Use a seam ripper or scissors to cut the thread that's attaching the zipper to the pants.

Form the Heart

Bring the ends of the zipper's teeth down and below the zipper. Glue or sew one end of the zipper to the other end of the zipper. This will make a heart shape. You can leave the heart like that if you want to, or you can glue the zipper to the bottom of the zipper and make a smaller heart.

Decorate!

You can glue it to a decorative jar or vase,

You can sew it on to a hat,
