DIY//Sequin Bikini Top

Last year when working retail I fell in love with a bikini that was in our store. It was neon green with silver sequins...only one problem. Yup, the price for it was enough to shatter my hopes of ever buying it and I never did. I knew it would be simple enough to recreate and what do you know, it really is. If you follow me on instagram, you probably already know that I've working on getting fit and eating healthy. My mind is set to get myself into an itty bitty bikin without wearing a cover up. The next time I go to the beach I'll be wearing this one for sure.
 Supplies: Bikini Top, Sequin Trim, Glue Gun**
*I used a glue gun just for a quick makeover. If you decide to use one too I would hand wash and hang dry*
*Using fabric glue would be better. I've used it before and it holds up really well*
*And of course sewing the trim on with a needle & thread would be best*
1. Cut your sequin trim. 
I used one 5 inch strip, two 4 inch strips, and two 3 inch strips for each side.
2. Glue or sew on.
