Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up

Jeans Zipper Won't Stay Up

If you have a pair of jeans that fit well, but has a zipper that just won't stay up, try this tip before getting rid of them. Get a small, thin ponytail holder, like the ones used for little girls. (The wider ones for large amounts of hair are far too long.) Covered hair elastics, close to the colour of your pants, work best.

Push one loop through a hole in the zipper tab, then slip it through the loop at its opposite end. Pull it firmly to tighten it around the zipper pull. Then when you zip up your jeans, slip the open loop over the button, and do up your jeans as normal.

Unlike using a safety pin, this method is not visible, and allows you to quickly (and safely) hook and unhook your zipper. If you find your loop is too long, just tie a knot in it to shorten it. Leave the hairband on the zipper and launder it with your jeans. Then it is there and ready to go the next time you want to wear your jeans! You'll love your jeans again, now that you can wear them with confidence. Keep your money in your pocket instead of buying new clothes!
