Wendy:Before it was suggested that a fisherman's knot be used to attch the bungee to the backup reg, but now I think it is common practice to use a second zip tie (the first ziptie holds the mouth piece on to the reg, the second one to secure the bungee). Just knot each end of the bungee and zip tie it (the knots keep the bungee from getting pulled under the ziptie).
MonkSeal:Thanks, but most pictures are not shown and links doesn't work (Error 404 page not found).
OneBrightGator:Double Fisherman's Knot:

Put the mouthpiece of the reg between the two knots and pull them together closing around the base of the mouthpiece.
Zipties are an instrument of the devil.
