Funky Zips
View allSprinkle Zipper Tape with Bright Metallic Rainbow Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.50Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.

We currently dispatch orders on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only.

Black Zipper Tape with Antique Brass Coil Teeth - Size 5 Zip
Regular price £3.00Sold by the metre.
These premium #5 continuous nylon zipper tapes are a must-have for bag-making, sewing, and craft projects. Featuring a durable nylon coil with the sleek appearance of metal teeth, they offer the perfect balance of strength and style. Ideal for handbags, backpacks, pouches, and any project where a more substantial zipper is needed.
Each metre of zipper tape includes one rectangular zipper pull. Additional pulls in a variety of styles are available separately, so you can customise your projects with ease.
- ✅ Flexible & Customisable: These are continuous zips — cut to your desired length and add pulls from either direction to create single or double-pull zippers.
- ✅ Easy to Work With: Nylon coil zippers are easy to sew through and won’t damage your sewing machine needles. You can also coordinate the zip teeth with your bag hardware for a professional, polished finish.
🔧 How to Attach a Zipper Pull:
- Open one end of the zipper tape by a few inches. (Since the coil is reversible, either end works.)
- Hold the zipper pull with the rounded side facing down.
- Insert one side of the zipper tape into the slider just until it catches — don’t pull it through yet.
- Insert the other side of the tape into the slider until you feel resistance.
- Push both sides through gently but firmly until the coil teeth align and emerge from the other end.
- Once in place, pull the zipper pull firmly to secure.
