The OutsaPop Zipper Necklace is constructed from 12 jacket-zippers bought from a thrift shop.
Skill Level: Junior
Total Cost: The total cost is relative, because the materials are recycled/secondhand. I found a bag full of them (205 pcs to be exact) with just 5 euro, (about $7). I usually use about 12 zips per necklace, but I’ve also done them with just 8 or as many as 15.
Supplies:
12 long jacket zippers with metal teeth
Strong denim thread
Tools:
loads of pins
a fitting dummy
sewing needle
Get to it!
1. Open up the zippers, creating the organic form using pins on a dummy.
2. After pinning the necklace together, take it off the dummy and sew it together by hand.
