This looks really cool. My only question is about size. Some of us have teeny tiny wrists and some of us are, well, not so tiny.

now that is cool!!!!

@Shadowspun good question..it seems most tutorials suggest using 8 inches, but you can contact your partner and ask their wrist size. I'd make it larger than the actual wrist size, by a couple of inches.

yeah the prob is that zippers usually come in standard sizes and smallest I have is like 7 inch but by the time you add closures and all that it's prob more like 7 1/2 -8 in..

BTW - can a wire wrapped bead count as a trinket?? Like the one I posted in the PF?

cajun, of course! Your zipper bracelets are GORGEOUS..I'm going to make several to try to get one looking good. I hope to get one that can look at least half as cute as yours!

@Lorraine so happy to have you!

@journalboy most craft and fabric stores sell zippers.

I was at Hobby Lobby today and they have both metal and non-metal zippers in the fabric dept. Lots of colors and sizes to choose from.
