Also try hobby stores. They have small sheets (~4"X6") of copper, brass
and aluminum that you can cut into strips.  The display also has small
pieces of tubing as well. And possibly shops that specialize in model
trains.

I have found it at our local farm supply (Wilco) as well. If you have a
Cenex in your area try them too.

I have been using copper flashing from Home Depot.  They will cut just
what 
you need, like a 12"x12" piece.  Then bring it home and make strips with
tin 
snips.
