Zipper Flair

So I know this tutorial has been done other places but this is how I did it!

Materials:

•  6"-7" zipper dependent on your wrist size 
• coordinating lobster clasp 
• candle 
• pliers 
• jump ring 
• scissors

  

 How-to:

1. Trim off all of the excess fabric form the sides of the zipper as close to the metal as possible
2. Holding the ends of the zipper, run the sides over the flame of a candle or a match to prevent fraying 
3. On the end opposite of the zipper, slide the jump ring through the opening ( usually the piece that is clamped over the teeth will have a space to hook the jump ring through, if not, you may have to punch the jump ring through the remaining fabric)
4. Attach a lobster clasp to the jump ring and viola! your done! If you want you can add a charm to the end of the zipper for some extra flair!
