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.
