This class is marketed to brides that want to incorporate DIY into their weddings, but SewCalGal also believes that the design and techniques learned in this class would apply to more than making a beautiful headband for a wedding. I see it adaptable for a beautiful Easter Hat, Opening Day at the Races, a special party, and even believe it is adaptable for seasonal themed hats. But, it definitely would make a beautiful wedding headband for any bride (or bridesmaid).
“I love a birdcage veil because it is more like a bridal hat than a veil, and the height and dramatic effect can be easily manipulated with a comb or headband,” said Megan Hunt. “Because they are a classic accessory, birdcage veils can create an elegant look, or they can be styled for a more offbeat, contemporary aesthetic. They can complement a traditional look as well as add some boldness to a modern gown. The birdcage veil headband project I am teaching in Rick Rack's latest online class is more of a fun and sassy accessory that you can make your own by integrating your favorite colors and ephemera.”
