Thread: Old Zippers

I've seen in magazine where people make flowers with zippers and felt..has anyone made these and are they hard to make?

Get ahold of Doty in NYC. I think her name on here is dotcomdtcm. She's made beautiful ones and she's a very helpful person.

They look really pretty in the magazines I've seen...I've been really intrigued by them...will do, thanks.

I did a search on Google for "zipper flowers".....found this video/tutorial....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WMz7j5eH8Q

there are some REALLY cute flowers out there!

Here's one I made...It was a little tedious because I used a nylon zipper. The metal ones are easier to manipulate!

Great link - thanks - that helps me see it - I'm a visual gal!

I think it looks doable to me. I'm gonna give it a shot today while I'm playing on the computer.

The red nylon one is adorable ditter...I've got metal and nylon zippers inmy stash, so I'll try both and see how they work.
