    Looks great! I tried to DIY my own birdcage veil & it was a disaster, it came out all weird & wouldn't lay right at all :( But, yours looks great & very pretty!!!

    Annie:  Haha.  I'll be honest, I messed with it about 3x before it was perfect!!  It was too poofy in the beginning but after I tweaked it a little, it lay fine!

    Thanks ladies! 

    @ Coccinelle:  I'm too scared to sell on Etsy!!  Thats intimidating!!

    @Msmonicka:  My DIY buddy!!  I try to make you proud!

    If you sold on eBay, I'd buy one...you made it exactly how I'm envisioning mine, but I'm so not creative or crafty. Let me know if you change your mind :-)

    Thanks sleepkirsty!  I appreciate the complete, but I think I might have to hold on to this one!

    No, silly, I meant I'd pay you to make me one :-) Yours honestly is better than a lot of the ones I've seen on etsy and eBay.

    I ordered the netting for mine today. I'll post a pic for you when I complete it. Thanks for the tutorial and inspiration :-)
