✨ Creating a Long or Curved Zipper Using the “Line” Tab ✨
In this tutorial, I’ll show a more advanced method for creating a zipper when you need to add a long or curved zipper to a project using the “Line” tab.
The zipper can be straight, curved, or large with visible details. Let’s go step by step.
🔹 Method 1: Single Line with Lock
1️⃣ Open the project where you want to add the zipper.
2️⃣ Add a line to the project via the Line tab.
3️⃣ Switch to Point Mode and adjust the line to create a curved zipper.
4️⃣ Choose the appropriate line property to imitate the teeth, and set the color.
5️⃣ Through Decor → Items, add a zipper pull at the top of the line.
6️⃣ Use brushes to create shadows under the zipper for depth and realism.
🔹 Method 2: Multiple Lines for a Detailed Zipper
1️⃣ Add the first line as in Method 1. See the line shape in the image below. Adjust the color if needed.
2️⃣ Copy the line and place it next to the first one, slightly above, to create the alternating teeth effect.
3️⃣ Add two straight lines on the sides at the top as the zipper outline.
4️⃣ Through Decor → Items, add a zipper pull.
5️⃣ Use light and dark brushes to make the zipper look volumetric and realistic.
💡 Tip:
For curved zippers, Method 1 works best. For large, detailed zippers, use Method 2. You can combine both methods for a highly realistic effect.
