Easy Vintage Zipper Flowers - Thanks for coming back for another dose of Coupon Magic! I was off digging at my favorite little resale shop here in Rochester when I pulled out a drawer that was labeled “zippers” and found an awesome treasure. Metal Tooth Zippers are are pretty hard to find already taken out of the garment but today was my lucky day! Who knows how many were there in every color and length. So, I scooped them up, and paid about $2.00 for the entire bundle! I headed home and dug through my sewing supplies to get a few things to create some adorable zipper flowers! Here is how you can make these frugal creations too.
Supplies Needed metal toothed zippers (the size of the flower depends on the length of the zipper), felt needle embroidery floss or thread scissors Vintage buttons (optional for center of flower) Zipper Flower Directions Cut out a small circle of felt (about the size of a silver dollar). Unzip the zipper, and cut off the plastic or metal end.
