Zip ties might work also in a pinch.
I remember seeing early primitive bottle cages for sale in the bike department at Kmart.... They clamped on with a mechanism a lot like the hose clamps pictured earlier. I wanted one for my cheap hand-me-down bike but my parents wouldn't let me get one. They said I shouldn't ride so far away that I would get thirsty! Considering the support I got at home, how I managed to not give up cycling forever is a miracle.
