Have you ever had a zipper pull come off, or you found a cute sweater at a thrift store, but it had no zipper pull? That was the case with this little, black, fleece Old Navy sweatshirt I found for Peyton at a local thrift store. It looked so warm and cozy and it was only $2.99, so I had to get it! But when I got up to the register to pay for it, the checker noticed it was missing it's zipper pull, which if you have ever experienced this, makes it quite the chore to zip and unzip the zipper (a bit redundant, lol). She suggested that I just make one and it would probably be an easy fix! Well, I accepted the challenge and went home, grabbed a few tools and beads, and in (no joke) 5 minutes, Peyton's '
New' sweatshirt was fixed,
bedazzled and ready to wear!
Here's the Old Navy black fleece sweatshirt $2.99
(Missing the zipper pull)
Here's the solution in a few simple steps and five minutes time:
Thread Sterling Silver wire through the opening in the zipper and wrap it around the long end of the wire about 8 times to secure
Add a few beads. In this case I added two silver seed beads and a fake pearl bead.
At the end to finish it, add a small charm of your choosing. I loved this simple brushed metal '
dream' charm and thought it would make the perfect zipper pull!
