I have been reading the various threads on creating a display wall using a large cardboard box, and I am all excited to get mine done.

But what size do I need to make it? I figure it can sit in front of my closet here in my small room, and the closet area is pretty big. I have cardboard that is 65 inches by 65 inches. That will fit, but will that be too big and awkward?

Do I just lean it against the closet door, or do I try to create a fold or two, like the science fair boards? Would it stand up better if it was not square?

Suggestions??? Answers?

ive seen display walls made from folding closet doors coverd with flanal. they work good no idea about cardboard

Now there is an idea. Hmmm....may need to think about that.

I recently made my display boards with poster board from staples. I got the largest I could find. Covered it with flannel. Not the same colors of course then stapled all around the edges. This works just fine for me.

And it's portable too. Light as a feather, and it can go anywhere. I'll show a picture.

Again...thanks. I hadn't thought of stapling. Hmmmmm.

Make it as big as you have room for. Mine is about 4x6, not big enough for everything. I would love to have one covering a whole wall, but that will have to wait.
