Comic Book Boards or Extenders are thin boards placed into comic books before they are placed into plastic bags that a seller would display them in for sale.

Dimensions
- Size 7 1/4 x 10

*Certified Acid Free - Independent Lab Tested

200 Boards per Pack for $11.00

Keep in mind these are far too flimsy (only 10 Mil) to fold fabric onto, but they will cover the green cardboard of file hangers so the fabric can be safely draped over the metal bars and would be a great application here. You could cut the green folder from the fold to about 5" even and fold the comic board over the top...
maybe add a bit of spray adhesive or glue stick to affix them to the remaining green cardboard.

Just remember to tape them to fit lengthwise, but keep the tape on the underside to protect fabric from even the tape.

They sell them here:

When we moved to the apt. I was really in trouble for fabric space. Hubby was driving past a yard sale and spotted a 4-drawer file cabinet. Got it for $2.50. Boy does it hold a lot of fabric. Since then I have had to find space for the stacked see-thru drawers and now am going to get some more. This has got to end sometime. Don't bank on it. LOL Marge L

This one is somewhat small...I've already purchased another one from Craig's list. A legal sized one that will hold about 3 times as much as this one!
