Question: What to do with my veil?

Can you suggest a use for a Holy Communion veil?

I recently found my own communion veil (cheapish "tiara" type headband, lace fall) and I have no hope nor expectation that this would be useful to anyone in my family, in a Catholic way. Can you suggest any uses that would be meaningful to those I'd pass this on to?

my grandmother used to turn old dresses into christmas ornaments by taking scraps and gluing them around some kind of hollow ball. i can't imagine it was plastic but it might have been.

Wedding day dress up for little ones? I was a sucker for a costume box as a kid.

Use the lace as part of a wedding garter for a future daughter or daughter-in-law?

Seconding dress-up. A bit of modification, and you have bride/princess/fairy type headgear. Turn it around, and you have the femme fatale face-lace veil from a film noir detective story.
