Zipper Rosette

 Zipper Rosettes - tres chic!  I have a ton of old zippers - lots of colors and lengths.  It's always an interesting challenge to give old things new life.

Here's what I did:

Cut zipper pull off and separate zipper into two parts

Thread needle with heavy weight thread.  Turn the zipper in on itself to form a circle and slip stitch in place.

Sew basting type stitches a couple of inches at a time.  Pull thread to create gathers; slip stitch in place.  Insert needle to front of zipper and continue basting.

Repeat above steps until rosette is the size required.

Combine different colored zippers for nosegay.

This was an easy project.  These rosettes can be attached to shoes, handbags, clothing or turned into jewelry.
