zipper clutch

so....zippers

so many colors.
Finally settled on these

take each zipper (22 inches long) and cut in half.

We are going to sew each zipper together





Then bent it in half



sewed it across. then sew the top and the bottom. You'll have to undo a zipper to turn it right side out.



took an orange zipper
and made a loop
had to slit the stitch to add my handle.
hot glued the orange pull int between the other pulls
took my leftover orange zipper and cut it off right by the teeth.
took a match and melt the edges to prevent any fraying.
glued them into little tear drop shapes and then hot glued them on the purse
the bottom orange is actually the part I cut off of the zipper to make the flower

the loop goes right around your wrist.
I actually glued the inside bottom two zippers just so the teeth wouldn't pop open...cause there would be no way of getting them back together.

both the blue and the green zippers undo
