I saw a recent post somewhere and they talked about cutting sign board into pieces to wrap fabric around to organize. The large size was 7 1/2 x 11 3/4 and the small size was 4 x6 1/2. It sounds like a great idea but I don't know where I can purchase the plastic sign board. Any suggestions??
Thanks!

Call a local sign shop?

The ones I've seen online are called "coroplast" or something.
I think its short for "corrogated plastic".
You could try doing a search that way with your zipcode.
I wonder if DIY stores like Lowes or Home Depot sell it?

I went to freecycle in my area and found a lady who had 75 of them cut into a good sized sign. They are great and it didn't cost me anything but gas to pick them up.

Unless you can find them in bulk very cheap or free, the sign board is expensive.

Actually if you do a google search you'll get lots of places to buy coroplast. I found it for 1.05 for a 24X18 inch sheet. You do have to buy 10 sheets at once and you'd need the cutter.
