Does anyone know what they are called so I can search on the internet or where I can purchase these? I'm in Dallas if anyone knows a store locally that sells them. thanks

I use a small plastic cutting board with a handle - works just as well and waaaaay less expensive!

Now i feel really stupid asking that. Folding boards - duh! I did find them, but they are $10 + $7 shipping & i was just thinking if i did a lot of searching i could find them cheaper & maybe without shipping charges. At least i hope so.

And as far as the OCD, I'll tell you like my husband tells me - "if it was just you, there wouldn't be a name for it"

What a cool and obvious idea! Those would work perfect!

You lay the shirt flat, with the back facing you, then place the board on it vertically and centered on the shirt, and then you fold over the sleeves and the side of the shirt towards the center, and then flip the bottom up, flip over the whole thing, pull out the board, and, voila, folded shirt.    I hoped that makes sense. 


I have folded many a shirt with folding boards back in the day.    Nothing more satisfying than a stack of crisply folded shirts.

I just use a long clipboard from Staples. It's the perfect size AND I also use it as a clipboard when I need it.

i used to work in retail during college and we had folding boards AND clipboards we used...


you can totally use a clipboard instead of purchasing a folding board...

a clip board is great and also a piece of cardboard works well too!
