Easy Fix for Ripped Zip: Utilize a Common Paperclip. Using a simple technique and readily available materials, anyone can mend a torn zipper on their clothing or bag with minimal effort. First, straighten the metal paperclip into a long, thin strip, then insert it into the broken zip's teeth at an angle, working to press the individual metal parts back into alignment. Slowly pull out the paperclip as you guide the zipper along its track, allowing the metal strips to reposition and secure themselves in place. With patience and gentle pressure, the repair should be complete within a few minutes.
