How to Sew Beads on Wedding Veils
Some brides add their own special touch to their wedding veils by adorning them with beads. Adding decorative beads on a veil is inexpensive and it is something that you can easily do yourself. It is as easy as sewing a button on a shirt.
How to Sew Beads on Wedding Veils
- Spread out the veil on a clean flat surface.
- Take a handful of different size beads and sprinkle them randomly on the veil.
- Thread a small needle with some polyester thread and tie it at the end with an overhand knot.
- Sew the beads on the veil by bringing up the needle from underneath the veil and inserting it into one of the beads.
- Push the needle back through the veil, which will take it back to the underside.
- Tie the thread in a double overhand knot directly underneath the bead on the underside of the veil.
- Apply a small dab of Fray Check on top of the top to hold it in place and allow it to dry completely. This can be purchased at most arts and crafts or fabric stores. Do not use more than a dab because too much could cause damage to the veil.
- Use scissors to snip the end of the thread. It should be cut as close to the knot as you can get.
- Repeat steps 3 through 8 to attach the remainder of the beads to the veil. The thread should be clipped after attaching each bead. You will also need to re-knot the thread each time.
