Default RE: Making combat ribbons, FAST!

How do I get pre-rolled streamers, never heard of them? I measure by having 27' marked out on my garage floor. My wife holds one end and we roll out the 27' then I put one end to the drill bit and wind them up while she gets the next one ready to unroll. Using the 81' crepe paper gives you the last 27' pre-rolled. The end of the ribbon then has 2'' of packing tape applied, a hole punched and the string ties on in a manner that won't untie. I don't like getting my plane up and having all my targets ribbonless. In our foggy area the biggest hassle is wet grass from the fog and ribbons that self destruct immedialty. I will look into the pre-rolled ones if I can get the website. Thanks.
