This is great! I’ll try making some for zipper pouches. Oh n maybe for my kids lunch bags. Thank You!!

Washable lunch bags are on my list to make and share.
Great video. I’m a sewer and sometimes make bags so these are great ideas. The video, including the sound are quite good, so I don’t understand some of the comments you got. The white background is very helpful. I also recycle old zippers from skirts, etc. the older ones tend to be really good quality. I don’t craft a lot but I am surprised at how expensive simple little items can be and you can often get them from simple things around the house with a little knife-how. Thanks.

Revisiting this tip and will be making a few button pulls. After all, who doesn’t have a button bin! Really love your up-cycling tips too Jan. When I had chickens, I made quite a few tote bags from livestock and bird seed bags. Great fun and a quick make.

Great vid!!! I got a ton of little plush strawberries from a yard sale that I wanted to turn into zipper pulls but I ended up pulling the darned things right off the cording with my method. This video is full of good tips. Here’s one of my own: fabri-tac can easily be removed from most surfaces with acetone! I even got it out of a nylon fabric. It may matter if you get it before the 24 hr setting period. Thanks Jan!!!!

Love your video. Gave me lots of great ideas. One question - how many strands of embroidery floss do you use? I've tried all 6 but am having a hard time managing them even after waxing. Is it just me???
@JanHowell

I would use at least 4 strands.
I find that running the threat under a hot iron after waxing it makes the wax stick with the thread.
