this was easy, tried it, but the melted beads broke loose ten times. is there any other way we can have that string without need to melt the paracord at the ends.

Hi another option instead of melting the end of the cord is to tie a knot (either type) directly on each end of the cord. This knot then acts as the ‘bead’. Pull the rubber tube over this knot and tie a second knot to secure it.

TBH this looks too much under-powered compared to using flatbands. And there's no much room for attaching multiple tube bands.
