DIY HALTER BIKINI

DIY HALTER BIKINI

Summer is here and it's time to dig your swimsuit out of your closet! I'll be the first to admit that I had my swimsuit for a couple of years now and it is not holding up as well as I wanted. As a college student, I can't spend my money all willy nilly, but have no fear if you're like me a don't want to spend a considerable amount of money on a new swimsuit (because let's be honest, swimsuit aren't cheap and if you want a cute one, you better get reading to spend some money), I got you covered! In this DIY, I will show you how to transform bikini bottoms into halter bikini tops!

What you need:

• extra large bikini bottoms
• string
• fabric scissors
• needle and thread
• marker or chalk

How to make it:      

1. Cut the front off of the bikini bottoms, leaving the straps intact. The front of the bikini bottoms will become the back of the halter bikini and the back of the bikini bottoms will become the front.

2. Hem the part of the bikini bottom you cut off. Leave enough room so you can pull the sting through.

3. Cut a piece of string long enough to tie around your neck and pull the string through the hem.

4. Try on the top and see how much of the strap you need to cut of to fit your chest. Use the marker or chalk to make marks.

5. Remove the top and cut the excess strap and sew the strap back together.

6. Try the the bikini again and make any adjustments, but other than that you're done!

Now you can amaze your friends with your new and super cute bikini top!! I'm pretty sure they'll be as flabbergasted as my friends when I told them that I make the top on my own! c:
