AmberCake said ... Just don't go running out of that birdcage fabric, y'hear?

Bias tape maker? $6 miracle.

What about a small braid or crochet chain with a small felt cutout at the tip - leaf, dot, etc? Or yarn-with-bead?

Or... I dunno, I guess that's about all I've got.

est said ... these are so lovely!
i especially like shrinky dinks!!it would be cute to have drawing of the matching birdie as the zipper pull. a rectangle transparent one!:)


LeeAnn said ... I wouldn't change a thing. Gorgeous as always. And don't be a cheapie, get a bias tape maker!


ViVi said ... Lovely as always!

This is kind of random, but it was the first thing that popped into my head about the zipper pulls. You know those little doodads you can buy for attaching to the end of the chain for ceiling fans? I guess it depends on what's out there and what kinds of stores carry them (I'm slightly out of touch now, ha!) so I don't know if it's an avenue worth exploring.


Angelina said ... Did you buy a bolt of the bird cage fabric? It's one of my favorite fabrics.

I think your pulls look great the way they are. But I was thinking of what to use for zipper pulls myself because I want to make a little sewn zipper bag for a friend. I was thinking little felt shapes would be cool. But more work than making the pulls yourself.

Another possibility is using metal charms as pulls. But I think I like the fabric ones you already do way better.

Felt is actually a good idea - I might try that sometime.
