A quickie post to show you these little zipper brooches that I made about a week ago. My mother-in-law also gave me a bag of old zippers. As I sifted through them, I remembered seeing this video on MSL. So, I got out my glue gun and just started playing, twisting and twirly the zipper halves every which way to see what i could make. This is what I came up with.
The old, dusty and faded look of the zippers give them a kind of vintagey look, I think. I have no idea what I will do with all of them and have not yet sewn or glued on any brooch pins to the backs. I wish I had though, they are perfect for a quick fancying-up of a dress or bag.
wow, these are so cute!
Definitely a great idea. Love the top left one!
They are cool Regina, it’s amazing the possiblities that are out there if they only just occur to you 🙂
How pretty! You are very creative!
Wow, these are awesome! And what a great score – a whole bag of zippers!
Regina, UR super clever, beautifully talented, and so very kind. Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. I passed my boards with flying colors. Warmly, Gina Kim R.N. 🙂 p.s. my favorite would be the dark navy one, bottom right.
Very cute!! I think the bottom right is my favorite. Would have never even thought to do this myself. :0)
so awesome and original!!
I love them…..Can I buy one and wear it to work on my uniform Sue
Those are soooo cute.
And to think I almost threw the whole bag out.
These are so great! I have a whole bag of old zippers from my SIL’s MIL (yeah – roundabout inheritance) – I think some might find some new life. And I LOVE how you display them to photograph. Lovely!
Wow! How awesome and lovely!
I seen small bags made out of
zippers b/4 too.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
Those are so cute! They would be perfect on a purse!
wow, I must say that is a good idea. would not mind parading around town with such a brooch:)
Never thought you could use zippers in themselves to anything, but I see than I stand corrected.
I’ve seen these and love them! Love your unique twist on the design. My mom recently asked if I wanted a bag of old metal zippers. Of course I said, “YES!” Now I just have to decide which color to use first!
These are soooo cute! I love them all. The one in the middle red/white kinda looks like a bird looking at you. LOL Great look!!

Hey there! I was in Target the other day and say a shirt with zipper roses…did they rip off your design or what? I think you deserve the credit here, not Liz Lange.
