• Step 1

  Take your zipper, I made mine with a 12 inch one but you can use it any length that you want.

• Step 2

  With some fabric scissor, cut the fabric off the zipper, just leaving the teeth.

• Step 3

  Now, pull all the extra fabric with your fingers to clean it up.

• 

  Step 4

  Then take your lighter and burn the rest of what is left on the zipper, careful with this specially if you are using a plastic zipper.You don't want to burn it all. If its a metal, let it cool before touching it.

• 

  Step 5

  Now take you some of this and put the on to the end. If the zipper its too wide you can burn it a little and mold it by touching while its till hot. Dip your fingers in water before touching it.

• Step 6

  Now put the necklace closing, by getting you metal tongs and squeeze then closed.

• 

  Step 7

  Next, put the lock you desire. Secure it in place, making sure it wont fall out.

• 

  Step 8

  And hazaaa! You have a zipper necklace!!

  (Mine had a little accident, because I was distracted and burn it, it did broke and I had to reattached it by melting it and gluing them together.)
