     Hi all, thank you all for your comments. It's 7" x 2.5". I actually made it by myself, so I am not so sure whether it looks good or bad... 

    I bought the lace from the ebay and sewed the beads on. The original lace is as picture below.

     

    I'm not so sure whether I'll wear it or not. But if I will, I'll probably wear it like one of the following pictures. (FYI: I have dark brown hairs.)

    @alheur:  Thank you for your kind words. It's actually not difficult to make one if you know how to sew a button on a piece of cloth. I highly encourage you to make one for yourself. You can easily find all of the materials online!

    I made this because I saw a small piece of lace with a few beads on it costs $450 (pre-tax) in a bridal accessories store, so I tried to make one as well. The materials are very cheap, but it's very time-consuming... (It's good for someone who needs sort of art therapy to reduce stress.)

    @lanipapillon:  Hi, I didn't keep working on it, so it's hard to say how much time it took. I made this when I was watching TV. Originally, I didn't plan to sew so many beads on it, but I guess I might watch too much TV...

    I like the second picture that you posted of hairstyles more than the first - but would your piece be too big to do that?

    You did a GREAT job sewing those beads on!

    I love it! I've done nearly exactly the same but have used swarovski crystals instead. I think they look amazing! Have you attached a comb to the back or are you planning on having it hair-gripped on? I lovelovelove yours (and mine!) but am unsure as to how to wear it! Im thinking now like your pic two, as I am havign a cathedral mantilla veil for the ceremony (makign this at present)

     

    I love it! it looks AMAZE!

    @Ringer101:  Yeah, this is awesome. I will be making a birdcage veil with something like this on the base! You could sell these for a good chunk of change!
