If you think your cheap,...
I was at Wal-Mart and found black mesh in the fabric department. Two yards
cost me $1.14. I cut it in half, on the sewing machine I sewed a loop
across the top (curtain rod type) and sewed the two ends together. This
formed a tube with the loop on one end. I fed 12" of elastic cord through
the loop to hold it onto a straw hat. (also available at Wal-Mart) I ended
up cutting about half of the length off to come down to about my chest. I
usually bunch up the extra and shove it between the buttons on my shirt.
All told $1.14 bought me four veils.
I go cheap for myself, I make my kids and visitors wear the full battle
armor.
