I love this bag! Everyone's always opening the zippers and asking "which one opens it?" And I just say "Pick one!"

What starts out like this
Get as many zippers as you want, an even number. I used 10 different colors. And I chose 9" because when you sew the ends up and fold it outside in, it's still long enough for my makeup pencils and mascaras.

Soon becomes this, just sew the sides together.
(you can get a zipper presser foot for around $4)... *Sew every other zipper right side up and upside down in an ABAB pattern.

This is what you'll see
The top of one zipper meets the bottom of the next, and so on.

Next (forgot to take a picture) I trimmed up the ends of the zippers and *with it inside out* sewed some white fabric across the end seams to keep them from fraying, and to close up the ends. I sewed over the metal clasps to keep them tucked inside the bag. This is in the *inside of the bag, so you can use any color fabric.
And flipped rightside out this is what you'll have.

The original I got in Malaysia one summer. It had to be retired when the green zipper busted after 3 good years. It's dirty and broken, but I still heart you buddy
