DIY Zipper Pull

This is short and sweet like my Twitter tweets (I’m @leangreenmom), and, in fact, a tweet inspired this post.

My crafty, DIY and cheap husband just fixed the zipper pull on his winter jacket, without having to buy anything new. He took a paperclip and slipped it into the remaining hardware and, voila, new zipper pull. My friend Elizabeth Kricfalusi suggested that perhaps he wrap the paperclip in duct tape to avoid stabbing his finger.

Hmm, duct tape and my husband–perfect together. I’m sure that a paper clip wrapped in duct tape would add a certain je ne sais quoi to his winter style, wouldn’t you say?
