DECORATIVE ZIP SLIDERS · BAG-MAKING HARDWARE
Put a little heart into your next sewing project
Add a glossy pink finishing detail to a handmade purse, pouch or bag. These heart-shaped zip pulls have an open centre and a curved decorative design that stands out against a simple fabric or coordinates with a colourful print.
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
Each pink heart is already attached to its slider head. Use it when making a new project with compatible #5 nylon-coil zip tape, or when replacing a matching slider on a suitable zip.
- Zip type: for compatible #5 nylon-coil zip tape.
- Complete slider: includes the slider head and attached decorative pull.
- Colour: Pink.
- 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.
Close-up photographs show one slider to display the detail; each purchased pack contains two matching sliders.
