Zipper is one of the most popular types of fasteners. Recently, the zipper has been at the peak of popularity. Products with a plentiful amount of lightning are considered very fashionable. A huge number of things are made of zippers: clothes, handbags, jewelry. Original products from lightning can be made with your own hands. For example, you can make a stylish necklace.

To do this, you will need:
1. zipper (3 pcs. 18-20 cm)
2. satin ribbon (40 cm)
3. clasp
4. beads (5 pieces)
5. superglue
6. threads
7. needle
8. scissors
9. a small piece of sticky paper or fabric

Step 1.
We take one zipper, cut the fabric from the bottom and along the edges, leaving 0.5-0.7 cm from the edge of the cloves. Burn the trimmed edges using matches or a lighter.

We unzip. Sew a bead to the upper edge. We begin to wrap the right edge of the zipper clockwise, the left - against. Each turn is well fastened with several stitches from the wrong side.

In this way we get the right and left circle in the center with the slider. This element will serve as the center of the necklace.

Step 5
We sew the already prepared ribbon with a fastener to the edges of the central part of the necklace. On the seamy side of the necklace, thread stitches are visible. In order for the work to look more accurate, they must be closed. We take adhesive paper or just a cloth, cut the part in the shape of a necklace and glue it with glue, closing the thread stitches.
