You could use strips of bike tube, cut them in strips, skinney strips for thin trees wider for thicker.

I purchased some at Swaynes? Nursery Dural NSW

Any of the large nursery chains should have it. Sold Packaged up in a plastic bag for a few dollars each, Dunno if Bunnings have it

I get mine at "Spotlight". It's usually down in the craft section and only a couple of dollars per pack.
