Crowning Glories Veil

Slip on that special headpiece made just for you and something magical happens. Directions are for a V-shaped form, but other bases can be used.

  • straight pins
  • 30" (75cm) two-tiered white veil
  • white feathers
  • pearl spray
  • 8mm sew-on pearls
  • one sequin flower appliqué
  • 3" (8cm) white bridal loops

  • 20" (51cm) white lace
  • hot-glue gun and glue sticks
  • sewing needle
  • sewing machine
  • white thread
  • two clear hair combs

Fold under one short end of satin; wrap around form so edges overlap inside form and folded end is at back of form; pin. Hand-sew edges together using an overcast stitch.

Remove needle; pull threads to gather edge into a circle, ends overlapping; knot threads securely. Sew flower appliqué in center.

Make one ranunculus as follows. Cut a 2" x 8" (5cm x 20cm) piece of satin. Fold in half lengthwise; run a row of basting stitches along raw edge. Pull thread to gather, wrapping strip into spiral; tack to secure.

Make three leaves as follows. Cut a 2" x 1-1/4" (5cm x 3cm) piece of satin. Fold in half lengthwise. Fold both ends down diagonally toward center. Next, fold corners to center. Run a row of gathering stitches along bottom edge. Gather stitches; knot thread ends.

Embellish Form

Sew feathers, pearls, and pearl spray to headpiece, pushing needle through buckram form to secure. Sew flowers and leaves to center of arrangement. Hot-glue lace around inside of form to conceal stitches.
