How to Make A Sandwich Board
You can make a quick and easy sandwich board for your business or yard sales. It measures 2 feet x 2 feet. The materials can be found at any hardware store. I made this sandwich board partially out of recycled wood from a pallet. I used it to advertise my yard sales. Everything can be adjusted according to your needs and materials you have on hand.
