What a great way to use old broken zippers too :D

great recycling idea, love it

Etsy has a lot of good examples. also just google it. our you tube.

there is a tute on this forum too.

I think I saw these in the Clotilde catalog......don't recall if there was a how-to book.

How cute, never heard of these.

I'd never heard of them either, but they're very cute!

THANK YOU FOR THE WEBLINKS!

There is a tutorial in one of the quilt magazine from last month. Here is the exact info:

American Patchwork & quilting from Better Homes and Garden. Feb. 2011 Issue 108

Good luck and I hope that you will share your projects with us.

Now I'm in trouble...
Someone gave me a huge... huge bag of zippers a number of years ago. Being the pack rat that I am... I knew that someday I would discover a use for them.
Well, the day is here!!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!
Whoever thinks this stuff up... I'm glad they do!!!

I have a purse that has a big gold zipper flower on it. Love it.

Of course, this is AFTER I got rid of all my zippers. LOL

lucky you! want pic when your done

bookmarked :)

Go to Keepsake Quilting online. They have a pattern for them.
They are so cool and the latest thing!

CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!

Mary Lou Weidman had posted a brooch had received made from zippers. Really cute. http://marylouweidman.blogspot.com/2...ever-seen.html

There was a "Sewing with Nancy" show on the local learning channel that dealt with that. You can go online to her sight and find it.

Hi,
Watched Sewing with Nacy last week, she had Mary Mulari on and her book is called SStress Free Zipper Creations. Really clever.

Just a couple of weeks ago these were demoed on Sewing with Nancy. I am sure there was a book that can be ordered through her site.

What a fabulous way to use zippers - and I have a new (well 4 mos old) granddaughter

I have seen this on Nancy Ziemans site. The zippers are expensive.

i saw those a couple months ago there are many things you can make from the older metal zippers , google it and a lot come up

Way Cool! I have to make one of these. I love broaches and these look so nostalgic.

I think I saw a tutorial on Sewing with Nancy. Nancy Zieman and she and another lady have collaborated on books to use zippers in interesting ways. You probably have easier access to the shows than I. Here is the link to the books:

Try scrapbooking sites.

I was just looking at my Keepsake Quilting mag and there is a pattern for zipper flowers also you can buy colored zippers.

You gals are awesome! Thanks for all the info....

me too. I just had a garage sale in Sept. and of course all my old zippers were in it.......too bad for me.
