or failing that, check out your local pet store for clear
plastic tubing used
for aquariums...

or, buy a right angle brace for making wooden window
screens... slide one end under the strings, and pop it up against
the strings from the bottom.
check out a Medical supply store for rubber tubing...
and most preposterous of all....
Mike Lilly, then banjo player for Larry Sparks at a Bluegrass
Festival
in Ohio in the 70s told me and some other folks who were
talking to
him that Larry discovered how to use a capo by swinging his
guitar
around and accidentally getting it up against a door jamb which
raised the pitch of the strings and clued him into the fact
that a capo
would do the same thing.. and he did it with a straight
face...
sigh-h-hhh
no we all didn't run out and buy door jambs.... : > )
