Craft Lift - zipper bracelet
This was SO easy and quick to make. First cut off any material around the zipper. I've seen others burn the remaining off, but I left mine, and I'm glad I did. Not only does it add character (and color depending on what zipper you use) but it also was what I used to attach the clasp. Next cut it to the desired length you want, keeping in mind the zipper pull itself will be part of the length. At the end you cut carefully remove some of the teeth, exposing some of the material. I used super glue to then make the material all one "clump" which then goes in the attachment end of the lobster clasp, and I glued that for extra measure. The lobster clasp attaches to the zipper pull to close the bracelet. Add charms, and viola - a funky bracelet ;) *If you get the perfect length zipper and do not need to cut you can try drilling a small hole in the bottom part of the zipper to attach the clasp to*
