I don't know, but if your veil is very fragile, just be VERY careful not to pull or tear it.

I can't help you out with how to do it..sorry.. But I too am having crystals on my veil, Bridal Reflections is doing it for me. I would mess it up!!! I think that the crystals will give it a nice touch!!

Maybe you should glue them on instead?

If there are holes in the beads I know there is a filament thread (looks like fishing line) that is used for beadwork. I plan on adding beadwork to my veil as well and am going to practice doing so over the next month. I'll let you know if it works out!

Re: sewing beads on a veil
jenny, did you do the bead work??? the beads that i am using SHOULD have holes in them...my guess is to make a small knot and go through the underside then thread the bead, go back through and knot again. i think that i am going to bead throughout the veil rather than the edge, but that may change. anyway, thank you for posting and believe me, when all is done, i will post pix. fh has the digital camera and i am clueless!
