$20 DIY Birdcage Veil

I ran across this lovely little find at Project Wedding! I thought I'd share it with all you other vintage/DIY/budget brides.

Materials Needed:

 
2 feet of Russian Veiling (9", 12" or 18"- see what different sizes mean down below), Hair comb, Thread and needle, Ruler, Scissors

Starting at point A (at the left lower corner) start sewing in and out of the diamond shapes to gather the fabric. You'll continue sewing in and out on all sides until you get to point B.

Sew it onto a hair clip or a fascinator. You can sew it onto a plain hair clip and add embellishments, to make it more personal.

 The netting is usually Russian veiling, which you can find in a millenary store or online. It comes in three different sizes: 9", 12", and 18". If you want a little cover over your hair, use the 9". If you want it to cover your eyes, you'll want 12" and if you want it to cover your nose or chin you'll want the 18" veiling (cut it down to 16" to cover the nose.)

 The veiling also comes in different colors and embellishments to add that really unique flair to your veil and wedding.

If you don't have the time to make your own, there are some really cute birdcages on Etsy.
