  Step 1

  You will need one or two zip tabs for this project. You could buy zips new and take the tabs off or use tabs from old or broken zips.

• 

  Step 2

  Sand down the bottom side of the zip tabs. This will remove the shininess and make it easier to glue.

• 

  Step 3

  Super glue stud earring bases to the zip tabs and leave to dry.

aw those are soo cuute!!!
if u cant find earring studs, you can always go to a claires or something like that and buy the earring studs that are fake dimonds in a bunch of diffrent colours that come in packs of like 10, and then just glue the zipper to the fake dimond so you can see it

I just bought the earring studs from my local craft store, if you're really stuck, try eBay!
