Default Vendor for rubber tubing for bracelets?

Hi All
I have been volunteered to make 26 bracelets for secreatary's day this year. I'm looking for some simple rubber tubing that I can either string a wire through or attach some kind of ends to and make into inexpensive bracelets with a lampwork bead on each. I've searched but didn't find anything. Can anyone suggest a good vendor that carries the tubing and findings?
I'm looking for something like this. This was made my CrystalFlipz. TIA.

Ah thanks Beth. Can you recommend the size of tubing you like to use?
Is there a way to attach say like magnetic ends or findings to these?

Just glue end caps to the rubber for the bracelets. I have found that magnets will only hold if the bracelet is light weight. Use a more substantial clasp for the lampworked bead bracelets.

Also try:

She has every color of the tubing you can think of, and it's really good stuff. I'm developing a bit of a tubing addiction!

The my elements tubing is nylon blend according to the description. I've used it and love it. Yvonne at MyElements is awesome to work with…great products too.
