Einleitung
Have you ever put on a pair of jeans and when you try to zip them up it breaks? Broken zippers are a common struggle that most people suffer daily because of the quality of the product or just because of the years of use. When a zipper breaks, this does not mean the jeans are not wearable anymore. Instead, it can be a great opportunity to add some buttons and give them a second life.
In this guide, you will be able to remove a broken zipper and add new non-sewing buttons without the need for expensive machinery or knowledge. In just 20 minutes, you will have a new pair of jeans ready to wear!
