Upcycle political signs to jump filler!

Now that the election is over, do you have some large political signs to dispose of?  Here is a handy upcycled use I found for them, which actually holds up for quite a while.

Fold into tent / coop shape, then cover with shower curtain or tablecloth.  You can screw 2x4 boards into the base if you wish to make it a little more sturdy and less likely to blow over in the wind.

These PVC or vinyl panels are available at places such as Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowes.  They came up in a search for "decor screen", so hard to say how sturdy they are, but they look like they would be super easy to attach to a long board plank to act as a wider plank or a filler:

They also come in a couple different colors, although generally that is limited to shades of brown, black, and white.

Along those lines, another search for "decorative panel" came up with these that look a bit sturdier (or at least I am more confident they would stand up to outdoor use:

 I came across this recipe recently and just made it today. Tasty!
