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.
