How to mend a zip

Показать описание

The zip in your favourite bag or jumper is broken and you are wondering if it is possible to mend it without replacing the whole item. The good news is that anybody can repair a zipper and the job is no hassle at all!

You can come across a few different issues, for example the teeth won’t close or keep popping open, which is very frustrating. If the teeth are straight and the thread isn't stuck in the zip, it means that the slider has started to come apart and doesn’t cling the zipper teeth together anymore. In this case use a pair a pliers to close the slider together. Unfortunately, this trick works only with metal sliders; plastic ones are too fragile and will snap so it’s better to replace them with new ones of the same size.

Very often a zip has a metal or plastic bumper at the end so remove it before you'll start the job. Depending on the type, sometimes you will be able to put the bumper back, but if it won't be possible just replace the bumper with the stitches.

Watch my video and follow the simple directions to easily mend the zip and save your favourite piece of clothing or a beloved bag. I have filmed two zipper types - with and without the bumper - so check which part of the video will be helpful for you.

I haven’t commented on a YouTube video in years but just wanted to say THANK YOU! I bought some boots at a sample sale and didn’t realize the zipper was busted. I was so bummed to realize this when I got home. This trick saved them! 😅

Если уже сняли, то лучше заменить бегунок, сжать можно и не снимая, сжатие не на долго продлит работу бегунка.

Excelente tutorial. Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos. Me has ahorrado un dineral. Tengo bolsos y botas, pantalones y chaquetas que ya no uso porque se les daño la cremallera y pensaba tirarlos o mandarlos reparar. En mi país con la terrible crisis económica que estamos pasando cuesta una fortuna mandar a reparar cualquier cosa, me has salvado la vida, muchas gracias. Que Dios te bendiga.
