DECORATIVE ZIP SLIDERS · BAG-MAKING HARDWARE
A bright little bee for your handmade bag
Bring a playful nature-inspired detail to your next bag or pouch. These glossy green bee zip sliders feature shaped wings and a striped body, making a small zip pull part of the overall design.
Pack of 2 matching sliders. Quantity 1 in your cart = two sliders of the same design and colour.
A small detail with plenty of personality
The bee charm is attached to a complete #5 nylon-coil slider head. Pair the green finish with botanical fabrics, a favourite print or a contrasting plain fabric for zipped pouches, bags and sewing organisers.
- Zip type: for compatible #5 nylon-coil zip tape.
- Complete slider: includes the slider head and attached decorative pull.
- Colour: Green.
- Pack contents: two matching sliders; zip tape is not included.
Choose the right zip tape
These sliders are designed for #5 nylon-coil zips, not metal-tooth, moulded-plastic or invisible zips. They are not universal clip-on charms for an existing pull tab. The #5 designation identifies the zip size/type—it is not a measurement of the decorative charm.
Slider fit can vary between zip-tape ranges. Test on your chosen tape before sewing it into your project; do not force a slider that catches or fails to close the coil correctly.
Using your sliders
Thread the slider onto an accessible end of compatible zip tape, following your bag pattern or tape supplier's instructions. Check that it opens and closes smoothly, then secure the zip ends as directed by your pattern. Replacing a slider on a finished item may require access to the end of the zip.
Use the pair on separate projects, or where your pattern calls for two sliders on a suitable zip. Other decorative designs are sold separately—this is not a mixed-design pack.
