My friend Lisa (of PoldaPop designs) is a big fan of old zippers and makes amazing things with them. This post is inspired by her zippy creativity (!) and by these beautiful tutorials I found. (Note: this could have been a HUGE roundup but I made the very unusual decision to avoid the rabbit hole, stop looking and publish! Zipper pile image above via Flickr)
