Okay that took me forever and a day, but I now can post the directions, hope this helps you make some unique zipper flowers!



Zipper flowers
you will need:
long zipper or zipper on a roll about 20”
you can use smaller your flower will just be smaller
small piece of felt
hand sewing needle
thread
and pliers if it gets tough to pull through

Cut a circle out of the felt about 1 to 1 ½ inches
Cut the end off your zipper and remove the zipper pull
you will only use one side of the zipper for one flower

Now to begin:
Place your zipper half so that one end is in the center of the felt circle, and the teeth are facing to the left.



Taking your long end loop it over to the center.
You will have a loop like in the picture it is like the awareness ribbon  loop (keep teeth of zipper up).







 Make a stitch to hold in place.




Continue making loops with a stitch in center for each loop until you have a flower or run out of zipper.















 Make a knot with your thread on back and cut off thread.






Some zippers you will come out even and will not be able to roll for the center. These you could embellish the centers with gemstones, buttons, etc.
If you do have a tail left you can roll it up into the center. Run your threaded needle through the roll to hold together and then just up and down stitch in place in middle of flower.


I have also just rolled a separate zipper and secured it with a few stitches and the hot glued it to the center.
You then trim down the felt circle in the back and attach a pin back or clip to the finished flower.
