Mending a zip

Primrose

Can anybody suggest a cheap way of mending a zip on a good quality anorak please.
the little tag bit you clip into the resident zip part  at the bottom has broken. -  one of the two tiny.prong/forks has snapped off.

Split ring from a keyring? Go for the biggest you can. A paperclip would suffice and perhaps be a better shape but might be more prone to working its way off.

You can buy replacement pulls from places like Amazon e.g.

TENNER.LONDON Set of 10 Zipper Pull Zip Pull Zipper Puller Cord Slider Fastener Jacket Bag Backpack https://amzn.eu/d/9nywjkL

Metal ones are also available if you prefer.

Aha! The very same thing happened to me this morning. I was thinking of going to our local Repair Cafe to see if they had any better ideas, but I've got several of those pulls on a gilet!
