    Here is something I created from the short pieces of cord left.
    One is finished with a diamond knot, but I think it looks better without.

    The one without the diamond knot does look better.

    Did you use 550 cord? I keep tossing around the idea of making some for bags and stuff but 550 cord seems to make a large pull!

    Using 550 paracord is the perfect size for me and my customers haven't complained either.

    Another question, how do you attach them to your zippers ? I thought I'd tie/weave my pulls right onto the zipper it's self. Yours obviously aren't attaches to anything. Do you use a split ring or something similar ?

    These are the first I've made so I don't have a good answer yet on how to attach them. The 550 cord seems to be good for the size. Not too big.
    If anyone could give ideas on attaching to the zipper I would be interested to see too.
