6. Machine Embroider a Tulle Veil

Probably one of the reasons why veils are expensive is the fact that they are so hard to embellish. If you see an embroidered tulle veil and think that it's not worth the price tag, you have another think coming. Because tulle is flimsy and light, it's easy to rip it apart during embroidery. To make your DIY a success, you will need the help of a stabilizer. The tutorial below shows you how to use Solvy as stabilizer.

7. Sew Lace to the Hem

This idea is similar to the ribbon-hemmed DIY veil but it's a lot prettier. There is something about gorgeous lace that adds elegance and magic to a wedding dress and veil. To add some to your DIY veil, you can choose to cut a strip of lace fabric or use several yards of lace that already comes in a strip form. Hand stitch pretty crystal beads for added effect.
