| The only trouble with elastic is that it perishes after a while, especially when in contact with moisture and so your ties will get slack.
Maybe something easily replaceable though like the elasticated straps that you can buy to hold spactacles on your head for sports and the like. Any opticians will have some and they are pretty cheap. They even come with an adjustment that you may be easily able to convert to look like a ratchet strap.
