Bless your soul thank you for showing ways to do this without a sewing machine. I literally could not find any videos without someone using a sewing machine to shorten zippers but I’m broke and trying to be crafty so no sewing machine here🥲

Glad I could help!

You could probably iron the plastic zipper teeth between parchment paper to melt them together without burning the plastic!

[@Mellysews]

If you try that, let us know how it goes!

Is it possible to use a heat gun instead of a lighter?

[@Mellysews]

A heat gun will generate a larger area of heat than a lighter or candle.

Why matches why not with a lighter?

[@Mellysews]

Because I don't have a lighter in my sewing room.
