Nickle Zipper Ends Giveaway

Sorry it's taken so long for me to do this post. I've had so many emails about the nickle zipper end tabs I use on my bags. They've created quite some interest and having tried to find somewhere on the net where they can be bought I haven't been successful. A couple of friends have also tried searching but so far we haven't come up with anything like mine. I buy mine from a local bag maker who uses them in his bags.

So being as I couldn't find any on the net I thought I'd do a little giveaway for some of them. I also wanted to be able to post them off to the winner in a little pouch but just didn't have the time, then last night when my football team, Spain, was playing in the world cup games I decided to make one after they were getting slaughtered for the second time LOLL. I deserted them at half time and this morning went out shopping with large sunglasses LOLLL in the hope that no one would spot me and say something about the match.

Anyway enough of that, lets get on with the giveaway. It's the first one I'm doing. I've done giveaways in the past but they've always been for bag patterns generously given by a designer that I was testing for at the time. So it's nice to be able to do one from me now.

I'm giving away 6 zipper end tabs and the little pouch. As I don't know who's going to win I couldn't make it in the favourite colours of the recipient so I made it in my favourite colours.


Depending on how you use the tabs you could make six bags if using on one end of the zipper or three bags if using on both ends. You can see how I've used them HERE for the Open Wide Zipper Pouch or HERE for the Uptown Girl Bag.


This is the underside.


And this is the tiny pouch which I'm sure you'll find a use for.



Now what shall I make you do to win LOLL. Ok I'm not going to have you jump through hoops to enter, all you have to do is leave me a comment and maybe mention which is your favourite colour. That's not too hard is it?

The giveaway will run until June 30th to give all of you who emailed me about the zipper tabs to see this post and have a chance to win. Oh and by the way this giveaway is open to anyone no matter where you live.

When you leave a comment PLEASE leave your email with your comment too so that I can get in touch with you if you win. I'm getting a lot of comments that are 'no-reply'. If you are using Google + the chances are you are one of these. If I can't get in touch with you I'll have to choose another winner.

Best of luck to all of you.

  9. Hi Maria, Thanks so much for the opportunity to win your wonderful giveaway! I'm one of those who has tried in vain to find something similar to use on the end of my zippers. I think you are quite lucky to have access to them from your great neighbor. As far as a favorite color goes, that's a tough one for me. I love the combination of orange, magenta and lime green and don't think I could choose one color over the other. Isn't that a great problem to have? :))

  14. This will be a popular giveaway! :) How sweet of you to do it. I would love to enter--I like many colors, but probably my favorite color combinations are the gradations of blue and turquoise of the ocean mixed with the earth tones of sand. I like red, too, and another favorite combination is raspberry red and cornflower blue together.

  26. These are great! For some reason (too fiddly?) I hate sewing zipper ends and am always looking for shortcuts. Have been using tape, but hardware looks so professional.
