Zipper Pull Crafts

This is one of those cool crafts that is rather quickly done and is not limited to just one type of material.

I never really gave it much thought, but this craft can make the lives of many a whole lot easier.

Living with RA or another form of Arthritis can turn simple things into a daunting task.

Closing a zipper is one of them and a zipper pull would make a world of difference for sure.

Whether you like working with beads, wood, metal, yarn, paracord, or whatever else you can think of; almost anything can be used for fabricating a zipper pull.

The only requirement is that you will need a snap hook for attaching your home-made pull to and hooking it onto the zipper.

Depending on your choice of material, you may need to drill a small hole into your zipper pull which is determined by the size of the snap hook.

Snap hooks come in many different dimensions, shapes, and colors. The examples in this picture are just the tip of the iceberg where your options are concerned.

You may want to look around in a hardware store or online to see the selection. It would probably be wise to do that first and go from there.

Once that is done creating a zipper pull is a snap!
