You can make loops with each leftover piece and sew them inside a seam. Somewhat like the loop on a pot holder (although I would not use them for a pot holder!) I could see a small wall hanging having a loop at each end at the top and using that to hang it on an ornamental hanger. Also, could be loops on a small fabric basket.
I think you can also buy additional pulls, but don't know how much that would cost.

You can buy extra zipper tabs to put on it....use it as trim....make a flower....put it in the trash!! I don't worry about it because I buy my zippers in large quantities so it does not bother me when I cut them....just toss them in the trash.
you can buy zipper repair kits at places like Joann, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc. They only cost a couple of dollars and have pulls in them. Just add a pull to your leftover length and use in a project. I think that would be less expensive than buying a new 14" zipper which is what you have if you cut 8 inches off a 22 inch zipper. It is kinda tricky getting a pull onto the teeth of a zipper, there is a you tube video out there that shows the trick in doing it.
If you really like the look of this zipper (metal teeth, interesting texture, oversized teeth, etc), use it as a trim somewhere on a bag or pillow... if it's just a ordinary nylon type, why sweat it? Toss it
