Among the huge variety of hats, wedding hats with a veil stand out. It can be small cylinders, caps - tablets, fur hats for winter weddings or abstract decorations. The veil can both cover the face and is located behind, simulating a veil. Its length depends solely on the preferences of the bride.

Creating such a thing, it is worth paying special attention to the choice of fabric. The veil should be made of mesh, which is distinguished by its hardness and transparency.

To create a hat with a veil with your own hands, the fabric is selected in the same color, and jewelry should be in the same key, but may vary slightly. The fabric tape is folded so that small assemblies are obtained, then round its edges with scissors. It is attached to the outer base of the hat with a thread and a needle. The stitches should be small and almost invisible. Since the seam will still be visible, you need to decorate it. For this, a composition is made of beads, rhinestones, flowers, beads, etc. Here, the choice of materials and compositional decision depends solely on the imagination and skills of the author of the work.
