I just tied a knot as you guessed. I put some silicone sealer on the knot and then pulled it up though the hole with a string. I made it sort of tight fit so it took a good pull to get them through.
As for rope, I wanted parachute cord but didn't have any. Found this nylon at a hardware store and the color went with my purple hull. I was at an outdoor store this weekend and found some parachute cord that would look good. It is more subtle purple. Might replace them this winter.
I was going to do nylon straps but the idea of cutting all those slots didn't appeal me and I couldn't see an major advantage of rope. It was easy, quick and cheap. And looks fine to me.
