And here's Jennifer, our editor-in-chief, who just happened to be wearing her zipper flower necklace the day I was gathering images for this post:
The challenge? To incorporate zippers into paper crafted projects such as these from the column. And you know what? It's a whole lot easier than you might think. Check it:
Star Joy Card by Kim Kesti, p. 26
Moxie Fab Alert: Here, Kim has simply glued a zipper around the outside of her star shape. Easy peasy and truly trendy!
Ruffled Peace Card by Betsy Veldman, p. 25
Moxie Fab Alert: In this festive card, Betsy has created trendy ruffles out of zippers. Again, this is moxie easy. All she did was adhere them, bunching them together so that they look like ruffles. And the flower? She simply stitched one length of zipper and pulled the threads until the zipper curled to form the flower.
Joy Gift Box by Danielle Flanders, p. 24
Moxie Fab Alert: In this gorgeous Christmas box, Danielle has folded and looped zippers, tacking them down with adhesive to create this beautifully unique "bow" at the top of her package.
For other ideas on how to zip up moxie and fab on your paper crafted projects, see the rest of the Moxie Fabs column on pages 25 and 26 of the November/December issue.
Doesn't this sound like a FUN challenge, friends? One that will really s-t-r-e-t-c-h your imagination? Personally, I can't WAIT to see the unique and innovative ways that you incorporate zippers into your projects!

Thanks for indtroducing me to Woollyfabulous!
OH my goodness, the crew's projects are AWESOME!! I'd love to try this new trend!!
This WILL be a challenge!
This is so cool and the samples are amazing! What a great challenge this will be!
I AM TOTALLY IN LOOOVE with the birdie brooch.
Oh my goodness, Moxie Fab you are the bomb! So loving this post and now I will need to create something with zippers. Although, how do you follow up any of the items on this post?!
Such a great challenge!! Love it totally!!
who knew zippers were so artsy? love the necklace and love the ideas--guess I'll quit throwing out old ones :)
Oh my, what fun!!!!
Fantastic Cath!:) x
what gorgeous examples zippers, Cath! I am gonna have to scratch my brain on this one!
Quite the imagination!
I'm loving all those zipper creations and am itching to create one of those flowers :O)
This challenge is zipperific! Gulp... I must give it a try.
This is a fun challenge. Although you'll have to pardon my wonky sewing.
Owh I had never heard of this trend. It does look super cool. Everytime I see a zipper I'm reminded that my Nan used to make zippers for a living. Seems insane to think of someone making them but it's true.
Zippers are truly trendy right now and I love the look of it because it incorporates the softness of flowers and ruffles with the edginess of metal! Moxie Fab indeed!
Love all the zippers! They are now on the top of my want list!!!
Ooops....accidentally linked my blog to this one and not the blogiversary list! :)
oh what fun...I've got a metal zipper on an undie!
Thanks for the inspiration.
I was finally hit by inspiration and have entered the challenge. Again, I have to thank MFW for greate inspiration and another scrapped page!
I don't know if I'll get to a project, but I once saw a zipper with teeth made of rhinestones. I thought it would be fabulous for a LBD, if only I ever had an occasion for a LBD. Can't wait to see what's up for tomorrow!
What an amazing challenge to use zippers. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Totally loved this column in the issue and now you rock it again. I've got it on my calendar as I am dying to play with this one!
I just had to come up with a use for the zipper pulls for all of us cutting apart our zippers, so I am entering a second item. Thanks!
Great challenge!!
Oh I had so much fun with this challenge after scoring some vintage zippers from Grammy's basement! Sweet! I can't WAIT to get my hands on MORE ZIPPERS and am slightly addicted now to researching different styles and techniques for zipper flowers on the internet!! Zip zip!
Love the Zippers!
Just entered another card.
What a hoot this challenge is!! I've entered my first project (even though it says #1 & #2), and plan to create another before the deadline!! Thanks for always challenging us with these awesome trends, Cath!
Wow! I loved this!! Thank you, so very much, for the inspiration to use something that has been collecting dust. I'm so happy with the result!
This card was sitting on my desk for weeks! My first thought was 'train track' for the zipper challenge. This was a fun "totally out of the box" fun card to make :o)
I'm a little late reading this, but have seen the 'zipper effect' around the mall. One of my granddaughter's favorite stores (JUSTICE) has clothes incorporating decorative zippers...I did a double take first time I saw them. Think I have some stored away from my sewing days...off to find them for a future project.
