You know, if old-fashioned mucilage glue is still available (remember glass 
bottle with the red rubber tip with the slot in it from grade school?), it 
should be easy to choose a paper or papers of appropriate thickness, spread 
the glue on it, let dry, and then chop to size.

I still have about 1/2 roll of the old brown packing tape, and some old 
postage stamp ends and margins. But stamps now are all that self-adhesive 
type. My feeling is that the old water-based stickum is more stable over 
time, and less likely to fall off when one removes shanks for repinning, etc.
