If you use your zip too much, the bottom part may tear, preventing the pull tab from engaging.
What should you do if this happens? Tilli explains it all!
Here's a super-fast technique that requires no skill.
Put glue on the bottom of your zipper, right where it's torn.
Cut a small piece of straw, the same height as the rip / tear, cut a slit and insert the straw into your closure. Press down to let the glue work. And you're done!
Although temporary, the straw technique will be perfect to tide you over!
You'll also find various repair kits for your zippers.
In the case of a rip / tear, turn to kits containing a case and a sleeve.
Simple and fast, they'll enable you to repair your zipper in just a few minutes, and without any sewing.
