You could also make thin wood bushings on a pen mandrel if you have a lathe and pen making stuff.
I have done something similar before using the shavings from a plane then after building it up a bit put it on a dowl and spun it in a drill to thickness it. Worked well but the trick was getting it square enough in the drill to make it effectively round and not eccentric.
