I love your tutorials! You explain everything thoroughly and show us clearly what you're doing via good camera shots. Thank you for such valuable and practical content.

Another fun one Jan. This will be our craft for the day with my 7&8 year old grandbabies next week. I have thousands of buttons they love to play with, perfect! Thanks.

[@JanHowell]

Have fun and let me know how it goes

[@KI_808]

This is great! I’ll try making some for zipper pouches. Oh n maybe for my kids lunch bags. Thank You!!

[@JanHowell]

Washable lunch bags are on my list to make and share.

[@begonial6151]

Great video. I’m a sewer and sometimes make bags so these are great ideas. The video, including the sound are quite good, so I don’t understand some of the comments you got. The white background is very helpful. I also recycle old zippers from skirts, etc. the older ones tend to be really good quality. I don’t craft a lot but I am surprised at how expensive simple little items can be and you can often get them from simple things around the house with a little knife-how. Thanks.

Waxing the thread is genius

[@JanHowell]

Thank you!

Great vid!!! I got a ton of little plush strawberries from a yard sale that I wanted to turn into zipper pulls but I ended up pulling the darned things right off the cording with my method. This video is full of good tips. Here’s one of my own: fabri-tac can easily be removed from most surfaces with acetone! I even got it out of a nylon fabric. It may matter if you get it before the 24 hr setting period. Thanks Jan!!!!

[@JanHowell]

Thanks for the tip! Strawberries would be adorable!

[@maryshaver129]

This was a cute, fun project! You've inspired me to get started!!

[@JanHowell]

Wonderful!

[@saraburke4795]

Revisiting this tip and will be making a few button pulls. After all, who doesn’t have a button bin! Really love your up-cycling tips too Jan. When I had chickens, I made quite a few tote bags from livestock and bird seed bags. Great fun and a quick make.

[@JanHowell]

What a fun idea.

[@lucilledaub5991]

Lovely zipper pulls! Thank you💕

[@JanHowell]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Barbie-dl5gu]

I like the idea 💡😃! Never thought of that.

[@JanHowell]

Thanks

[@karenh2890]

I love these zipper pulls, but I wish the camera were closer in. I have a hard time seeing exactly what you're doing. I love the button pulls!

[@JanHowell]

Sorry about that.

[@janruiz6610]

Love your video. Gave me lots of great ideas. One question - how many strands of embroidery floss do you use? I've tried all 6 but am having a hard time managing them even after waxing. Is it just me???

[@JanHowell]

I would use at least 4 strands.

[@shelleymorrison8210]

Great idea ! What kind of glue do you use ?

[@JanHowell]

Check description. There is a link there for you

[@alisoneichler4257]

I find that running the threat under a hot iron after waxing it makes the wax stick with the thread.

[@JanHowell]

thanks for sharing

[@martharomano4088]

How do I make a wristlet strap for a zippered pouch?

[@JanHowell]

Sorry, I don't have a tutorial for that yet. Great idea though.

[@bernadine8369]

[@JanHowell]
