Remember that sensational sequin top that needed a wee bit o’ love? Take a gander at what I created with the broken zipper:
Grab a busted zip & let’s get making my Zipperdeedooda! DIY Upcycled Zipper Accessories:
Carefully take the zipper apart.
Snag a necklace from your stash.
Deconstruct & reconstruct it into something you’d actually wear, leaving the middle open.
Ruffle/gather one of the zipper sides into a flower-ish shape, stitch together & add a bead to the center.
Sew the open ends of the necklace to the back of your zipper-flower.
And your pretty new neck-bling is complete!
Find an old earring back, grab some extra strength glue & stick on the zipper pull.
et voila! A completely adorable new earring!
Snag the remaining half of the zipper & create another fancy necklace or bracelet or hair clip or brooch!
The possibilities are endless!

What a awesome way to get rid of old stuff from broken jewellery.
Make your own and original jewellery that no one has!
I can use this for my workshops with the children as well. Thanx
Your very welcome! I’m sure kiddos would love to experiment & create some super imaginative pieces! =O)
I love your new zipper earrings.. they are so cute! Thanks for showing me how to make my own.
