be able to get a hold of cones made from these powders, if you don't want to make your own.
+ClassyTsion Probably not if you just do it once, but I still wouldn't recommend it. You could buy tattoo gel pens which are safe to use on the skin, if you don't have henna.
ShAnZa NaAz Cr7 This is natural henna which has not been fully terped (as I am sensitive to essential oils), which is why the colour is not as dark. It sounds like you are referring me to chemical henna which I do not and will not use. Please refrain from advertising chemical henna on my channel as they are not products that I endorse. Thank you.

No problem I have been trying to do henna but I can't seem to get the spacing and making a free hand design do you have any tips

My hand is smaller so would that change the design at all or no?

Nope, that would be dangerous.
