We have been going to the beach about every other day and I love it! I am so happy that I made this coverup. It is getting lots of use.
After seeing this pin everywhere on Pinterest I knew I wanted to make my own. The only problem was I couldn't fine a pin that was actually a link to the original site. So I just went ahead and made it up myself. Once I was done I went back and I did find that it is from Victoria's Secret on clearance for $39.99. But don't go buy it. All I needed to make it was one yard (36" x 55") of jersey knit material. With a coupon for Joann's I probably only spent about $7. Oh, and a hot glue gun. That's right you don't even need to sew!
4) Then I glued six inches of the braid onto the back side of the fabric. Make sure you glue the braid so the six inches are going down the short (26") side of fabric. I then looped the braid around and glued the loose end to the inside of first end of the braid. (Does that make sense?) It made a nice arm spot.
Repeat on the other end of the material. So if you lay out the fabric, and you do the arm on the backside of the top left corner do the other arm on the backside of the top right corner.
5) Now if it fits how you like you can be done here. For me the back of the cover up was hanging way to low on my body so I just bunched the fabric on the edge of the left side (make sure it is a part that the front of the coverup covers) and put a dot of glue to hold the bunch together. It should fit now!

I love the color that you chose. The braid is amazing and the back is gorgeous. I'm sharing on my facebook page. Thanks so much for sharing at Whimsy Wednesdays.
Love it. I made a no sew one earlier this year, but it wasn't as pretty as yours with the braiding.
Great color and looks wonderful on you.

Hello Hot Mama! You look amazing-- no one wants to see that much of my back lol :)
SO cute!! i love the braided part! and the color!
This is a great idea. I would not have thought of braiding the fabric.
That's one hot little cover-up! Fantastic colour too. I think I'm going to have to go looking for some knit fabric! ;)
This is so adorable! I love the color, thanks for the tutorial!
Is there a way to make this with a back? I absolutly love this but I can't ware it unless it has a back.

I am not sure how to add a back, but if you use less material, like maybe a yard and a half then it should rest higher on your back, and cover more. Let me know how it works if you try it.
Wat does it mean to cut 36" side down to 26"
The fabric I started out with was 36 inches by 55 inches. After trying it out I wanted mine a little smaller so I cut the rectangle to be 26 inches by 55 inches. I hope that helps!
It might help the explanation some if you also took photos of the whole item after completing each step. That way, we could get a better idea of what area you are working on. Consequently, it may make more sense to us of why you are doing what you are doing in that particular area. Thanks so much for the How to do!
