[ATTACH=CONFIG]422216[/ATTACH]I put mine on the cheap metal shower rings from the $ store and hang them up. The one end of the shower ring is narrow enought to go through the hole on most zipper pulls.

I have hundreds. I put them in see-thru plastic shoe boxes. I take a 3X5 card and write the colors, lengths and unique info (like it's a separating zipper) and put the card inside the box on the end so I can read thru the box and see if what I want is in that one without opening it.

I was making a lot of bags. browsing on ebay one day (this was a couple years ago) I saw a listing for 500, separating jacket zippers, YKKs, from 12" to 32" for $40 INCLUDING POSTAGE!!! Since I figured I needed about 3 or 4, 500 seemed about right (which is why my house looks like it does)
