This lanyard is a great for those who can't seen to keep their hands still. Cheap, customizable, and looks good. This could also be for those who need a fidget toy, yet don't want to catch every eye. Simply zip or play with the zipper pull at times of anxiety.

Take the end without the zipper tag, and slip the ring on.
Fold the end over and glue.
Hold until it stays.
*** glue only the tips, don't catch the ring in the glue ***

Lay out zipper with a twist so I may lay comfortably on your neck. Trim the end of the zipper as close as possible to the end. After, singe with a lighter to prevent fraying. Unzip slightly, position ends to your liking. Glue, not close to teeth, onto the previously glued end. Is using a clip, place it and wait for it to be dry.
All Done
