You can try with a material from reflective jacket.

It's called retroreflective tape.

This is best material for reflecting light back to the camera.

Off line Www

You know, it is the strip which are on the jackets of the guys who work around the steets/roads. It reflects cars' light.

It might be easier for us to help if we knew in which country you live ;)
But generally, you can easily get reflective tape on ebay and similar sites:

Besides 3M,  there are also reflective materials manufactured by LG available.

So it seems that ebay is not an option. But you might try visiting some local shops with bicycle accessories and try grabbing a safety vest there - they usually have reflective stripes as didja mentioned, something like this (one of the first images that popped up in a google image search)
