Don't be scared of using metal zippers in your sewing projects!

In this video I show you the difference between one way and two way metal zipper tape, how to cut them down to the perfect size for your project, and adding the hardware.
To get started, you'll need zipper by the yard and #5 metal pulls, I prefer the 2 way zipper tape and pulls from Ningbags.com found here: www.ningbags.c...
The pink one way zipper tape in this video is from Bringberry Handbag Hardware and Design found here: bringberry.com...
Zipper nippers: www.amazon.com...
Zipper bottom stops: www.wawak.com/...
Zipper top stops:www.wawak.com/...
And a pair of pliers and a hammer.
Clutch pattern shown in the video is coming soon!

Can you give anymore info on the zipper nippers that you used? Brand? Or? Unfortunately, zipper nipper in the search bar comes up with some “other” types
Of videos lol
