My fear would be putting a rivet thru any kind of rubber or silicone tubing will rip out in short order. I think wrapping several winds of a strong thread would work better. JMHO:dunno:

the wrapping is how slingshots are done, with bands or tubes.

Here's a finished one with the tubing I linked in the Amazon link.  I think it looks pretty good for the application and so far seems like it will get the job done.  I used double cap rivets to secure it.  I'll see how it holds up over time.
