Diy: Dye my veil with tea!

Jasmin, on August 23, 2019 at 1:41 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 2 21
Soooo I got my cathedral veil from amazon for $15! But it was way to white compare to my dress so I read that putting your veil in a tea solution will make it ivory which totally works!
I bought a box of black tea which is somewhere in my house! ( I couldn’t find it lol) good thing I had my green tea honey & chamomile which I used instead. I think if I used the black tea I would have only used 2 tea bags but with the green tea I had to used about 7 to get the dark color. The first time I tried it I only used 3 which did not work so I had to add more tea bags and had to leave my veil submerged for about 2 hours! I then rinsed it with water and let it dry!

The first picture is the comparison between the color of my dress and my veil. The second and third is my veil before I dyed it! And the last pic is how it turned out! So happy with the result!

    That looks so good! I thought about doing this also if I couldn't find a veil I loved that matched my dress (champagne color) but wasn't sure if it was actually possible. Yours turned out great!

    I'm so glad you dyed it! It always makes me cringe a bit when someone has an ivory dress and super white veil. I actually ordered mine a shade darker because they look so much lighter when you order the same shade.

    Thanks for sharing this. I ordered two cathedral veils from China, one $9 and one $13 and neither are ivory when they were supposed to be.
