So, I was really planning out our decorating efforts this weekend and discovered that many ideas need mass amounts of cardboard (for example the Castle for the opening skit.
My questions are:
A) Do you use cardboard or some other materials for this type of thing?
AND
B) If you do where do you get it from?
Just curious! :D

I am planning on using a good bit of cardboard this year and should be able to get an ample supply from Lowes and hopefully some of the furniture stores.

We use large appliance boxes from our friendly neighborhood appliance store (yea, Armsworth's!) for all our large cardboard needs. For example, we're painting carousel animals (life-size) on cardboard, then cutting them out and mounting to PVC pipes. The appliance store is glad for us to take the boxes off their hands.

We actually buy a roll of corrugated card board... 5 ft x 250 ft...
It's great for making just about anything. We used to use paper for our back drops but this stuff is so much better.
Here is a link... The cost is reasonable but the shipping is not cheap. This place by far has the best pricing.
