Lets wear the trash we find at the beach... Then we can't leave it there.
< Image 1 of 5 >
Completely 100% recycled!!! This forms perfectly around your breast, is very light, and comfortable.
For some reason all my steps are gone!! Ah! well i am going to re-upload them so if it isn't up yet, come back.
If you decide you want one, but don't want to go through the hassle of making it, let me know. I sell them and I will custom make one for you with your own size.

First thing you need to do is made a can tab triangle for each breast.
Simply weave plarn (or your choice of material) in and out of the tabs to hold them together.
(When I can find the picture for this i will re-upload it.)
Next get some fabric of choice and make a liner for your swim top. Sew 2 triangles and add straps (mine are braided).
Now take that same fabric and cut strips that will run the perimeter of the can tab triangles. Weave them in and out of the outside tabs to make a border.
You can then use this border to tie the can tab triangle to your liner triangle and strap.
Pull the straps through the can tab on the corner of the triangle and you are done.
Sorry about the lack of pictures. They were on here the first time, but now i must find them.

NO! Good Question. The tab is pure aluminum while the can has various metals that's why the tabs are collected for different charities and such (one reason). Aluminum corrodes but it does not rust. Rust refers only to iron and steel corrosion.
"Aluminum is actually very prone to corrosion. However, aluminum corrosion is aluminum oxide, a very hard material that actually protects the aluminum from further corrosion. Aluminum oxide corrosion also looks a lot more like aluminum, so it isn't as easy to notice as rusted iron."
I have never had any problems.

also, have you made a bottom to this? if so i would love to know how to do it, if not y so?
Yeesha
06 Nov 03:43
Thanks you guys!
acacia a.-> There are bottoms to these, and in a few different styles. I didn't put them in the same HOW-TO because the top is already complicated enough :). I most likely will put up some HOW-TO's for the different styles, but i need to get some pictures and stuff first. I will send you a message when they are up :)
You can always play around with your own bottoms that match and sew tabs in different places to make it more of your creation and design.
If anyone else wants a HOW-TO for the bottoms let me know and i will send you an update when i get the chance to get it up.
