Overview

Zippers rock. You know it, we know it and this contest will give all of us a little closure on why this closure rocks the hardest -- they are made of metal, after all! Whether you’re sewing a new zipper onto a backpack, fashioning funky earrings, or using them to make alternative music, we can’t wait to see what you come up with! Show us all the ways you get creative with zippers and enter for a chance to win an Amazon gift card.
