You can use a GWS SF prop (http://rcelectro.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.v5.tpl&product_id=11&category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=7), make the loop out of steel wire and glue it using a drop of epoxy.
If you are very critical about weight of the prop,  cut down the extra hub on both side of the prop. To reduce more weight just sand it down with sand paper. Wont be as good as the kind of prop you have posted pictures of but it wont be that bad either and should do the job.

Hi SunLikeStar
Thanks for your reply,I am more interested in the thing which is behind prop, I have tried what you have suggested, but the rubber band force is not letting the prop to rotate.I hope yo got my point.

I am also interested to purchase those props. I have to make my own prop using various materials in absence of those. Prop adapters can be easily made by wood (I use Icecream stick & CA, you can use Balsa), wore twisting with plastic bead and two tin piece to make low friction bearings.
Sharing a few photos of my album of rubber powered models as there is no scope to upload good quality photo in this forum. All photo here should be <192kB. please forgive me for external link.

Sundar Sir,

This is regular Carrybag plastic and comes free. But I have purchased a pack to avoid dent and same dencity everywhere. But the model have several drawback. as the bamboo stick part I used gone bended, it lost level and reinforcement support is necessary I felt. Again, if bamboo is replaced with wood, it can be very rigid but become some heavy like later model. Prop also made with wood (Icecream Stick filing) and got nice performance but the prop pitch and dia have to be enlarged to get good flight-time.

Thanks for Inspiration.
