I learned about Solfa texing sticks at a workshop at CMEA by Amanda Silvestri.  The Kodaly Chapter, ROCKE, had a make and take session where you could make these, but I decided to make my own. 
I printed the solfa ladders onto a full label sheet.  I bought the full sheet labels from Office Depot.  I cut out each solfa ladder and peeled the backing off and stuck it to a jumbo size craft stick.  I painted each stick with a coating of Modge Podge to help keep them from getting smeared or dirty.  I bought the Modge Podge from Michaels. 
I made 3 different sets: drmsl, low s low la drmsl, and one that included high do.
Here is the file that includes all 3 sets.  Each page has 15 solfa ladder. 
How to use them:
Sing short melodic patterns that include the solfa pitches you are working on.  As the students echo the melody they touch the correct dot on their stick (like texting).

I have created two more sets of the solfa ladders for Solfa Texting: m-s-l and d-m-s-l.  Enjoy!
