Make It Yourself: Wedding Veil

Make your own wedding veil using tulle from an old skirt! Add a personal touch by incorporating a few fancy embellishments. 

Supplies

• 1 Tulle skirt
• Hair pin/comb (or bobby pins)
• Embellishments (feathers, lace flowers, studs, rhinestones)
• Glue gun
• Seam ripper
• Hand sewing needle
• Thread
• Scissors

Instructions

STEP 1
Using a seam ripper, remove the tulle underlining from your old skirt. Keep the amount that you'll need to make a veil (depends on the final size of the veil).

STEP 2
Start shaping the tulle by cutting around the designated piece until you have the desired shape.

STEP 3
Using a hand sewing needle and thread, attach a bobby pin or hair pin/comb to your veil. Test it out to see if it is sturdy enough by pinning it in your hair.

STEP 4
Embellish away! Add feathers or lace flowers to your veil using the hand sewing needle and thread. Use a hot glue gun to add small rhinestones and give it some bling.
