There are some things you can do to hold on to your Mini Bic such as the Keep It.
At $5, the price is a bit expensive. I use the outer shield of paracord (a few inches) and secured to the BIC with yet another length of duct tape (made skinnier than the standard 2"). The result is a loop for the keychain.
