I was thinking about trying to make one myself. I have a case of
rolled paper tape. Any chance you could share a picture or two?
The other thought I had was to shear fan-fold printer paper into
narrow strips, but the paper shear I have access to is not
sufficiently precise to get a consistent tape width.

what about
fan-fold paper tape?
I made a "machine" that is able to fanfold paper tape. Yes, but....
currently only something like a
proof of concept. It worked too unprecisely by far. It needs to be
reconstructed using precision components instead of a mixture of pneumatics,
a stepper motor, and handcrafted wooden parts :-)
