Me and Martha Monday project #7

Okay I did it again! I had chosen a project from Martha Steward weddings, but I just couldn't shake the need to make a bridal veil. So today when my good friend Mary came to visit, we went to Joann's Fabric and found some patterns and I just couldn't resist!! The best part was I already had some tulle and a small comb in my stash of craft supplies, so once dinner was over I looked through my stuff and created this little cutie. Since it is my first go at this type of veil, there are a couple things I would like to change, but the best part is I learned a TON about how to gather a veil for this two layer effect. I placed the comb is such a way that it can be worn on top of your head like this, ( a way to be a blushing bride if you desire) or tucked under your hair like the next photo.

This design measures 14 inches from the comb to the bottom of the longest layer and 12 inches for the shorter one. Why aren't there any pictures of the process you ask? Because I was so involved in figuring this pattern out that I never stopped to think to take a photograph of it. The good news is that I am planning on making another one soon. I want to start fresh with all the things I learned so I can make it better then I am going to add some beading around the trip, you know for some bling bling!! The coolest part is that I made this, first time, in about 1.5 hours, give or take a little. I really like it and I think I am going to start selling it on my Esty.com shop. Maybe once I get really good I will get some pictures of it on a bride, not me!!
