I don't know of anyone that sells them. You can make your own 
though. They are in the file section under piecepack accessories. I 
recommend you print them out in color on white card stock. I usually 
use a medium card stock.
Here are some tricks that I have used when I made up several sets 
for gifts. I cut the paper so it is on 6 sections first. Each 
section has 4 pyramids of 1 size in it. I then use a small metal 
ruler and a mouse pad to make the fold lines in the card stock 
before I complete the cut process. Place the paper graphic side up 
on the mouse pad and place the edge of the ruler along the fold line 
and press down to create a fold line. After I have made the fold 
lines I then finish cutting out the pyramids. I finish by gluing 
them together using a glue stick. If you have a pointed letter 
opener (or something similar) you can get inside the pyramid to 
press the flaps together to make the glue stick better. I still have 
some sets left over that I had copied in color on card stock if you 
are interested in them. If anyone is interested in a set let me know 
(off list). I will mail one out (already cut into six sections so I 
can get it into an envelope) for a $1(to cover costs). You have to 
do the rest of the work.
P.S. An old 35mm plastic film container is great for storing a 
complete set.
