I would say get some butcher's twine, but if you don't have toothpicks, you probably don't have butcher's twine. You could try bamboo skewers. Don't you have any friends nearby who could help you out with a quick trip to the store? Or, why not ask a neighbor if they have any tooth pics? It's a fairly common item I would think that someone would have them on hand. Do you have any chopsticks on hand? That might work. You could also call a Chinese place that delivers and ask for lots of extra chopsticks.
Good luck and Happy V-day!

Do you have any shish kebob skewers? Could you ask your neighbors and tell them you'll replace their box? Is there a bar or restaurant near you that you can walk to and offer to buy a handful?
Just some random ideas.

Try thread.
sewing thread-white...see if that works
Good luck!
Also you can say a prayer to Saint Anthony to find your tooth picks.

Back in the old days they often used needle and thread. Un dyed thread would be best.
