If you're feeling adventurous, snip away at areas like the sides or back to add a touch of risqué flair. Alternatively, go for a subtle yet chic look by trimming it into a high-leg cut that's very on-trend. Remember to hem your cuts if possible, to prevent fraying. Pair your revamped swimsuit with a bold sarong or high-waisted shorts, and you’ll be beach-ready in your stylish one-of-a-kind creation. Just be sure to cut conservatively at first—you can always trim more, but you can't put fabric back on!
4. Bedazzle It
There’s not much that sparkles can’t fix. Whether you want to encrust your bathing suit with gems or just glitter, a little sparkle can go a long way.

It’s also so easy to add fringe, that you’ll never be tempted to waste the money on a new fringe bathing suit again!
