I was making a DIY project a few days ago when the zipper I was working on suddenly encountered a mishap. I accidentally pulled the slider way too far that it managed to come off from the zipper itself which stressed me out for a few minutes. I don’t want to get a new zipper as the one I was previously working on would go to waste but I don’t know what to do either ’cause I’m in a state of panic.

How to Fix a Zipper Slider:
Insert the bridge of the zipper slider in between the 2 middle prongs of a fork, then make sure that the curved edge is at the top and the puller is at the bottom. Separate the ends of the zipper, then aim each piece on either side of the slider, and make sure that the wrong side is facing up or facing you. Pull the zipper towards you until the slider is properly inserted back into the zipper.
