DIY Transform Your Old Bathing Suit

Summer is just around the corner and DIY swimsuits proposals are a must! Transform and rebuild your old swimsuits and choose between these two DIY tutorial proposals: trikini and asymmetrical swimsuits.

DIY Cut-out trikini

Transform your old boring swimsuit to a cut out trikini.

Materials:

Bathing suit
Scissors
Fabric chalk
Needle and thread
Key chain ring

Process:

1. Pull the bathing suit over a box or a chair to stretch it out. Mark with the chalk were you want to cut out at the waist leaving a piece in the front center of 10cm wide. Cut as clean as you can were you marked with the chalk.

2. Pull and pass the lower part of the bathing suit through the key chain and sew near the key chain so it wont move.

3. Do the same step with the top part of the bathing suit joining the whole bathing suit.

And the trikini it’s done! Just accessorize it with a chunky gold or silver necklace to complete a super cool beach lounge or pool look for this summer!!

DIY Woven asymmetrical bathing suit

Transform your old boring bathing suit to an asymmetrical woven bathing suit in less than 30 minutes!

Materials:

Bathing suit
Scissors
Fabric chalk
Needle and thread

Process:

1.Pull the bathing suit over a box or a chair to stretch it out. Mark with the chalk were you want to cut over one of the straps. And cut the strap of. Then fold less than one centimeter of the fabric in and sew with loose stich or zig-zag stich. Do the same step at the back cutting off the same strap that you cutted at the front.

2. Mark with the chalk from the strap to the back a nice curved line. Use this line as a guide and make small cuts of 4-5cm on all the line leaving a space of 2cm between each cut.

3. Now you can start weaving: start pulling over the fist cutted strap over the second and taking the second strap under and over the first one, pulling the straps down. (continue this process until the end).

And it’s done!!! Ready to take a swim?!
