How you decide to wear your veil is limited only by your imagination, but here are
some ideas for the five designs demonstrated in this class. Watch the video lessons
for specific instructions, and make notes on this sheet to share with your hair stylist on
your big day.

LOOK 1: Fascinator Alone

To place, open alligator clip so you can anchor
the clip in hair by catching a portion of hair and
closing clip.

LOOK 2: Fascinator with French netting

veil over eyes, Blindfold style
Weave fascinators bottom clip into loops on one
side of the French netting. Secure the veil, with
fascinator attached, on the side of the head
just above the ear. The opposite side of the
French netting veil can then be anchored on the
opposite side of the head with bobby pins, using
the loops. Anchor the veil with loops under
a fold of hair to hide loops.

for a headband look. Its great for the reception.

fascinator attached, on the side of the head
just above the ear. The opposite side of the
French netting veil can then be anchored on the

LOOK 4: Fascinator with French netting

veil Blindfold style and illusion veil
Weave fascinators bottom clip into loops on one
side of the French netting. Secure the veil, with
fascinator attached, on the side of the head
just above the ear. The opposite side of the
French netting veil can then be anchored on the
opposite side of the head with bobby pins, using
the loops. Anchor the veil with loops under a fold
of hair to hide loops.
With the French netting veil over the eyes, you
can place an illusion veil of any length. Take
the illusion veil comb in hand, teeth down, with the gathered back-end of the comb
facing you. Then move the teeth up and back until the teeth are now facing towards
you, but hidden under the veil. You will place the veil comb in hair. You will not want
to see the comb; veil should cascade from comb like a waterfall. You now have the
combined look of the French netting, fascinator and illusion veil.
