Make Bridal Headwear

The crowning touch of a bridal outfit is her headwear.

Create a perfect wedding day by creating the perfect bridal headpiece. The day of a wedding is the most important day in a woman's life. Every detail that goes into planning this special day must be painstakingly planned for in order to create the memories that the bride and groom will cherish for the rest of the their lives together. The way that the bride looks is usually at the top of her list of concerns that day. The crowning touch of a bridal outfit is her headwear. A beautiful, custom bridal veil can be created at home.

Instructions

1. Put a heatproof material on top of the work surface. Lay the tulle on top of the surface to avoid getting glue on the work surface. Attach ribbon to the edges of the tulle using a glue gun. Use super glue to attach seed pearls to the surface of the tulle evenly spaced apart.

2. Fold the tulle in half. Sew the tulle together four inches from the fold using a running stitch. Insert a narrow elastic band through the seam created.

3. Attach the tulle to the headpiece. The foundation can be constructed of a straw hat, pillbox style hat, headband, wire, hair barrette or a tiara. Glue the veil to the top or bottom of the tiara. Add faux pearls and ribbon to the tiara to cover any unsightly areas where the tulle connects to the tiara.

4. Add height to the bridal piece by wearing a form under the veil on the top of the head. Wrap a piece of cardboard, wire or fabric in white fabric that matches the design of the tiara or veil. Glue the fabric into place. Bend the fabric wrapped form into the shape of a circle. Glue combs to each side of the form. The combs will secure the form to the head.

5. Decorate the headpiece. Glue silk or satin damask to the tulle. Glue pearl sprays, large and small beads and lace trim to the bridal headwear. Connect flowers to the bridal piece using a glue gun or wire.
