Mantilla Veil

I love mantillas! Someone tell me why they have to be so freaking expensive!!! The crafter in me is beyond excited. I went to Habermans' in Royal Oak (one of the best fabric stores in Michigan) and found a Chantilly lace that is perfect. I bought a yard, just to test it out and see if I would even be able to DIY it. It was a success!! Using 'Unique Stitch' which is a fabric glue, I applied the lace (which I cut and trimmed to just the scalloped border) to the edges of the tulle. It dried clear. I also did some hand stitching with invisible thread to secure it in some spots. It came out beautiful. I know a lot of brides would love to have this style veil, but can't spend the money to have one. This is a great way to get what you want, and to save a bit of money doing it too! This is just the sample, the finished one will have the cut edges of the tulle hidden behind the lace.
