Metal Zipper Jewelry




It all started while playing with some metal zipper that I removed from a garmetn because it didn't work properly.  I dislike throwing away anything that might have a use.  As I worked with a couple of ideas the jewelry pictured here evolved from just playing.  I have got a lot of positive comments and I have actually sold a piece.  Please consider giving something unique Made in the USA. Thanks!

Lorraine this is a great idea that I think you'll do good with. I've never seen anything like it and it's very attractive. I really think the young set will go for this. Lot's of luck with it.

Me:  So Drea what would you like to learn today? Drea:  I want to make a dress without a pattern.  I want to make it longer in the back and have two side "V" type slits with small straps that crisscross in the back.  Can we use the purple lace for straps and do some fun embellishing?
