I'm looking for what these are called. It's the "paracord" type of woven material that people place on backpack zippers for bigger handles. I've heard them call "keyfobs" but didn't know the technical term. I'm trying to find a guide to make my own. Can anyone help?
If a picture is needed, I'll try to find one. |

Usually it's just a cobra knot that is girth hitched on the zipper and tied as long as you need it to be:

You're looking for "zipper pulls". You can get "parts" and make them yourself or you can get then premade.
<more parts> Google search paracord zipper pull or zipper pull ends (Link to images of "ends").

These look cool. They would be easy to make yourself also.
