When I've needed string for a houseplant or something, I've twisted together a bunch of those paper-covered wire twisty ties, having been unable to find regular old string (like kite string.) There's something comforting about a ball of string, to me. That might be because I remember a book about a kid who was sick and home in bed and rigged up his whole room with string and I think some kind of pulley system so anything he needed he just pulled the right string and VOILA. (Never mind all the jumping around he did getting everything in place.)
