zipper bracelet

Bought myself a zipper
Cut off the black along the zipper

measured it around my wrist and cut (make sure to leave a little excess..you don't want it super tight.)
I added a little thing from another necklace...and I moved the zipper pull down to where it fit my wrist and cut off the excess
I took a match and burned (very carefully) the edges of the zipper to prevent any fraying.
Then I took some gorilla glue
I shot a dab of the super glue at the top...and right below the zipper to prevent it from coming off.

Then I added a clasp and then gave that a dob of super glue


If you didn't cut off the outside edges of the zipper..you would end up with more of a band....still cool...

okay...so my arm looks so gross....I have always thought my body was proportionate....(well not in the chest area---but that's a topic for another day) but for some reason...my hand looks enormous while my arm looks like skeleton. I am going to blame it on the angle of the camera okay? sounds good with you?


just another creation brought to you by

    Great way of handling the clasp - that was the hardest part to figure out when I made mine back at the beginning of the year.

    That looks great! I love zippers as accessories and jewelry and adding that little charm really helped to finish it. :)
