I've been drawn to the different "boards" that are out there where you wrap the fabric around the board. To me, they're a bit pricey if you consider 100 or more of them at 50 cents or so each. I'd rather use the money to grow my stash.

Anyway, a while back my girlfriend gave me some 22x28 chipboard that she had. It worked out great. Yesterday, I placed an order to www.dickblick.com for the chipboard. I ordered 25 sheets and with standard shipping of $7.99 my order vame to $22.79. Do the math. I will get 8 6x11 boards from each sheet which figures out to be 91 cents a sheet and 8 boards a sheet, I will get 200 boards at 11 cents each. I'd attach a photo, but I don't know how to get it off my Blackberry!!
Just make sure anything you use to wrap your fabrics around is acid free and dye free. I just use the ruler fold method which doesn't add any extra bulk and then I can save that money for more fabric. :roll:
