Brand new and high quality.Power:5 Watt 220/240v 50/60Hz.This Heat Mat is easy to use, simply plug it in and off you go.The Mat then heats the glass, which heats the sand so you can rely on it to provide the precious warmth for your reptile to lay on, allowing their temperatures to reach the optimum comfort level.This size is suitable for any enclosure.

I've never tried wrapping them up. If you try this make sure your holes in the jar lids aren't blocked.
Last winter I did put some in the oven and turned the oven light on. Worked fairly well. You want to put a thermometer in there so you can monitor the temperature. If it get's to warm crack the door just a bit.
This year I have an oil filled electric radiator heater in the grow room. It's only heating one room and it holds it right at 75F while the reset of the house is in the 60-65F. Fruiting chambers are in there. Myc is in an incubator this year and it was worth building.
Don't know if you want to go this far but the best method for colonizing myc in colder temperatures is a Tub-in-Tub incubator. Here's a link to building one:

I have heard of people using a reptile warming pad in an ice chest. I've never done this but don't see why it wouldn't work. Something like this and you may be able to find one at a local pet store:

Once again monitor your temps. If it gets too hot crack the top. If it's still too much put the heater in a cardboard box instead (not insulated as well). Play around with it and find a combination that works.
I also saw one for less than $6.00, it was 5 watts, I would think that would be enough inside an ice chest and it's got free shipping:
