Zipper Bracelet
Think outside the box when it comes to jewelry! You’ll really make a statement with this unique-looking zipper bracelet that’s easy to make with hot glue, jewelry findings and pliers.
A seven-inch zipper is plenty long enough to fit the average-sized wrist. If your wrist is large, simply use a longer zipper.
You’ll need a second zipper pull in addition to the one that comes with the zipper. Pulls can be purchased separately so you don’t have to buy complete zippers. Better yet, check your outdated clothing for zippers and remove the stitching with a seam ripper.

Style your bracelet with studs for the ‘rocker’ in you or keep it understated with just a few simple embellishments.
