Hi Ankita.....
The materials you need for making Raksha Bandhan are Silk threads (multi-colored around 30-inches length), Cotton thread, Beads, sequins, Scissors, Glue etc.

Take the multi-colored silk threads and fold the length of the bunch into half. At one-fourth of the length, tie a tight knot using the cotton thread. Cut the loops of the folded thread and using the brush, fluff the open ends so that they rise up in a bunch.

You can plait the longer part of the thread in any way you choose. After that, tie the open ends with cotton thread and fluff their ends too. These two ends will be used to tie around the wrist. You can use the beads and sequins to decorate the upper part.

Apart from that one can installed a gift counter in the apartment vicinity. The society can collect money and buy gifts so that they can give the gifts away during the celebration. Apart from this, family members can also buy personal gifts and offer them to their guests.

Right Pranay!!!
They can also install speakers and form a stage for the dance and singing competition. This activity can be hosted in the form of a competition or just a celebration. A DJ and a mike comparer can be arranged for this event to make it more interesting.

Society can also make arrangement of the thali and the puja organization. A thali is the important required on this occasion as all sisters prepare this for the ritual. The puja thali consists of diya, roli, chawal, rakhi thread and sweets.

Once the thali is ready, the ritual can begin with a prayer in front of the idol which can be placed in the selected place of the apartment. Placing just one idol makes the puja process easier for all sisters.

Hi Ananya....wish you a very Happy Raksha Bandhan in advance!!!!!
The apartment owners' association can organise the event and invite all the people by sending invitation cards. The invitations can be distributed collectively so that the entire society will be aware of the celebration.

I think this is the right way of celebrating this festival in apartment. A rakhi counter can be installed in the apartment vicinity with colourful rakhis on display. You can also ask the members to make their own rakhis and sell it inside the apartment. Apart from just rakhis the counter can also have Raksha Bandhan greeting cards, sweets, attires, gifts and other necessary items.
