After gathering the supplies, measure and cut the tulle fabric. Measure the circumference of the hat base and then cut the tulle fabric to be slightly larger than this measurement.
Pin the fabric to the hat base. Start by pinning the fabric at one side of the hat and then wrap it around the circumference of the hat. Secure all the pins along the edge of the hat base.
Trim the fabric to the desired shape. You can choose between a rounded or pointy shape.
Secure the edges of the fabric with fabric glue. Make sure to apply enough glue to ensure that the fabric is securely attached to the hat.
Cut a length of thin ribbon and attach it around the edge of the hat base with fabric glue. This will give the fascinator an elegant finishing touch.
Place the veil on top of the hat base and adjust it to your desired position. Secure it in place with more pins or fabric glue.
