Here’s a cool trick you could try with Copics: Colored Zippers.
Momma was making a skirt this week with a hidden zipper, but she couldn’t find a hidden zipper that was the same color blue as the skirt fabric. So I used a Copic marker to color her cream colored zipper blue.
I’m not sure how well the coloring job will hold up to wear and tear, but I did heat set the colored zipper and I’ll update if the alteration fails.


Are there no ends to your talent!!!!!!
GREAT IDEA!!
You and that momma of yours are keepers! Looking forward to a full report on the wash test!
How clever you are…and talented.
Awesome! Even if it did fade or washout a bit you have the marker to redo it! Another good reason for me to try out the Copics!
how clever!
Super cool idea! I hope it makes it through the wash.
Great idea! Your imgenuity amazes me.
What a fantastic idea, you clever man! You are always so innovative. TFS.
Good idea! To keep the color, paint it with clear nail polish (your mom should have some!).
Your mom is such a lucky woman to have such a clever and talented son!
