How to Make a Shirt Folding Board
You can make your own personalized shirt-folding board custom made for your size. A folding board can be made very easily at home using a piece of cardboard and some basic household tools. Never have lopsided or wrinkled shirts again. Just place the shirt folding board in the middle of your shirt, fold your shirt around it and pull it out the top by the handle.

3
Use the ruler and pen to draw a rectangular shape on the cardboard that covers the area from the top edge of the shirt, down the sides and about 6 inches from the bottom edge. Basically, create a rectangle that is the size you want the folded shirt to be.
-
4
Cut the rectangle out of the cardboard and discard the extra pieces.
-
5
Draw a small elongated rectangle about 2 inches by 8 inches at the top, short edge of the cardboard cutout. This will be the handle by which you can pull the cardboard out of the folded shirt.
-
6
Poke a hole into this elongated rectangle with the pointed scissors and cut out the shape. Discard the cutout shape.

Tips & Warnings
Wipe off any cardboard dust from the edges of the cardboard so it won’t get on your clean shirt.
Keep the flammable folding board away from irons and open flames.
