Walmart sells something similar in the camping section:

It says prices vary per store, but I think I paid 99 cents for the three pack.

I put them on the zippers on my motorcycle jacket so I could work them easier with my gloves on. They work just fine for that.

Used a barnacle knot for the rear window zipper.

I made a bunch of these this past week while on vacation. Forgot all of them at my brother-in-law's house. Now I need to make more.

My ol lady just made some for me last night. She took the inner cord out before she started with the knots. Look great, very functional. If I only used windows more......
