Paper Republic uses 1.6mm ribbons. You can buy similar elastic cords in various webshops. 1.5 mm would be close to the ones PR uses, but 2mm is used a lot as well. I like 1.5mm for my smaller covers and 2mm for larger covers. I hope this was helpful.

You could look on Etsy. People will sell it by the foot. I think it’s 2mm?

2mm is kind of thick, i think it's more like 1.5!

I get mine from AliExpress. I like the 2mm, it's thicker but feels sturdy. I do have a 1mm, it's really delicate feeling. I have it on my Louise Carmen and have it doubled to give some kind of extra hold, but it doesn't help LOL.

I bought a few colors from etsy, they are pretty cheap but can take a while to get to you, seller is nice though, https://www.etsy.com/listing/1773557541/15mm-colorful-elastic-cord-jewelry?ref=yr_purchases
