I may have some for you. How long do you need them to be? I have some with just dots and some with just words. Interested? (have some with both!) PM your addy if you want them.
While on the subject of what to do with them - years ago I rolled them into balls (using fabric glue where necessary to hold them down) and put them in a wooden bowl on the table. Looked pretty. A friend makes them for her cat to play with.
