WalMart and various craft stores have 2mm thick self adhesive foam
sheets that can be used for the side wraps. Depending on the rest of
your materials you may need one or two layers. Its EVA foam and should
hold up quite well.

The *WalMart *stores around here carry two brands and sizes.

WalMart
There is the Big Value! 12
<http://www.scabrewer.com/scafiles/Joannfoamie1-sm.jpg> package of 12
sheets sized 9" X 12" that costs $4.99 a pack.

There is the Big Value Pack
<http://www.scabrewer.com/scafiles/Michaelsfoamie2-sm.jpg> but this
time with only 30 sheets 6" X 9" that costs $4.99 a pack.
There is the Big Value! 12
<http://www.scabrewer.com/scafiles/Michaelsfoamie1-sm.jpg> package of
12 sheets sized 9" X 12" that costs $4.99 a pack. Same as Joanns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your mileage may wary. This is just a quick survey of selection and
prices at easy to find stores in the Houston area for the foams that are
suitable for the side wraps.
The same stores also carry the non-adhesive sheets which are a little
less expensive and they also carry single sheets and larger single sheets.
In the non-adhesive single sheet selection Joanns also carries the
thicker stock in 3mm and 6mm if you needed a little more thickness and
only wanted to make a single layer wrap.
