May Flowers

Today in the mail I received from my mom an instruction sheet to make flowers using zippers! I could hardly wait to make one. I used old zippers from my stash and added my own twist to them (the leaves and the button in the center of the one). I was getting frustrated at first, but eventually got the hang of it. I put pin backs on them and am pretty tickled how they turned out!

  2. What a great idea! I see old zippers all the time in thrift stores - I even have a few in my stash. Can you post the instructions? Kelley, http://digitalscrapsetc.etsy.com

  3. Metal zippers are harder and harder to find, LOVE what you've done with them Trina. I can see where this could be contagious! I'll have to Google how to make zipper flowers ;)
