... pour tenter de faire comme Van Cleef : collier Zip avec diamants et saphirs en or blanc. Le collier Zip Antique Colombine est l'un des modĂšles les plus emblĂ©matiques de Van Cleef, créé Ă l'origine pour la duchesse de Windsor dans les annĂ©es 1950. Les dents en or se zippent pour ajuster la chute du collier, ou les deux cĂŽtĂ©s peuvent ĂȘtre zippĂ©s complĂštement et portĂ©s comme un bracelet.
... to try to do like Van Cleef: Zip necklace with diamonds and sapphires in white gold. The Zip Antique Colombine is one of Van Cleef's most iconic designs, originally created for the Duchess of Windsor in the 1950s. The gold teeth actually zip up to adjust the fall of the necklace, or the two sides can be zipped all the way up and worn as a bracelet.

I hadn't realised there were so many things you could do with a zip! Some very coold ideas ( I particularly like the dragonfly). Congratulations on making it to Z!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerC'et un article vraiment original; j'avais vu des colliers dĂ©jĂ et un sac dont je dois avoir la photo quelque part, le zip dĂ©gageait une poche secrĂšte. Merci pour tous ces liens; je vais les explorer!♥♥♥♥
RépondreSupprimerWow, those earnings and pedants are so cool! How do we make that brooch? That's something I'd love to try for sure.
RépondreSupprimerHad a great time visiting your blog this month.
Congratulations on completing the challenge. :)
Que de nouvelles pistes Ă explorer...avec un simple zip....
RépondreSupprimerL'aventure de ce challenge A to Z se termine Frédérique. Ton thÚme est bien d'actualité. Merci pour toutes ces recherches et les liens intéressants et surprenants que tu nous as communiqués.
A reconsulter
Et merci de nous avoir associés avec le challenge quilt. J'ai beaucoup aimé.
A présent, tu vas pouvoir retrouver du temps pour tes ouvrages...

I have a love/hate relaionship with zippers, they're forever getting stuck! I never imagined they could be used in such creative ways.
RépondreSupprimerHere's my Z!
Once again, such clever uses.
RépondreSupprimerI think we'll all be going this route today! These are all very cool and creative ways to repurpose zippers. Thanks for the opportunity to see the world of re-use and upcycling!
RépondreSupprimerI love jewellery. Never thought zippers could be turned into wearable art!
RépondreSupprimerThank you for a month of inspiration and a bag full of projects to dig into dear Frederique. Your posts were a delight to come to.
J'adore l'idée du bracelet tout fin avec les breloques !
RépondreSupprimerThe zipper heart is very sweet. And I like the woven zipper bag.
RépondreSupprimerThe jewelry? Elegant, but I can't wrap my head around the sensation of zipper teeth against my skin.
A-Z well done! You found a lot of fun and inspiring upcycling ideas.
When I see these I know that creativity is a bottomless well! I appreciate your A2Z and have these ideas stored in my mental cache.

I love the zipper flowers and jewelry. So much creativity in each of your posts. Must cycle back for a more details look now that A to Z is over. Congrats on completing the challenge and thanks for visiting my blog along the way. https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/zip-code-scares-and-zap-power-outage-atozchallenge/
RépondreSupprimerZ est aussi pour Zut comme dans Zut! c'est déjà fini! J'ai adoré tes articles de Aà Z et je suis désolé que ce soit terminé. Les fermetures éclaires sont vraiment super et j'en ai des tas. Je pense que je vais jouer avec elles ce weekend. Encore une fois, merci pour tous ces liens fabuleux. ;^)
RépondreSupprimerI never thought to remove zippers and save them. Usually the zipper is the reason my clothes get thrown out! I thought the first was a pencil case, and it could be.
RépondreSupprimerMy mind is blown by all the ideas for zippers!! I would be hard pressed to come up with a favorite out of the selections.
RépondreSupprimerThank you for sharing such creative ideas all month, and congratulations for completing the A to Z Challenge!
Wonderful inventiveness - I love it - my kind of sewing!
RépondreSupprimerAnother impressive post to finish off the month. Well done on getting to the end - I feel I have learned an awful lot about craft and reusing materials!

I have a zipper brooch that my father-in-law found for me at his church bazaar. Some of these are really spectacular!
RépondreSupprimerThis was a fun theme, which I have enjoyed.
Black and White: Z for Zerzura
Well now, looks like I have a full dance card of things to make next month, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for all the posts and inspirations. Congrats on reaching the end of this years A2Z.
RépondreSupprimerLovely necklaces.
RépondreSupprimerCongrats on finishing this April challenge.
So very creative. I'm not so industrious or handy with sewing craftwork so I'll likely not be doing much like this.
RépondreSupprimerYou did a wonderful job with this year's Challenge. Thanks for you participation and for all of your wonderful comments on my posts.

Tossing It Out
My wardrobe contains very few items with zippers these days and I have no extra zippers laying around but I enjoyed seeing all the artful ideas you have created. The dragonfly especially captured my attention. Congratulations on completing the AtoZChallenge2021 and sharing many colorful ideas with the community all month.

I really want to do some zipper crafts. originally, I was going to try one for my A to Z but then decided to go the digital route and make a zine but I still have some zipper crafts bouncing around in head. I especially love the pictures from woolly_fabulous. I think those would make wonderful hairclips. They are so fun and whimsical. Weekends In Maine
RépondreSupprimerZipper jewelry... how unique!
RépondreSupprimerI really enjoyed your theme this month! And I got a lot of neat ideas I'm going to have to try. Thank you! :)

It's just amazing what great things you can create with zippers. That literally spurs the think tank on. Thank you for your great A-Z contributions.
RépondreSupprimerMany greetings Barbara
So we made it through another challenge Frederique and this year, although more prepared beforehand - I have been overworked by the day job - so I still have posts of yours to visit through the next while. Thank you for your comments which I always enjoy and for all the work you have put into your magnificent journey in this challenge (Jason and the Argonauts - eat your hearts out!)
RépondreSupprimerje préfÚre le sapin de Noel au collier (qui doit chatouillé sauf celui de Van Cleef évidemment!!) merci encore pour ces bonnes idées!
RépondreSupprimerI have the same multi zipper bag ..... woah !!!! I did not make it though , got it as a gift...same colors :)
RépondreSupprimerhttps://pagesfromjayashree.blogspot.com/2021/04/z-for-zoo.html
I love the zipper jewelry! I do wish there was an easy way to repair broken zippers because I have a handmade purse (not made by me) with a broken zipper that I want to be able to use again. Ah well! Congratulations on completing the A to Z Challenge!
RépondreSupprimerWow, those bracelets! I love bracelets and I'm going to have to give some of these a go. Well done on finishing the challenge!
RépondreSupprimerI remember when I was learning to sew that zippers were one of the hardest things to work with. I love some of these interesting uses for them, especially the necklaces and bracelets. Those flowers are so cute and the Christmas tree ornaments! Thanks for sharing this. I may have to try a couple of those! Congrats on finishing the A to Z. I have enjoyed looking at your various craft projects!
RĂ©pondreSupprimerJanet’s Smiles
Wow, lots of zipper jewelry and art. Those zipper bags were the thing a couple years ago. They were everywhere.
RépondreSupprimerBeautiful! And now I have found Z for Zipper for the scavenger hunt! Thank you.
RépondreSupprimerIt's hard to believe the alphabet part of the blogging challenge is over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the "road trip" sign-up.
Plus, I'm taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!

Wow, amazing post! Now I wish I had some leftover zippers! I think I need to visit a yard sale or something and find some. So much inspiration here. Here's my Z post - https://lexicalcreations.weebly.com/jens-blog/zzzzz-vs-snore
RépondreSupprimerJust like that I've learned a new French word "fermeture éclair" - never heard before!
RépondreSupprimerAnd I had no idea there were so many cool things one can make with them.
Congratulations on completing A-Z. I bet you're going to be bored in May ;-)))
Que de bonnes idées j'adore merci pour le partge
