Default Printing on Spaghetti Straps / Platen help..

I just got my shipment from Alternative Apparel for some nice supersoft Spaghetti Straps.. problem is they are so small that If I attempt to fit them over my regular size platens, they will stretch BIG TIME..

Now instead of going to the hardware store and ghetto-rigging a new platen, does anyone else recommend an alternative? I thought about cutting out cardbard to the exact size.. but I tested the cardboard out before I started to print and it got hot under the flash cure unit and burned.. lol.. scratch that idea...

Well anyways.. thanks for the help in advance.. im sure its easier than I think it is..

Buy youth pallets!

or goto Lowes and buy some MFD board and make sure to router the edges and sand the pallet.
