Tutorial: How to make a zipper flower

you will need:

zipper
needle
thread
felt

Much easier than you'd think it would be. You're basically making a bunch of loops from the zipper and then anchoring it to a base of fabric or felt.

No sewing skills are required, a good eye and a creative flare.

could you use a glue gun instead of thread&needle?

[Evange]

@765Rockstar theoretically, yes, but it would be prone to coming undone/falling apart, and after so many petals, I think the glue would become very thick. Why dont you try it and let me know if it works!

Are folding over the zipper on the bottom too. I mean are criss crossing it like a breast cancer ribbon or are you keeping the bottom parallel.

[Evange]

@bestauntie37 Yeah, I'm criss-crossing it.
