Broken zippers can become a real problem, but you don’t need to resort to a tailor to fix it.
With just a few materials and simple steps, you can repair any zipper in a matter of minutes.
Today I’ll show you two effective methods that will save you time and money.
Method for long zippers: The fork trick
This method is ideal for garments such as jackets, bags or backpacks where the zippers are usually longer.
