If you would really want to, you can make them at home. The process isn't to difficult. The tubes are grown using a metal catalyst and a carbon containing gas (CO or easier, methane).
The catalyst is made by impregnating a carrier (e.g silica) with a Ni salt. Heat it up and send a mix of N2/He/Ar + CO/CH4 over it.
Maybe a bit dangerous to di it at home, but you could ask your chemistry teacher :-) (he should also be able to find some articles with a more correct way of making them %)
