DIY- Scrunch bum bikini

 An easy DIY to jazz up your bikini and give a virtual butt lift to your booty!

What you will need: 

Bikini bottoms

Scissors

Needle

Thread (preferably a similar colour to your bikini) 

Pen 

Ruler 

Step one: Untie your bikini straps if they have them, or turn your bottoms inside out if not. 

Step two: If your bikini has a double layer on the bum, you will need to cut out the inner layer along the inside of the seam.

 Step three: Measure and draw a line down the centre of the bottoms, starting at the top and working your way down to the stitching.

Step four: Grab your needle. Thread it so it is doubled and tie a knot at the end. 

Step five: Start at the stitching at the bottom of the line you drew and sew two or three loops to secure the thread to the bottoms (We don't want it coming undone!)

 Step six: Sew a running stitch about 1cm apart along your line to the top of the bikini.

 Step seven: Begin to pull your thread at the top so that the bikini begins to scrunch!

**It's up to you how much you want to scrunch your bottoms, so try on your bikini and pull until the desired scrunch is achieved!**

 Step eight: Sew a few loops at the seam, similar to the ones you started with, at the top of the bikini to secure the bottoms in place.

 Step nine: Tie a knot or two to give extra security

 Step ten: Cut off an excess thread.

 Tie up your string at the side or turn your bikini the right way around and you are FINISHED!
