How do I make a short wedding veil?

Making a short veil is a simple DIY project that takes about an hour. You will need tulle fabric, a hair comb, needle and thread, and scissors. First, decide the length. A short veil usually falls between your chin and your shoulders. Cut the tulle into a rectangle or a rounded shape. For a soft edge, cut it with pinking shears or leave it raw, as tulle does not fray. Fold the top edge over about an inch and gather it by hand sewing a running stitch along the fold. Pull the thread to gather the tulle into a neat bunch. Then sew the gathered edge securely onto the comb. Make sure the comb is clean and dry. You can add a ribbon trim or small beads for decoration, but keep it simple if you are new to sewing. Try the veil on with your hair done to check the length and how it sits. You can also make a blusher by cutting a separate shorter piece and attaching it to the same comb. If you want a more polished finish, ask a seamstress to hem the edges. A short veil is a lovely option for a civil ceremony or a relaxed outdoor wedding because it is light and easy to wear.
