Whenever I purchase Halos Mandarins and Babybel Cheese Wheels I save the nets they're packaged in.
These nets can be cut into square or rectangular pieces that can be used in the sandtray for themes of trapping and containing.
Let me show you what they look like when you cut them apart and how clients might use them.

This is a cake pan that can be used for a small individual sandtray. It measures roughly 9 x 11 inches.
I filled it with Malt-O-Meal as I was at home and not at the office so I didn't have any sand available.
You can see that from the two net bags I was able to cut four small, square pieces of netting. You could also just cut each bag in half and you would have two larger rectangular sized nets.

Here's an example of how a client might use pieces of netting in a sandtray.
It might be used to trap someone or something such as a bully or a villain so that they feel protected, safe and in control.
Sometimes clients might use netting to contain themselves from being impulsive or from engaging in self-destructive behaviors.

I always have pieces of netting on hand for clients to use. Cutting apart food nets makes affordable, actually FREE sandtray miniatures, and since we're not throwing away the netting it's also environmentally friendly. Have you re-purposed food nets like this and if so, how are they being used?
