I have a number of zippers which, while perfectly serviceable, have
lost the little puller that allows you to pull the zip open or closed
easily. I've replaced a couple of these with paper clips but these
aren't ideal really as they're not quite stiff/strong enough.

Has anyone got any ideas for alternatives to paper clips which would
be cheap and easy to implement? The zippers in question are quite
small, the original pullers were about 1cm diameter disks in one case
and the more normal rectangular piece of metal (10mm x 5mm ??) in the
other.

Replacing the zippers isn't really an option, it would be very
difficult to do well.

If you have kids, or young nieces or nephews, ask them about
"scoobies".
