making your own veil!

tinksy

Hi ladies

Being on a tight budget im making my own veil, its far cheaper for me as im only wanting a simple short one.

I have found some beautiful tulle in John Lewis which should cost me around £11.50, hopefully less as i wont need a metre. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a veil tho??!

i was thinking just cutting a square and then gathering up at the top and sewing together and then attaching (somehow) to a comb/clip!

suggestions welcome xxx

I can't be certain but I think it's cut in a circle shap. Try having a search on http://www.craftster.org/

It's a great site and if you join up to the forum I am sure someone will have made their own veil or will know how to. Good Luck

If you haven't bought it yet - have you had a look on ebay for veils??

If you think of the cost from JL, plus buying a comb etc, then all the work - you can find veils on ebay for around £15 (sometimes less)

I got a double layer waist length one with ribbon edging for £18.

i have looked on ebay but dont like them! i dont want a plain one and i dont like sparkles as my dress has pearl details. I only want a single layer and i want it quite short (im soo picky!).

Bind the edges with the same fabric as your dress or use a suitable ribbon. You can either machine it or hand sew carefully.

mine doesnt need to be bound as its a finished scalloped edge, mum has just emailed me to say they have got it against the dress and it looks fab so im all excited! next plan is to do a rough plan of how much i need! xx
