Making a Wedding Veil How-to

How to make a veilI am excited to announce a new section on MyOnlineWeddingHelp.com–a series of veil making videos showing, in detail, step-by-step instructions on how to make a veil yourself.

Why make your own wedding veil? There are a variety of reasons:

  • You know what you want, but are having trouble finding it.
  • You are on a low budget (as almost everyone is these days) and are looking to cut expenses any way you can.
  • The third reason is courtesy of TwoHeartBirds.com. Making your veil together with another family member or your future MIL can be a bonding experience. “It would be an amazing gift to hand down to generations.”

If you are thinking you do not have the talent to make this, let me tell you one thing: the number one rule for my do-it-yourself videos is I have to be able to do it all by myself. On the 10-point “craftiness” scale I am a 2-3. So if I can do it, you can too.

What’s in the new section?

Veils.MyOnlineWeddingHelp.com/make-veil is an overview of my five-step veil making process, plus eight additional videos detailing those steps and a few considerations. There is a corresponding written page for each as well, if you are the type that would rather read instructions.

Here is an outline of the contents, followed by the overview video:

What you need to make a veil.

Step 1: Measuring and cutting veil fabric with your own, home made pattern.

Step 3: Gluing embellishments such as rhinestones, crystals, pearls, edging, or other decorations.

Step 4: Putting gathers in your veil.
