-
You will need one or two zip tabs for this project. You could buy zips new and take the tabs off or use tabs from old or broken zips.
-
Sand down the bottom side of the zip tabs. This will remove the shininess and make it easier to glue.
-
Super glue stud earring bases to the zip tabs and leave to dry.
