How to fix a broken or stuck zipper in seconds with these tricks

Broken tie rod

It may happen that, due to a movement that is a little too strong, we are left with the zipper in our hand.

A quick solution is to open the part to which the tie rod was anchored with a screwdriver and insert a thin strip of canvas.

Zipper blocked

You can apply a little lip balm or petroleum jelly to make the zipper slide better and open.

Missing “teeth”

Cut the plastic part of a cotton swab into small pieces. Take a fragment and cut one end, opening a slit, then insert it into the part where the tooth is missing.
