How to Fix a Broken Zipper Without Replacing It
Step 1:
Check to see how many pieces, teeth, or pins are missing from the zipper.

Step 2:
Using needle-nose pliers, carefully remove the pieces (as many as necessary) from the top of the zipper as well as the top stop.

Step 3:
Take a toothpick and carefully insert the pieces one by one. This will open them up.

Step 4:
Using your pliers, pick up the pieces and place them on the edge of the tape where there are missing pieces. Adjust the gaps using the toothpick.

Step 5:
Use a hair dryer to heat it up and close the pieces.

Step 6:
On the top of your zipper, cut off the excess tape, then sew the final piece together using a needle and thread. Use a lighter to lightly burn the edges of your tape and you’re done.
