Thank you for verbally describing the entire sequence of repairing steps! I am blind and found many videos just running music and providing no comments. Your comments were so precise that I could fix my daughter's school bag! For that small fix, I would have needed to book a cab to the tailor too. So that was big time money saver, that too in quick time!

But you’re still cutting. Try just shoving it back in there first. If that doesn’t work you can open up the slider until it fits and and then squeeze it with pliers to tighten it back up. No cutting required.
I got a little tilted and bent the metal thing sideway while listening to this tutorial. Then I followed the instruction and now I have bag backpack duffel that can pop zippers. My alligator player is now this bag property and I’ll have to watch the hole closely 🎉❤
THANK YOU. My backpack (which has been slowly dying) finally broke the zipper on both sides this morning on the way in to work on the bus. I don't have a sewing kit but I did have scissors, so after frantically googling I found this video and was able to save my backpack, at least until I can get a new one in a few days when I have a day off. Lifesaver.
You’re a life saver, I just woke up at 5am for a long train trip went to zip up my bag and it BROKE. My half asleep self frantically googled how to fix a broken zipper and this came up, I magically fixed it and ran to my train and made it by seconds. THANK YOU !!!!!👏🙌🙌🎉
This has got to be the *SINGLE MOST HELPFUL* video I've ever seen on UA-cam. I have a favorite, one-of-a-kind backpack that I thought I had to retire, but now, I got a "NEW" ONE!!!
Great video. I just used a safety pin to stop the zip from going past the cut and coming off the runner again though. I remembered my aunt always putting a safety pin through her jeans zippers when they wore out to stop them from coming undone. Love these old school fixes from the days when people couldn't afford to throw away their clothes when they started to wear out. This wisdom needs to be handed down to the new generation ASAP. Too much throwing away and not enough repairing going on these days.
Wow thank you! This is so easy to understand. I got a pair of jeans for 10 bucks but the zipper broke in the wash. I took them to my local alteration place and they wanted to charge me $30 bucks to fix the zipper!!!! I was like I could just buy a new pair of jeans for that! Not to mention it would take them 2 weeks to be done. This is a life saver thank you 😊
I got this supposedly "high-quality" Thinkpad bookbag from Lenovo to go with my laptop of the same make.. Then the zippers get off track 🙃 been that way for at least 6 months.. Until I watched this masterpiece!! Thank you a TRILLION!!!! 💪🏾
I was skeptical at first, but this was a truly easy and practical method! A tip I'd like to share: I used embroidery thread for the zipper stop. It saved me a little bit on sewing time and I like to think it gives a more secure hold. Thank you for this tutorial that saved my favorite work slacks!
Mind blown how easy that is. Especially I’ve been on earth 50 years and didn’t know why some zippers don’t mate the 2 sides until this brilliant woman explained it!! Made my day
You literally just saved me 600 bucks, the zipper on my warming layers I wear for diving came undone. Got quoted 200 bucks for a zipper replacement because it’s a 40 in zipper. Thought I’d try to fix it using the power of UA-cam and holy crap it worked. YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER
Thank you!! A zipper of one of my couch cushions decided that it was no longer my friend and your video helped me force it back into its one-sided relationship with my rear end. Love you!
Before you start cutting: try just shoving it back in first. If it got out it can get back in. If it doesn’t fit, pry the slider a little to widen it, put it back in, then squeeze it gently with pliers to tighten it up. No cutting required.
Yes, if you're careful you can definitely try that route! The less you pry on the zipper though, the less weak it'll get. Thanks for sharing your method.
I've done this pry-apart method many times successfully. She's right that it can weaken it, but like you said, the slider can be widened "a little" with no issues. After having this happen on several suitcases, book bags, backpacks and coats, I went around and squeezed the sliders closer together on every zipper in the house, and haven't had it happen since.
This totally worked! Thought I would have to fully replace the zipper on my favourite skirt but with your tutorial I fixed it so quickly. Thank you for this!
First time I ever pulled up a zipper video and your video just save me $150 from buying another luggage because the zipper was broken. Thank you for putting that video together! You’re the best!
Thank you! This was incredibly helpful! I ended up prying the zipper apart, putting it on the track, and clamping it back down. That way I didn't have to bother with cutting & sewing. I hope this helps someone!
Thank you very much I searched all over the web for. Fix, as my 90$ dog bed cover zipper popped off,and every single major channel with 100 of thousands of subs only gave ideas to replace or install zippers on new items..your fix was spot on..thank you very much..your the boss !!! :)
You’re a genius. It worked perfectly on my sons book bag until I zipped it around to the other side and found 2 inches of track pulled away from the other side. But your fix would have been perfect.
You just saved Halloween and my sanity!!! Thank you so much!! Our 11y/o was devastated that his inflatable tree costumes zipper broke during his school parade. He didn’t even get to go trick or treating yet 💜💜
Tysm!! i finally fixed the zip on one of my favorite plaid skirts!! last time this happened to one of my other shirts I had to tear out the zipper and sew in a whole new one, which was such a pain. I really appreciate the help :)
This is the way. Thank you. Had a suitcase liner zipper come off track. The tip about the zipper needing compressed with pliers was what I needed. 1:12
I'm just a guy with a camera backpack that carries a lot of expensive equipment. Zipper came off the track this past weekend and I was really bummed (that equipment falling out would not have ended well). This absolutely saved me and couldn't be easier - THANK YOU!
Thank you, this worked on a favorite pair of pants used for work. I had first tried to get the zipper back onto the track without making the snip. That didn’t work because of too much fabric and too tight of an area to work with. However, I used your snip method and after a few slow retries, the zipper was aligned and working again. I pulled the newly reconnected zipper to the top and made a several new stitches to create a new bottom zipper stop. I would recommend making several stitches below the new stop so the zipper track doesn’t pull apart below the new stop (added insurance). For me, your instructions were better than other videos which used pliers to slightly open the zipper pull - which risks the entire zipper pull snapping and breaking. Nice job with clear verbal and visual instructions. Happy to report that these pants are back into the wearing rotation once again thanks to you.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I have a bag that I really like and I haven't been able to use it in a long time because the zipper broke. You helped me save it. 🙏🙏
0:55 Struggled a few times with the snip. Has to be a clean cut deeper to the side. Really helps and does the job. Now I've to sew back those failed snips. Thanks 👍
Thank you! My backpack zipper broke on a camping trip, and this worked like a charm! Something to note, too, is that I was able to use my scissors as make-shift pliers for bending the zipper back into shape.
Omg! This worked perfectly on my backpack. In fact, the harder part for me was cutting those little prongs - my scissors is trash. Now all I can think of was my old favorite gym bag that I could've salvaged had I found this video...
thanks for the video, the part at 1:41 made me think i could wedge the opening and make it a bit bigger, zipper in place and then you clamp it back on again, no cutting required
Fantastic...I never knew how to repair this b4...thrown away many broken zippered items ...$60 dollar dog bed won't be 1...try this immediately...thanks 4 information delivered quickly ...clean instructions and quality audio ...well done
As soon as I saw you make that cut, I could see where you were going and fixed my daughter's school trackpants as the video played. Such an obvious fix once you see it! Thank you.
Amazing! With your help, I just fixed a weak closing zipper on my $450 Ghurka leather travel toiletry bag. It's been partial-zipping for several years, and a compact pair of mini pliers fixed it like new! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
Your video is amazing! I just fixed my wife's bag with your instructions. Tomorrow is her flight and a brand new bag zipper failed. Thank you very much! Appreciate it! God bless you all! 🙏🏻
Oh my goodness! This is genius! I feel like it was right in front of my face the whole time and yet I was never going to think of it (for both the cut and the thread-stop). I’m just so used to having to have that original slide part of the track to start a zipper (like on jeans), that I never thought of starting it without the slide. Saved me from having to replace a giant suitcase just because of the flipping zipper! Thank you so much!!
This is the first video popped up when I search for how to fix on Google, and it’s extremely useful and easy to follow! I have a Lenovo laptop backpack that I really like but had suffered from this problem. I’m moving out and was planning to throw it away because of that single tiny flaw but then I was like, why not search for a fix. Thank you so much! You made my day!
YOURE A LIFESAVER!!! i wanted to fix up my ancient beat up elementary school backpack just out of spite and this worked really well!!! i’m usually horrible at instructions but this was so easy!!
This is such a perfect guide! I really thought it was much more complicated, but it addressed my exact issue on a waterproof tool bag I really didn’t want to replace. Thank you!
Thank you for taking your time to help people with such little but important things!!! I have school tomorrow and both of my school bags zippers derailed due to a wrong zipper tooth thingy. I got the two zippers back on track and can close my school bag now. It’s late and I am lucky to have stumbled upon your video. Thanks again 😄
OMG MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH. I broke the zipper on my laptop bag that I carried a lot of things in and I really needed a solution to fix it. These are really great steps and I cannot thank you enough. :D
Absolutely genius !!! Thank you for presenting this video!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I have my backpack for years from when when boys were small ; I saved the bag cause it’s very functional and I just need a way to thread back one side of zipper onto its track . One day this backpack is for my grandchild for his school trip. The base of bag is thermal hard sides to store his snacks, juice packs . I couldn’t find a replacement bag so I kept it for like 20 years …and now I can make it useful again ….thanks to you ! Have a great Christmas season !
Thanks very much! I fixed my favorite jean jumpsuit! I tried shoving it back in there and loosening it with pliers. The only thing that worked was following your step by step guide! ❤ Thanks again!
This was a really wonderful video. It really did help me fix my bag. Thank you so much. I do have modification to your idea. 1) Instead of cutting the track use flat nose pliers and actually make the existing zipper hole slightly bigger to allow you to put the zipper back in the track. 2) Once you have successfully put the zipper back on track use the normal pliers to apply pressure to close down on the zipper hole you made bigger. You did it in your video at the part where the zipper was not closing but was on the track. I hope this can help people.🙂
Great video. I've been using the same osprey bag for nearly 13 years now and was gutted when the zip went. Thanks for saving me money and my favourite bag.
Had to comment on this to say thank you! The zipper got caught on my favorite bag and the thought of buying a new one, especially since the company no longer sells the color I own, was making me upset. Thank you for this helpful tip.
Thank you, Was having trouble with a bag and your idea with squeezing the back of the zipper with plyers worked like a champ. Now i do not need to replace the whole thing , THANK YOU
This is such a cool tutorial, I broke the zip on one of my favourite dresses and havent gotten it fixed for months, thinking that it would be too complicated or expensive. I finally got the courage to look it up online, and after some digging I found your video and the trick worked so well and so quickly. Thanks so much for this new tip that ill surely find useful in the future. (:
Pls respond to my comment! I cannot figure one step out. After u cut it u thread the zipper back together? How do u do that? Ur hands were converting it so I couldn’t see and I’m really confused.
Omg I just did this with a purse that the zipper came off the track about two weeks ago I thought it was ruined!!! It’s a cute little black fur purse that I loved!!! I did exactly what you said and it worked perfectly!!!!Thank you💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
Excellent tutorial. My daughter was so upset that the zipper broke on her backpack and she'd have to use one of her brother's ugly clear ones. (Mesh or clear per school rules.) I told her to use safety pins but she was mortified. I found your video and had it fixed in just a few minutes. Thank you.
OMG 😍 I had just bought this cute Sanrio Kuromi back pack purse, and the zipper came off the track. I was so sad, but after watching this video, I don't have to re-order a new one. I just fixed up the one I had. Thank you for making this video❤
I can't believe how easy that was. I didn't have a needle and thread handy so used a safety pin for the final step. Now I don't have to replace my beloved bag. Thank you!
Had my duffel all packed for a trip and boom there goes the zipper.. Didn't want to transfer it all to a suitcase that takes up more room in the car so this was perfect.. You actually don't even need to do the backstop thing if you remember to not unzip all the way.. Great video!
Holy shii this actually worked, I was about to lose my mind cuz my school bag, the zipper broke and it was my only bag but when I saw this it got fixed, ur such a legend, thank u!
this video is such a lifesaver, i just thrifted a vintage jansport backpack and was upset to find out a zipper was broken! this helped me fix it though thank u so much!!
Truly amazing!! Thanks for the "plier fix" in addition to the separated zipper fix!! I can now pull out some beloved items from the can't use but too sentimental to throw out pile and start using them again. Thank you so much!!!
This video made me realize that if the material that the zipper is on is flexible enough, you can bend the "fabric" (for lack of a more specific term) to get the zipper prongs to re-align!! It took me around 3 minutes after thinking of this to do it too! 6/5 would get inspired again
Son had broken the very long zip on back of a sofa cushion. Expensive!!! I cut a zipper head off another same size zip and followed instructions.....it worked!! Made sure I securely anchored zip about 1 1/2 inches from cut section. Am now waiting for big hug and bunch of flowers......
Thank You for helping me out.My daughter was in tears that her swimsuit was ruined.Also fixed my son's school backpack.Thank you once again.

Oh no, that's a bummer. I'm glad you were able to fix it.
What I realized is you don’t even need to cut it! Just grab it with pliers and open up the zipper then attach on to the track then clamp it down!
Won't work on plastic zippers tho
Misunderstood and broke the zipper entirely HAHAHAHA
Images or it didn’t happen 😂
Yeah that thought crossed my mind as well. It worked but I think if I did that a couple more times the clasp might break.
Open the zipper and break it. Thanks. Oh wait !

This is such a perfect guide! I really thought it was much more complicated, but it addressed my exact issue on a waterproof tool bag I really didn’t want to replace. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Thank you for taking your time to help people with such little but important things!!!
I have school tomorrow and both of my school bags zippers derailed due to a wrong zipper tooth thingy. I got the two zippers back on track and can close my school bag now. It’s late and I am lucky to have stumbled upon your video.
Thanks again 😄
Great job troubleshooting your zipper. Have a great day!
OMG MY GOODNESS THANK YOU SO MUCH. I broke the zipper on my laptop bag that I carried a lot of things in and I really needed a solution to fix it. These are really great steps and I cannot thank you enough. :D
I'm so glad!
Absolutely genius !!! Thank you for presenting this video!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I have my backpack for years from when when boys were small ; I saved the bag cause it’s very functional and I just need a way to thread back one side of zipper onto its track . One day this backpack is for my grandchild for his school trip. The base of bag is thermal hard sides to store his snacks, juice packs . I couldn’t find a replacement bag so I kept it for like 20 years …and now I can make it useful again ….thanks to you !
Have a great Christmas season !
Wow, sounds like quite the bag. I'm happy to hear you were able to save it. Happy holidays!
I can't thank you enough ❤❤❤❤ I had this problem for more than three months, and I just watched your video and did it myself. I love you 😍
Great to hear!
Thanks so much the first method worked , cut the end of the zipper . Saved my life as I have school in a few hours 😅
Awesome. Have a great day!
Thanks very much! I fixed my favorite jean jumpsuit! I tried shoving it back in there and loosening it with pliers. The only thing that worked was following your step by step guide! ❤ Thanks again!
Glad it helped!
This was a really wonderful video. It really did help me fix my bag. Thank you so much.
I do have modification to your idea.
1) Instead of cutting the track use flat nose pliers and actually make the existing zipper hole slightly bigger to allow you to put the zipper back in the track.
2) Once you have successfully put the zipper back on track use the normal pliers to apply pressure to close down on the zipper hole you made bigger. You did it in your video at the part where the zipper was not closing but was on the track.
I hope this can help people.🙂
Thanks for sharing your idea!
Great video. I've been using the same osprey bag for nearly 13 years now and was gutted when the zip went. Thanks for saving me money and my favourite bag.
That's what we like to hear. Glad we could help save your favorite bag.
Thanks so much! It worked, in under a minute, and even for a guy with zero know-how like me! Very much appreciated.
Great to hear!
Excellent video, had a tailbag for my motorcycle and did not want to throw it away and waste $$. Your vid saved me. Thank you
Great to hear!
Had to comment on this to say thank you! The zipper got caught on my favorite bag and the thought of buying a new one, especially since the company no longer sells the color I own, was making me upset. Thank you for this helpful tip.
You are so welcome!
Very helpful I was headed out to work and my zipper came off the track on my dress. Literally fixed it in five minutes watching your video. 👏🏽💕
Fantastic!
Thank you, Was having trouble with a bag and your idea with squeezing the back of the zipper with plyers worked like a champ. Now i do not need to replace the whole thing , THANK YOU
Awesome - have a great day
This is such a cool tutorial, I broke the zip on one of my favourite dresses and havent gotten it fixed for months, thinking that it would be too complicated or expensive. I finally got the courage to look it up online, and after some digging I found your video and the trick worked so well and so quickly. Thanks so much for this new tip that ill surely find useful in the future. (:
Wonderful, enjoy your dress again
Pls respond to my comment! I cannot figure one step out. After u cut it u thread the zipper back together? How do u do that? Ur hands were converting it so I couldn’t see and I’m really confused.
Pretend you're zipping a jacket. The zipper is threaded on 1 side. Thread the zipper into the other side.
Omg I just did this with a purse that the zipper came off the track about two weeks ago I thought it was ruined!!! It’s a cute little black fur purse that I loved!!! I did exactly what you said and it worked perfectly!!!!Thank you💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿
I'm so glad you were able to fix your purse!
Bo my favorite pair of shorts have been in a drawer for 6 months, This video fixed them in 30 seconds literally, WTH , Appreciate ya ma'am
Cheers to a second life
Excellent tutorial. My daughter was so upset that the zipper broke on her backpack and she'd have to use one of her brother's ugly clear ones. (Mesh or clear per school rules.) I told her to use safety pins but she was mortified. I found your video and had it fixed in just a few minutes. Thank you.
Nicely done!
Thank you so much. Fixed my zipper for my daughters backpack. You are a life saver.
Well done!
OMG 😍 I had just bought this cute Sanrio Kuromi back pack purse, and the zipper came off the track. I was so sad, but after watching this video, I don't have to re-order a new one. I just fixed up the one I had. Thank you for making this video❤
Oh no! Great job fixing your new purse pack
Thank you so much! This was extremely helpful! My suitcase zipper broke and I was able to fix it with ease after watching your video!
You're welcome! Safe travels
Followed the instructions step by step and now I have a fixed zipper. Thank you!
Great job!
I can't believe how easy that was. I didn't have a needle and thread handy so used a safety pin for the final step. Now I don't have to replace my beloved bag. Thank you!
Nice improvise with the safety pin. Have a great one!
Had my duffel all packed for a trip and boom there goes the zipper.. Didn't want to transfer it all to a suitcase that takes up more room in the car so this was perfect.. You actually don't even need to do the backstop thing if you remember to not unzip all the way..
Great video!
Safe travels :)
Holy shii this actually worked, I was about to lose my mind cuz my school bag, the zipper broke and it was my only bag but when I saw this it got fixed, ur such a legend, thank u!
Glad I could help!
Omg thank you so much!! You saved a suitcase I only used twice… I wasn’t ready to let go.
You're welcome!!
this video is such a lifesaver, i just thrifted a vintage jansport backpack and was upset to find out a zipper was broken! this helped me fix it though thank u so much!!
Glad I could help!
Truly amazing!! Thanks for the "plier fix" in addition to the separated zipper fix!! I can now pull out some beloved items from the can't use but too sentimental to throw out pile and start using them again. Thank you so much!!!
That's awesome. Have a great day!
Thank you. This was perfect fix, unlike some of the other videos I seen. Viewing in 2024.
Glad you finally found out video and finally found a solution that would work for you.
You literally just saved me from a costume malfunction meltdown. THANK YOU!!
*wipes brow* Huzzah!
Genius! I fixed a zipper on a duffel bag based on her instructions!!! Thank you!!!
Wonderful!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHH!!! My bag had broken off while in school and the “jacket method” really saved me!
although it’s temporary, I’m just grateful it’ll get me through the day!!
This video made me realize that if the material that the zipper is on is flexible enough, you can bend the "fabric" (for lack of a more specific term) to get the zipper prongs to re-align!!
It took me around 3 minutes after thinking of this to do it too!
6/5 would get inspired again
Wonderful, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, we're on a busy day of our honeymoon and our biggest bag's zipper broke. We fixed it in five minutes thanks to your video!
Nice! And congrats - enjoy your honeymoon
Son had broken the very long zip on back of a sofa cushion. Expensive!!! I cut a zipper head off another same size zip and followed instructions.....it worked!! Made sure I securely anchored zip about 1 1/2 inches from cut section. Am now waiting for big hug and bunch of flowers......
Nicely done!
😍OMG!! It worked ! A little squeeze with the pliers!! I got my favorite purse fixed!!! Thank you soooo much!!
Wonderful!
