Broken zippers can be a headache, but you don’t need to be an expert to fix them.

Today I share with you two simple tricks that will allow you to repair them in minutes, without spending too much.

Method for Long Zippers: The Fork Trick

This method is ideal for jackets or garments where the zipper is longer. You will only need one fork:

1. Remove the zipper slider (the moving piece that joins the teeth).
2. Place the slider over the fork teeth, making sure it fits snugly between the tips.
3. Line up both sides of the zipper on the slider and gently push down to snap it into place.
4. Once the slider is properly positioned, try closing the zipper to make sure it’s working properly.

Method for short zippers: adjust and sew the stop
