Broken Zip

Part of the Furniture 500 Posts Combo Breaker
in Old style MoneySaving
The zip on one of my jumpers has broken. The zip itself is fine just the puller part (the bit you hold).

Is there a cheap way of repairing this without resorting to a safety pin!
Do shops sell replacement pullers?

Thanks
SB

    Do you have an old keyring lying about? The basic ring that you attach your key to can be attached to the zip in place of the puller.

    It's only a game

    Do you meen the little tag part of the zipper that you hold onto has pulled off? If so could you thread a small ribbon through or similar and maybe add a couple of beads....
