Tips on Monday Bra Decorating
- Try to find a bra that fits you well, do not get an ill fitting bra in attempts to make cleavage or enhance cleavage.
- Do not...I repeat Do Not glue on anything to the band. If you glue on anything to the band, it will not be able to stretch and thus your bra will probably not make it around your back. If it does, your design will be stretched out and crackled.
- You don't have to look for a bra in your section colour, all you need is a needle, some thread a glue gun and fabric or stretch sequin bands in your section colour.

Step 2 - Covering the side of the cup to the band, wrap at edge of cup/beginning of band and fold edges over cup and stitch
Step 3 - Using a hot glue gun, stick the other pieces of sequin band diagonally onto the cup
Step 4 - Cut the strap but remember to stitch it back when finished covering the cup
Tut no 2 Fabric Covered
Step 1- Place bra ontop of fabric and cut around it leaving an extra inch of space
Step 2- Using needle and thread or a glue gun, cover the bra and pull tightly to ensure no slack spaces! Stitch or glue the edges onto the back of the cup
Step 3 : Some fabrics such as brocade and sequin tend to be rough on skin, thus some satin ribbon should be glued on the back of the cup to cover the fabric
Step 4 : Cut out fabric 1 inch larger than band and repeat the steps taken with the bra cups!
