I suspect what you bought is not waterproof. That is why it stretched out.
Try looking at a Google search of "plastic mesh"... I did a quick one and only found expensive stuff.
There are nylon screens made you know for windows, in the hardware departments. That might work for you, without cutting you up.
They use these for window screens when metal types are not wanted. I don't think they are expensive at all. But I'd wash them before using for food purposes. Who knows what might be on them from the factory etc. ???
Here is a trivia factoid. You know what is used to screen urine for kidney stones/crystals? PantyHose!

I googled nylon mesh and I got more confused than I normally am. Some mentioned PVS's. I said "oh my".
And there are no hardware stores near me where anyone speaks english. I'm trying to imagine going in and asking for nylon mesh. You should have seen when I went in and tried to find a towel rod for my bathroom. You know the one I am talking about? It's a clear plastic pole that you can file down and it replaces a broken towel rack in the bathroom.
Well, one day I marched in to the hardware store and simply asked "Do you sell Towel Rods?" I was met with a quizzicle stare. Then I said "Towel Racks?" Again, no answer. The guy didn't speak one word of english.
This is exactly what I did (get your kleenix ready because you'll laugh so hard you will blow your nose).
I went over to the toilet seat on the wall, took it down, placed it on the counter, made believe I went to the bathroom, walked over to a make-believe sink, made believe I was washing my hands, went over to the make-believe towel rack and I threw my hands up and my eyes went wild and I made a gesture as if to say "WHERE'S THE TOWEL RACK", and the guy got all excited and said "Ah!!!!" and took me to the back of the store and THERE WAS MY TOWEL RACK.
True story.
Alan nearly fell off the chair when I came home and told him what I did.
BUT I GOT MY TOWEL ROD..
Remind me sometime to tell you how I got them to show me where the light bulbs were.
