It's a cord lock for something like a drawstring.
Like this
Cord Locks for your boot laces, you'll never tie boots again

Disclaimer: I have used this method to keep combat boots tied and tight for the last 12 years of a military career, this is a tip for anyone that wants to make their life significantly easier during airsoft while running around in combat boots.
Step 1: Grab a set of Cord locks from anywhere (ebay, amazon, random gear)
I like using these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FH9DYU6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Step 2: Take the laces and feed them through the clip and tie a knot on the end of each lace
Step 3: Put foot in boot, tighten cord locks down to comfortable point of boots
Step 4: Wrap the laces around the back of the boot and around the cord lock
Step 5: Make the laces taut and tuck the ends or what’s left over into the boots
Step 6: Enjoy a day of running around without worrying about your boots coming undone
Side note: Sometimes the laces will get a little slack in them but your boots will remain tight on your feet, when they get slack, just make them taut again and tuck back into boot
Edit: damn auto correct!
I wear the pace rival crops and I love them, mine don’t slip but I did buy a size down. In the past before I sized down, I used those plastic spring cord lock things on the drawstring instead of tying it in a knot. I get the flat ones and they don’t bother me at all during the workout. You can find them on amazon or probably in a craft store.

Here's a bunch and also I found some on Amazon
I just looked for cord end cap :) ETA actual search term: "end caps for sweater cords"
Yes, REI does as well. The common name for them is cord locks.
Plastic Cord Locks End Spring Stop Toggle Stoppers Multi-colour (10PCS, Black)
Mine barrel for the back also broke first try. I wound up buying some barrel adjusters with a clip on one end to run through the loop the old one used. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Paracord-Planet-Cylinder-Cord-Locks/dp/B07P8SM6Q9
it goes on a jacket or something like it at the end of a string.

It could go on anything that uses a string to pull something closed.
I use a couple of these for tightening the string, I don't have to mess with the rods.

I use my laces with the little lace lock clamps. The elastics tend to get too tight for me

Replace it with any sort of cord or string. Cut to suit and tie off.
If you want to go all the way you can buy some toggles or clippy cord end things.
I don't like the elastic glove cords (too bouncy) so I replaced mine with paracord.
> 5). Don't wear anything with spikes.
im making a denim vest with the little square pyramid studs on it for the show right now lol
>10). They say keep your wristband on for the duration of the festival, but honestly if you leave it a little loose you can manage to get it on and off at the beginning and end of the day.
COUGHCOUGH
Get some cord locks like these
Set up a few along the length of the wire and move them back as you go. If you do it right it should keep everything in line pretty well.
Maybe these then?
Go to your local fabric store and buy a yard of rip-stop nylon for around $5 and a cordlock (or this kit from ripstopbytheroll). If you don't already have one yourself, find a friend or relative that has a sewing machine. Watch this video. In about 20 minutes, you will be the proud owner of a brand new stuff sack that is exactly the right size (with that yard of fabric you can actually make a few stuff sacks!). Then post a picture of your creation over on /r/MYOG and prepare for the onslaught of karma you will receive for your amazing creation!
Target has Cat & Jack pants with a drawstring waistband that fit my scrawny 5 year old. I've also been using plastic cord locks to keep drawstrings tight, which has worked wonderfully. They're not always easy to get on, but it's very much worth the hassle.
The design is based on the Mamut grip so the installation process is the same:

You will also need these plastic cord lock: https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Toggle-Stopper-Fastener-Toggles/dp/B06X186F7F/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=plastic+cord+lock&qid=1559136116&s=gateway&sr=8-9

Pig nose cordlock is what you're looking for. There are a bunch of different brands and sizes though.
You can always DIY some. I think you could do it with some paracord and some cord locks (like these), with perhaps a dab of glue on the knot to keep it from coming out.
These are the laces:

I’m guessing the one in pic is 2 inches long. So far I have found some that are close to 1 inch long.
Try a cord lock on your dice bag, like this or this.
