Shirt Folder

This is my first instructable so let me know if you like it.

The Shirt Folder is a device made of cardboard (or any other firm material) that makes folding your shirts in 4 steps. Place, Fold, Fold, Fold.

With each fold it creates strait creases on the shirt reducing the amount of wrinkles.

This is a eco-friendly project.
- Recycled Material

Step 1: Gather material and tools

Before you begin you will need to collect the material and tools for this project.

Material
- Cardboard Box or Cardboard Sheets. You can get this from just about anywhere, I got mine from work. Go to a store and ask if you could have some. You will need about 2 or 3 boxes.
- Tape. This will be used as the joints. The wider the better.

Tools
- Box Knife or Scissors. You need a cutting tool. I find the box knife works best. Be careful when using sharp tools.

 or you could just fold the part of the shirt that is hanging out so it isnt out side of the panel.

[dvnfntn]

does this work with all shirt sizes?

[agnivohneb]

It should. I have 2XL shirts and they go over the edge just a bit. If you would like you could adjust the size of the panels to work with smaller or larger shirts.

Awesome, this is my first Instructable. came out great. Looks like shite, but gets the job done.

[wenpherd]

this is clever, i cant fold a shirt to save my life

Sometimes it's not the originality, it's the execution and intent. I know me, and an armload of my buds could use one or three. It's bad enough we laundry pool, but I can't stand the folding afterwards. This might make it a little more bearable.

[kjuodawlkis]

Great! I'm using all the time. blessings.

[lupin]

i love the idea and i'll have to try this myself. as others have said it's not exactly origional but it is usefull. being part packrat i think that this helps organisation and space alot.

[agnivohneb]

I know its not that original but I haven't seen anything similar on Instructables so i decided to do it.

[Stew2]

I gotta try this! I am a single pa and I absolutely suck at folding! Ty for sharing :)

[herzleid]

Nice. Unfortunately not very original. These 'folders' have been floating around the internet for a while now.

[stephenniall]

[agnivohneb]
