Zipper Bracelets

I have 100's, and I really do mean 100's of zippers at my house. 

Back in the 60's  my great grandmother owned a 5 & 10 store in Indianapolis.  When she closed the store she packed all her inventory away in the chance she might reopen one day.  After she passed away, my grandmother had all this stuff moved to her attic.  After grandma passed away it all came to my dad and his sister.  No one had a use for allot of the stuff and me being the person I am, can't say know to a freebie when offered to me!  Which by the way, my husband really hates at times, but he is very good natured about it since he knows he can't when....lol

I was playing around with things the other day and this is what I hit upon. 

Sorry, I completely spaced taking pics of the process...I just glued ribbon to the cloth part of the zipper.  Added Velcro to fasten with and you have some cute kiddie bracelets. 

My grand babies love them. 

Working towards getting a flea market booth and trying  to stock up inventory on repurposed  items for it.  I will show more when that is ready. 

So what do you think about the bracelets?  Be honest....I can take it!

Have a great day!
