An easy option is to go to amazon.com and get this:

It's 30 bucks, has 2 heat pads, is all pre-wired, pre-stripped, glue backed, and has free shipping if you've got prime. I use it on EasyMaker( my own 3d printer design ) with a 1 foot square 1/8" thick piece of Aluminum from onlinemetals. It heats to 60C no problem. Something smaller -- say the size of a Prusa bed -- should easily heat to 110. Mark Gantor's lab ( aka the UW Seattle 3d printer lab/research group ) has used it to heat a prusa-sized bed to 110. EasyMaker uses a square foot sized bed, which is HUGE compared to other designs -- so don't let my 60C scare you. With 1 square foot of surface area, no existing heater can get to 110C.
you get 2 heat pads -- if you've got a really small bed -- say a makerbot cupcake or other mini-sized device, you could use just one. You can also use the switch if you like -- but I just wired directly to the RAMPS board. Super-easy. Done in 5 minutes.
Also -- I've found printing ABS on 60C Aluminum that has blue tape on top works great -- no curl, and safe to touch. I even printed a large, thin, flat thing using ABS -- no problem, everything stuck great, and nothing curled. Though, I normally print with PLA, and designed the machine around PLA, 60C is fine for ABS if you use blue tape instead of kapton( from my experience ).
Hope that helps!
