I have also found an inexpensive solution if the tape isn't available local. Try the closest party store or check in the gift wrap section at WalMart / KMart. Look for "holographic" tissue paper. It comes in sheets about 12" x 24" and can be cut in strips and applied with 3M 77 or double stick mounting tape. Don't go too heavy on the spray adhesive though, it can "crinkle" up the tissue a bit, but it works well. I believe I got 2 large sheets for about $1.99.
