Up-cycled swimsuit

I purchased a really cute swimsuit before Brandon and I went to the Caribbean a few years ago and was so disappointed by the design and fit of the triangle top. I only wore it twice over the past three years. I knew what I didn't like about it and I thought I could fix it up and I DID!
The turquoise was attached by clear plastic thread.  The bead was too long for the top and made the two pieces very spread apart, which made the coverage terrible. I was always looking down to make sure I didn't pop out.
I had some earrings that I had only worn a few times and a really cute bracelet with charms that matched the same metallic from the clasps on the bikini top.




I used the hook off of the earring to secure the two triangles together.
I took this charm off the bracelet and attached it to the clasp. I love the way it turned out and am finally able to wear it!
