  Step 1

  Take your zipper and cut off some fabric on the sides, so only less than a centimeter remains.

• 

  Step 2

  Zip it up to about 1/4 of the length

• 

  Step 3

  Cut off the excess fabric off the end of the right side

• 

  Step 4

  Fold the left half exactly as shown in the picture

• 

  Step 5

  Fold the right half on top of the left and line it up

• 

  Step 6

  Sew in place

• 

  Step 7

  Unfold it, and it should look like this

• 

  Step 8

  Cut off the excess fabric on the left half

• 

  Step 9

  Fold it again and sew the front half to the back

• 

  Step 10

  Flip it over and trim off the excess fabric

• 

  Step 11

  Take your two jump rings and twist them open with your fingers. Set them aside. Take your needle and poke two holes in the top corners of your zipper heart. Make sure you poke the holes next to the metal part of the zipper. You might want to get a thicker needle to make the holes big enough

• 

  Step 12

  Take your jump rings and pull them through the holes you made, but don't close them yet

• 

  Step 13

  Take your necklace chain and fold it in half to find the middle

• 

  Step 14

  Use your scissors to cut it in half

• 

  Step 15

  Take then end links and pull them through the open jump rings. Close the jump rings.

  And voila! You have finished your zipper heart necklace!

See your local art supply recycling center or discount fabric store for cheap zippers. Note that nylon zippers tend not to be as dramatic as metal-toothed ones.

Might want to include length of the zipper but really a cute project. Plan on making some for my granddaughters!

Kitty & Laura R: Thanks so much! It means a lot(:

Karma: Any zipper will do actually; the longer it is the bigger it will be.
