This veiling hatband project by London milliner Elena Shvab is a creative way to make an everyday brimmed hat more elegant.

This simple solution for dressing up a hat or hiding the join between the brim and the crown works especially well for bridal hats and other high fashion occasion pieces.

You can use any type of netted veiling to create a hatband. For this tutorial, Elena chose a metallic veil to add shine and glamour to a simple felt hat. As an added bonus, this project is quick and easy. You should be able to get your hatband finished in less than hour!
