Just buy some quality zip ties. Just go to any business electrical store and buy some thomas&betts zipties. Up until recently I was working for a telephone company, some zip ties were more than 30 years old in plain sun and they were still strong, they weren't as shiny as new one but they were still really strong. These will probably cost you more than 25c each. You wouldn't believe what I've done with these that's still holding 4-5 years later.
