I have to admit I cracked up with the subject title! Great idea - if you can get the ones with falling zippers to do it!

Good idea, Irmi. Now what do I do about zippers that have lost their tabs? Don't say sew in a new zipper, I don't sew!

If zippers keep going down, a little hairspray on the zippers teeth will make it stay up. Just tacky enough to keep it working til you wash it. Bar soap for the ones that are hard to go up or down. I had kids in jeans and always had zipper dilemmas.

Lost tab? Try replacing with a paper clip.
A bit of a squeeze with pliers tightens up a falling zipper.

Marda, I've used the paperclip a number of times! And it works!
