Do you have any inner tubes that you had a blow out that you can't patch? If you do, there is your rubber source.
If you do not have any tubes that you want to use a scissors on, next time you are in a bike shop, ask a mechanic if you can have a blown out tube out of their garbage bin. If they look at you with an odd look, just tell them size does not matter, you want to use it to make some rubber bands, and tell them the thicker the better.
Most of my sensors are attached with zip ties, not with a stretchy band.
