Rhinestone Starfish Top

Two gem-encrusted starfish glitter with rows of silver rhinestones and pearls, each arm shaped and notched so the felt hugs your curves like armor made of treasure. Charity Grace builds the structure entirely with hot glue and jump rings — no sewing machine needed — then strings pearl-dotted wire straps between the starfish points. A showstopper beach or mermaid cosplay piece that looks far more complicated than it actually is.
