DIY Birdcage Veil Tutorial

[@prettdiva]

Awesome video, I'm getting married the third week in February & I love birdcage veils! They're just over priced, thanks for this great and easy tutorial I can make my own!!!! AWESOME :) excellent detail.

[@eligeski]

Your tutorial is the best one I've found - great detail about the stitching and how to start by going through the solid squares before looping through the diamond shape. Thank you!!

[@Angelsnw29]

I am not crafty at all and you made this look so simple and fun... Thank you a million times over!

[@chantalcallewaert9121]

I watched your tutorial a while ago. Ordered the material on Etsy. The last item arrived today and I started making my birdcage veil straight away. In no time it was finished. I also added some feathers for a more dramatic look. Super easy, great result!

[@mday8776]

Perfect for a semi casual courthouse wedding. I will be making this for my daughter. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!!

[@MonsterWitch13]

I was going to buy one but I just couldn't find one that wasn't too accessorised. I'm so happy I found your tutorial! Now I know I can make my own veil. Thanx!

[@Cburns1988]

Thank you!! I made mine the night before my wedding, thanks to your great tutorial it came out perfect.

[@loobymykeeriley]

I am going to have a go at my first birdcage veil today, I have been designing and making fascinators but i want to learn new bits :) . This is a great tutorial Thank You

[@andreadrenzek2470]

This was great! and comedic! I too found all of these veils on Etsy for insane prices, and I know I am totally capable to make them myself.

[@ForsakenNJaded]

BEST tutorial I have found so far! Very HELPFUL.

[@Ophilia535]

Great tutorial. I made my wedding veil in 15 minutes after watching this. I used tulle for the whole veil instead of the netting and it came out perfect.

[@rikkimoser468]

I think you just saved me a lot of money! I was about to buy something on Ebay or Etsy until I found your tutorial.

[@juliaoverton7535]

Loved it! You sure made it look way easier than some of the other videos I've seen. Thank you!

[@stephanieacosta7091]

Greatest tutorial I have found! Cant wait to make mine for my wedding.next week :)

[@JEWELLJUDY]

I appreciate your video. Very easy to understand and the comic relief destressers invaluable. Thank you

[@mrawrawk]

great tutorial, I'm totally pumped to make my own veil. Really didn't want to pay over $300.00 for a Sara Gabriel birdcage veil. This will look great with a little decor sewn on top of the comb.

[@brittneybrewer8576]

This video was great! I made my own veil no problem and I'm honestly impressed with how mine turned out. Thanks for the amazing and easy to follow instructions

[@katbox87]

[@lugal78]

Awesome! Thanks for the tips, totally making my own veil for my wedding!!!

[@Missmissymaria]

"Measure yo' head" LOL I know this video is like 3 years old, but it's so helpful!! This is probably the easiest, and most helpful, video I've found in the internet on how to make these type of veils. Thank you! Off to Etsy I go! :)

[@Smarterkid116]

Thanks, your demo was the most detailed I've seen yet!!

[@onyxdragon6980]

Thank you for making this tutorial! I'm making my own birdcage veil and found this very helpful.

[@hitchedinco]

You are welcome! I started out making flowers, bows and tutus for little girls before I started trying to make wedding hair flowers and now veils:)

[@amber0dawn]

Thank you! I couldn't find one that I WANTED that was for sale. But this is simple, beautiful and perfect!

[@nicoledavis1979]

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!!!! Having a Notebook themed (vintage) wedding and am doing a lot myself. This will be very useful! Thank you for this...

[@christinapope3362]

Like the movie the Notebook? I LOVE that movie!!! I bet your wedding will be gorgeous!

[@nicoledavis1979]

Christina Pope Thank you. I am hoping so! :)

[@autoaustin3213]

your husband is hilarious on this. thanks for the tips!!

[@AnthK1973]

What a great tutorial. It is so easy to follow and explains everything you need. Can't wait to start making some. Thank you

[@hitchedinco]

Great tutorial on how to make your own Birdcage Veil.

[@hitchedinco]

As for your question about the false lashes, attach the comb at the desired spot on your head, take two (or more if you need them) bobby pins and use them to secure the veil behind your temples. (I do this even if the bride isn’t wearing fake lashes because it holds the veil down in a more appealing way but it also allows you to control how close the veil is to your face/lashes.) I would recommend doing a trial run with your lashes and veil before the big day. I hope that helps, thank you!!!

[@HippocritesSuck]

One of the best tutorials I have seen. Thanks for sharing. x

[@jacquelinering7108]

Great tutorial. Much easier than the others I watched.

[@curta4]

Thank you for this video! I'm making one of these for my niece for her upcoming wedding! You made it SUPER easy to understand! I can't wait to get started!! :)

[@NREnger]

Best tutorial on making birdcage. Thank you this helped so much!!

[@bovels1949]

Love the idea a pretty satin or fresh flower would look beautiful with it.

[@michelle-uw6vz]

I'm having a beach wedding in April and this cost 40 dollars less than amazon.com my veil turned out so awesome! Thanks for the tutorial

[@monariimoveis586]

Uaaau!! Adoreeei esse tutoriaal!! Parabéens!! Vou fazer o meeu!! huhuhuh Thank youu!! God bless you!!

[@MsSignsnwonders]

OMG! I loved your tutorial. I love fascinators and always wanted to learn how to make one. You made it seem so effortless. I can't wait to make my first one thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart thank you so much

[@PicPerPro]

Great job! Love the tutorial! Very descriptive...I do believe I can do this now...not at intimidating anymore.Thank you!!!

[@hitchedinco]

Hobby Lobby sells satin headbands. You could sew the netting to the headband once you've made it instead of sewing it to the comb like in the tutorial. If you aren't good with a needle and thread you could always hot glue it to the under side of the headband.

[@harleygirl8322]

Thank you very much for your tutorial, I am in the process of making a birdcage veil for my daughters wedding, and your instructions we easy to follow, although I am attaching her veil on an alligator clip, as she wants veil and fascinator separate. Hope it works.

[@jaidamann8365]

Outstanding Tutorial... THANKS.. Congrats on the wedding.

[@minnyl]

Thank you so much for sharing! I have to be honest before you stood up I thought you were wearing a wedding dress :P I think I'm going to make my own veil too, thanks to you! :D

[@kasiasns]

Oh great! Thank you sooo much! You are awesome! I just produced the prettiest birdcage veil I have ever seen in my entire life! I added one small material rose on top (actually Iattached it to the comb) - it looks great:D So elegant, You saved me! thank you soooooo MUCH!

[@srmwalburn]

Excellent tutorial. Very easy to understand. Thank you!

[@kgriesbaum04]

This video was so easy to follow and perfect for what I was looking for! :) Thanks you just saved us some money!

[@kazoomare]

Im making one for my daughter, and since her bridesmaids are wearing black dresses, I will be adding a small black bow on hers. I think it is cool to tie in a little color to make it a little more interesting. :-)

[@mikmissy]

I LOVE your tutorial I made 3 already so far the last is my favorite. You made this SO easy to fallow :D Thank you!

[@lindasims919]

instructions were perfect, and you kept me laughing. :-)

[@CityGirlOnTheFarm]

Great tutorial! Although, I wish you had shown the whip stitch in greater detail. That is where I got lost. I will just have to research whip stitch now! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@rachelholmes2965]

Hey, Great tutorial. I love your personality it makes the tutorial less intimidating; I felt like I was watching a friend. Okay so my question is, I want to put the veil on a headband, how would you recommend I attach it? If I use the tulle as a base, would I use hot glue? Fabric glue? Thanks so much in advance.

[@hitchedinco]

I have a 3 year old:) Bubble Guppies is one of his favs!

[@hbyrd1806]

Do you have any tutorials for a birdcage veil that's on a headband? My hair is short and very fine, so I can't use combs.

[@teawithvictoriacards]

Super-easy and clear! thanx! Love, Vikky

[@nattybelch123]

Girl you just saved me 100 bucks thanks for the tut

I am 1:13 in and have to pause to tell you how adorable you are. And I already love this video and know that I won't need to look any further for help! (1st video I hit in my search too!) XOXOXO THANK YOU!!!!

[@VideoVixen24]

Did you mean 2013? LOL! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!

[@redeemedByJesus79]

i will be making mine this wknd,ty so much for this tutorial

[@karengiancaterino8560]

Thank you for explaining things so well!

[@beeology]

Great job with your instructions.

[@hitchedinco]

Yes, you can apply crystals or very small pearls to this veil. I usually use tiny swarovski crystals and gem tack glue or Aleene's tacky glue to attach them. TIP: dip a toothpick in hot wax., let it cool and then use it to pick up the tiny pearls or gems. They are so hard to pick up with your fingers!

[@hitchedinco]

yes you do make a knot before hand. Thanks for asking!

[@jjva9740]

What was that place you mentioned to purchase different colors of the Russian net?

[@tomiku93]

Mine turned out really wonderful thank you so much!

[@njs1998]

great tutorial, thank you! and i love 'supplies!' assuming that's a bubble guppies reference? lol

[@christinapope3362]

Thank you all so much for the kind comments! We would love to see your versions of the birdcage veil! Please send photos to [e-mail] and we'll post them on our blog at www.hitchedingj.com!

[@lcbowz1]

I have a jeweled comb to use with this veil; what do you suggest I do regarding the tulle wrap? can I glue it instead?

[@2himallpraise]

This looks really nice great job

[@SsLafontaine]

This is a fantastic tutorial!

[@shaadz2526jamal]

I love this tutorial/video thank you for breaking it down for me

[@mariajurado8580]

thank you very interesting! thanks to your partner sor holding those triangles lol

[@GrlsavedbyGrace]

Christina, there was a part of your video where you had made a knot on the thread when you were ready to sew, do you actually make a knot on the thread before you start or do you not? I was a bit confused on your video there.

[@4everSushi]

I'm going to play with the colors of the material, maybe add a flower and use this for prom : ) Thank you
