Alternative to Using Lids for Birthed Cakes

As I prepare to birth my 10 BRF jars, I want to reuse the jars for a second go around. So, I'll won't be able to birth my jars on top of them.
I've search through dozens of posts about this but I'm still a little unclear on what else I could use. I heard so guy say he uses foil. I don't plan on birthing right on top of the perlite b/c of the risk of contam's, pinning from the bottom, etc.
So what else can I use besides foil. I was trying to think of something practical that I have laying around the house (a piece of Tyvek? I got plenty of that). I'm just trying to avoid going out and having to buy plastic lids or keeping my 1/2 pint jar unproductive during fruiting.
Thanks fellow Shroomheads.

Go to the grocery store and buy a new box of lids. It costs about 3 dollars. Comes with a dozen rings and a dozen lids. Problem solved.

Or make casings with your cakes, leaving the jars free! Better flush anyways.

Go and pick up some of these

I got them from a garden shop , 5 cents a piece .
Worked great when I did cakes . Fill them with some damp verm.
They space the cakes apart just right
