Fix any zipper in 2 minutes

When it comes to shorter zippers, such as those on pants, this trick is the perfect solution:

1. Identify the bottom area of the zipper where the slider doesn’t fit snugly.
2. Using scissors, cut a small length of the bottom end of the zipper.
3. Snap the slider (also known as a cursor) into this freshly cut section and slide it up.
4. To prevent the slider from slipping off, sew the area where you made the cut, creating a new firm stop.

Additional Tips

• Use sturdy yarn to ensure that the new stop is durable.
• If the slider is damaged, you can easily replace it with a new one at any haberdashery.

With these simple steps, your zippers will be as good as new. No more unnecessary spending on repairs!
