Things You'll Need:
- Zipper
- Needle
- Sturdy thread
- Scissors
-
Step 1
Zip the zipper completely closed.
-
Step 2
Thread the needle with approximately 10 inches of thread. Pull the thread so that it is doubled on the needle and knot the ends securely.
-
Step 3
Insert the needle into the fabric on the left side of the zipper from the underside of the zipper. The needle should come up approximately 1/8-inch away from the zipper.
-
Step 4
Insert the needle back down into the fabric approximately 1/8-inch away from the zipper on the other side. This will make a stitch across the bottom of the zipper.
-
Step 5
Repeat steps 3 and 4 at least five times to make a sturdy stop for the zipper.
-
Step 6
Tie a double knot on the underside of the zipper to secure the new zipper stop. Clip the thread.
