Thank you for the instruction- the Dollar Tree eggs is a GREAT idea!

Thank you for directing me to your tutorial for this very cost-effective and convenient mini-ironing board. I was at the Dollar Tree last week but will visit again with a mission to purchase what I need to make this great tool.

Thank you very much.. I'll send you a picture of my finished project.

I made 4 of these ironing boards. I love them. I gave 3 away!!!

I need to stop watching these tutorials. There's not enough time in the day! 🤣🤣 Seriously though, thank you! I've just recently started sewing again (by no means do I know what I'm doing). I really enjoy your videos. I plan to make this, but first have another I'm working on, then making your memory game. THEN this one. Wish you could perfect the idea I'm working on. I haven't seen anything like it, so I'm making it up as I go. Imagination without knowledge of how to follow through. 😉

A 1' x 18" x 18" ( a one inch thick eighteen inch round disk) made of Laminated Spruce/Pine round panel is made by The Craft Master's. I bought mine from a local hardware/lumber store. I use these wooden 18 inch disks to turn my tall laundry baskets into round tables. The whole thing (basket and disk) can be hidden under round table clothes (to look like round end tables). These disk do cost more than a dollar; but, they are so much stronger, thicker, and will last a lot longer. You could cover the disk with heavy aluminum foil (shinny side up) to keep dampness away from the wood; then, pad the top with two layers of proper batting, make a cover to fit (as per your wonderful instructions), and use it as a round ironing board when and where needed. I bought my tall laundry baskets from The Family Dollar store. I have been using mine for over 12 years. Thank you for this wonderful idea of how to get more use out of those round wooden disk. Please stay safe.

Nice thought of a small portable ironing board.

Hello, I've made a few full sized ironing board covers in my time. Here's my other tips that you might try for yourself. 1. I would sand down the wooden edges of any board shape used. It may be die cut but a rounded not squared off edge would be softer on fabric over time. 2. I would spray baste the batting, towelling or insulbrite or whatever you use to each other, especially if more than a single layer. I've never has a problem with poly cotton 80/20 batting if it's not right under another surface. I just don't have 100 percent cotton batting available due to cost. Another option would be to actually sew any layers together with quilting stitching. It depends if you prefer a perfectly flat surface. Fold up metallic travel ironing mats are quilted and work great too. Hence another option for under your feature fabric. 3. My mum used to make hers wirh a casing for elastic and tie it off before tucking it into the hole of the casing. This is one solution for those without a serger/overlocker machine. If the elastic fails over time or you have an unfortunate spill on your fabric it's an easy change over for either the elastic or the fabric. I would use two layers of fabric as if reversible wirh a casing it's an easy flip over to extend the life of your cover. 4. My last full sized cover came with a string tie, so I did a casing and reused the same string tie. Same possibility with elastic. The tie supplied had a plastic wedge with notches. Much like you see in camping stores for tents and guywires. So don't limit your search to thrift stores for inspiration. 5. Old pillowcases and quilt covers can make great fabric sources for these home ironing boards. It doesn't have to be yardage even if not expensive. I am an advocate for #notextilewaste and the #environment. 6.I hope any of these tips might have uses for anyone watching the video here. Some things may take longer or use more resources but usually without too much additional cost for equally great results. Happy sewing Anita Southall Harris BEYONDAWESOMEDESIGNS

Another good ironing board idea for anyone who is looking would be those folding TV tray tables ! You can find those in good will too

Good tips for this project, Thanks 💕

Hello, I made this project and loved it. Gave it as a gift. Receiver loved it.

Very clever! It is perfect, throw it in a tote bag and go to a quilt class!🤗(when we start having classes again)

Definitely use a ruler when using rotary cutter. Great diy!

So cute and convenient

I must admit the practical side of your wealth of knowledge and skills is truly delightful, which will cause me to shop better. Your tutorials are very clear and informative. 👌

Thank you for showing how to make an inexpensive ideal shaped mini ironing board and portable, too. I am finding your tutorials extremely knowledgeable and love the way you combine buying and selecting thrift sewing notions. A great share. 👌💐

Can't wait to make a round ironing board with on of my cake boards! Great video.

Tks for sharing this with us

I saw on another ironing board video that the crafter covered a board with a couple of layers of aluminum foil, then 2 layers of cotton batting, then the cover, said that the shiny side of the foil reflected the heat of the iron back toward the fabric, which made the board more effective and also kept the board from steam warping. Sounds logical. I'm assuming Insil-Brite does exactly the same thing? I really like this inexpensive ironing board project and will be making one or two for my sewing/craft room! What was holding me back was the expense of buying 2 pieces of thicker wood and shelling out $15 or so. Thanks for another great video project, Tracy!!!! BTW: My broken cutting board is the crumb catcher under my toaster. :-)

Thats the best and way less expensive! Thank you!!

I’m so making one of these❤️

I often wondered if those would work. Great idea using two. I myst try this now. May even add feet. Thanks tor sharing.

Great idea for doll clothes! Thanks.

So awsome love this, only thing I'll do different is make the fabric larger so I can hem it to hide the elastic. Great video helped me out, and most wonderful is can make it any shape or size too

You continue to be a GENIUS Tracy!! Thanks for sharing!!🤗

I love it!

Clever & thoughtful!!!

I’m definitely going to make a few of these. To the Dollar Tree I go!

Thank you very much. I’m gonna try to make one of those. I don’t think I’ll get anything oval now, but hey pumpkin shake might be cute. Hey another question how about putting aluminum foil on top of the oval shape before you put the bedding and stuff down? Pam.

Great idea...a must have for me to use as I Epp lots of little hexigon shapes....Thank you.

That shape is even better than round. Thanks!

Love it!!! Will definitely make one!!!

Love this, will have to make some. Thank you so much for the great instructions.

I love this so much!

Thank you! What a great idea.

Love it Thank You 🙏/ Gisela in Sweden 🇸🇪

Great idea. So creative. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! This was a great tutorial!

Excellent idea!!

Brilliant idea, going to do this

I love it! I'm going to try this 👍 Thank you Happy Valentine's Day

This was so helpful!

That was brilliant ,what a fabulous idea💕

Interesting

Your so awesome! What a great idea 💡

I love this idea, and if not to thin some push pins for legs.

last comment I promise this is going to inspire me to make the big ironing board one tired of the string wrestling

That was amazing!

I watched this as it was one you recommended on the screen after another of your videos. As much as I love this idea, my question is, do you find you get condensation underneath the particle board? I ask as I use the pure wool pressing mats next to my sewing machine and often find condensation forming from the heat of the iron, regardless of whether I use steam or not. Thanks for sharing this project and I look forward to making one. Cheers 😀👋🇦🇺

What an awesome idea. Now would you be able to put this on to that round cutting board base will this fit on that? I happen to have that same circular rotating mat that you have. Thanks for this cheap tip.

My hardwood cutting board broke like that too and the thinner piece became my first tailor's clapper. I just put some black electrical tape over the broken edge but I guess I could've sanded it down 😂. Anyway, I still use it today even though I eventually purchased a real clapper. I also like to replace ironing board covers once they start looking a little run down.

Once the fabric is on the board, would spritzing with water, then ironed, shrink it a little for a tigher fit?

Reminds me of the old toilet lid covers that came in a bath mat set. 😜

Great idea! Can you use spray adhesive on the batting for an easier fit?

Is there a certain way you place the insul bright? Is there a right or wrong side to it?

Could youo put in a layer of wool???

What was the actual length of the elastic after you snapped it around? Thanks

You know if you can find food oil-friendly you can save your wooden and bamboo utensils and cutting boards.
