It seems I am different! I have my fabrics folded & lay them, stacked, sorted by color etc., in closed shelves or drawers.
However, I can see it would be more convenient if they were folded in a uniform manner. Am I the only one
that does this?

It should work okay, but only if you wrap your red fabric around the Republican ones and your blue fabric around the Democratic ones. Actually, here in Northern California, I may even find some Green ones, and the folks in New England may find a few yellow ones (or at least that was the color the news was using for independants last night.

Sounds like a very unhappy voter. LOL. We just had a civic election, & I phoned to ask where I could drop it off or if they'd pick it up or could I just destroy it. They left a message on my machine, "I could also just use it for a craft." When I came home somebody had taken mine, or tossed it in the garbage.

I have used those boards for years. I get them when the election is over and that helps clean up the roadway. I cut them in to 9x11 pieces and wrap material around them. Because of the 9 inch side, 4 times around the board equals a yard of material and it is easy to count how much yardage you have.

Signs around here are made of thin plastic sheet stuff, not the corrugated. I've been thinking of cutting up the wire stakes, though, to make new hoops for our croquet set. We have lost some and the wire on the signs I have are actually better quality than the old croquet hoops. I also wish they would come get them. Otherwise, I plan to take 'em to recycling. Had windows installed by Home Depot and they also left a sign in our lawn. That one I plan to return next time I go there, as I don't want it around.

but then you have to pay $8 for shipping, at least when i looked into them. but that's still cheaper than what i did. i just went to the sign making store, and bought the 4x8' sheets then cut them down. sorta expensive, at like $16 a sheet, but my fabric got organized. at least most of it.
