Okay, while crafting the mats for 2.5 might be something to do for things, I noticed something at the local crafts store that ought to be coming down in price in a couple months.
There are the cobblestone mats that are for the various holiday villages, at the moment, most are $9.99 for a 3'x1' piece of rather sturdy material. I've used pieces of it in terrain building and table building before...it also works rather well if you prefer the 30mm bases with the rims because it's dead simple basing of just cutting a piece to fit and attaching the mini...
It holds up rather well and can easily be stashed away in a tool box for transport.

I noticed at Hobby Lobby the other day that they have rolls of textured brick and stone, for the same purpose. They were about 6" wide, don't remember how long (24"?) but it certainly wasn't long enough to justify the $10-15 price.

Now isn't the time to buy them, the best time is right after christmas when the stores try to get rid of them. There are some cheaper options that require some work such as some of the fake leather types (look for the reptile leather patterns) or the basketball texture that's of a similar material. You might need to use some weights to keep it flat for a while though and they need paint, but they're extremely durable
