If you've been looking for zipper tape that's as beautiful as the fabric you pair it with, Making Waves is worth a good look. This #5 nylon coil zipper from Sallie Tomato features artwork from Tula Pink's Floral Reef Collection printed directly onto the tape – a flowing gradient of paisley and floral motifs that shifts from warm pink through purple, teal, and soft green. Paired with hot pink metallic-look coils and pulls, it's understated enough to blend into a lining but gorgeous enough to show off on an unlined pouch. Includes 3 yards of tape and 9 pulls.

Product Details:

• Print: Making Waves – flowing pastel gradient floral and paisley design from Tula Pink's Floral Reef Collection
• Length: 3 yards of zipper tape
• Coil Type: Durable nylon with a hot pink metallic-look finish
• Pulls Included: 9 matching hot pink metallic-look pulls

Why Choose Making Waves Zippers from Sallie Tomato?

A Zipper Tape That Works with the Design: The soft gradient movement of Making Waves means this tape coordinates with a wide range of fabrics – the flowing shift from pink to purple to teal to green picks up colors from many modern quilting prints, not just the Floral Reef Collection. Whether it's visible at a bag opening or hidden in a lining, it's a considered finishing touch either way.

Customizable Length: Say goodbye to standard zipper lengths that don't quite fit your project. Sallie Tomato's continuous roll format lets you cut the exact length you need, reducing waste and saving time. Whether you're making a small coin purse or a large tote with multiple pockets, one roll covers a whole run of projects.

Durable and Easy to Sew: The #5 coil size provides the strength needed for medium to large projects – bags, backpacks, upholstery – while still being completely manageable for smaller accessories. The wider 1-1/4" tape feeds smoothly under your presser foot and is far less likely to cause the needle-breaking frustration that narrower tapes can cause.

The Best of Both Worlds: Traditional metal zippers look great but can be heavy and stiff. These nylon coil zippers with a hot pink metallic-look finish give you the polished appearance of metal hardware with the flexibility and lightweight feel of nylon. Smooth glide, easy curves, no added weight in your finished bag.

Versatile Applications: Handbags, backpacks, pouches, cosmetic bags, organizers, garments – the #5 size handles all of it. The Making Waves gradient is particularly lovely on bags where the tape shows at the opening, where the color shift reads as a subtle design detail rather than just functional hardware.

Convenient and Cost-Effective: With 3 yards of tape and 9 pulls, this set gives you the flexibility to create single-pull or double-slide zippers at any length. Double-slide zippers (opening from the middle out) are particularly useful for handbags and luggage. Opening from both ends works beautifully for jacket and hoodie applications.

Adding pulls is even easier with The Gypsy Quilter's Zipper Jig. Drop the pull into the correct channel, insert the tape ends, and give a tug. Works with sizes 3, 4-1/2, and 5 zippers and is compatible with all Sallie Tomato zippers.
