Veil Making for Idiots, Part 2

The Veil Making Saga continues.

I bought about thirty-nine dollars worth of materials ... twenty-nine of those dollars going towards this veil.
I bought a veil kit thingie at Michael's, and promptly took the veil off the hair comb. I then started to pin the veil to the headband.

The next step involved sewing the veil *to* the headband. This was a lot harder than it sounds. My fingernails ripped, the needle and my thumb became a little too well acquainted ... and then I grabbed my great-grandma's thimble. Oh thank heavens for that thimble. Made the sewing much easier.

After that, I tried on the veil (because, um, that's what you do. Yeaaah). See how it's almost reaching my butt? I wasn't too thrilled with that.

So I decided to make it poofy. Trust me, it was horrifying in person.The veil is almost finished, so part three should be posted in the next few days!
