Replacements for paracord zipper pulls

[JetGirl]

I have the full sized competition range bag from Midway and it sports 12 zipper pulls made from paracord with a plastic slider thingy on the ends that holds the corded ends on. I'm really hard on those and at least four are MIA because the ends slip off the plastic slider and I've lost them. I've tried knotting the ends, burning them to keep them from fraying, gluing them (same reason)...but they still break and get lost.
Currently, I've slipped a paperclip through a couple and slide key ring loops around a couple...but I'd like to replace them all with something that's more permanent and all the same. The keyring loops are easy to grab and utilize...but look dorky.
Any ideas?
Pics would be helpful with do-it-yourself ideas.

Thanks.

Lanyard knot would work well.

I have the same bag. I just got it in the mail two weeks ago. I hope this doesn't happen to mine anytime soon.

I have made these for keychain fobs but they would be great for zipper pulls also.

I have both of these. I like the Chums a little better for my use but the Campmor may stay with your paracord style. Don't recall if you can substitute real paracord for the included fake paracord. You might also consider pulling the inner cords out of your paracord and just using the outer shell for your zipper pulls. Go to either website and search for Zipper Pulls.

It's not just this one. It's my go bag and my regular backpack, too. They all have the same type pulls...they are all missing at least one.

I doubt it... I'm just really hard on them. At least I think so...since it's not just the one bag. That bag just has the most.

Monkeys have super strength not know to the mortal human. I would go with the ones that Slaw posted. All it is, is just macramé tying multiple square knots.

I usually make snake knot paracord pulls. Have them on my gym bag and backpack which take some abuse. Have yet to have one come apart. Use them for key chains too. One of the easier knots to make

The bag I carry always has some extra paracord, a knife, and a lighter in it, among other things...just sayin...

If you like the look, why not just replace them periodically as they break?

Hey, hey, they are tactical battle knots, not macrame.

I have a black 3-day assault pack that I use for my school bag, and the left hand zipper pull on the main pocket let go a long time ago. Been looking for something like what Slaw posted, so thankee, Yankee.

JG, check this website-countycomm.com I got those plastic things for my needs a few years ago. If you look on the left side of the home page, you will see a menu. Click on "other items". They should have them in different sizes.

Thanks... I'll take a look at all those.
