DIY Sporty & Trendy Bikini Top

HERE WE GO!! This is pt.2 to revamping those old bikinis in your drawer. Yesterday, I showed you  how to make regular old bottoms into cute, dare I say sexy bikini bottoms (scrunchy butt bikini).   Today , I'll be showing you how to turn that triangle bikini top into something a bit more modern with a twist. If you're anything like me you want a new swimsuit for every occasion, well THIS is how you do it with out dropping those big bucks.


Supplies you'll need:
Triangle Bikini Top
Scissors
Thick Needle
Thick Thread

Here are the supplies I used, I really loved the way the dental floss held together. A word of caution if you use thread make sure its super super THICK!

 

 

First, cut the strings (ties) that go around your neck... both sides.

Next take that section where you cut off the straps and cut about a 1in- 2in slit in the middle. The longer you make the slit the easier it is to do the next next step... just don't go crazy. Repeat this step to the other side.

Join those two ends together. What used to be your neck tops are now going to be the center of your bikini top!                    (MIND BLOWN)

SO here is where the explaining gets tricky; interlock those slits. Join the two ends from the same piece, so it forms a circle (hole) , sew those two together knot and re thread if needed. Take the other pieces from the other side of the top and put in inside of the circle (hole) sew both of those ends together (think of a chain) make sure you knot. 

TA-DAAA! Now take a step back and admire your awesome NEW bikini top.

 If you still need some extra help making your top this video really helped (here) or ask me questions, leave a comment I would love to hear from you! Well I hope you are now on your way to sporting an old NEW bikini that YOU transformed. Congratulations!!
