I wish I could post a picture but alas I have hid my camara from myself. It was very easy to make.

I cut a piece of plywood 24x60, (Measure your ironing board and the place you will have it set up for YOUR measurements that fit for you. I think others have made them 22x60.) I laid my ironing board on top and nailed 4 short pieces of 2x2 on all 4 sides of the ironing board so that it fit snug, but not tight. I turned it right side up and put 2 layers of batting on it and stretched and stapled it down with a staple gun, mitering the corners.

Then I put a piece of duck cloth on and stapled it down the same way. I think you could use any type of cotton for the covering. I just had duck cloth that I wasn't using so that is what I made the top cover from.

Believe me, the hardest part was using the circular saw out in the hot barn!!! And since I already had everything, it cost me nothing. This was not a new piece plywood. I had to sweep all the cobwebs, dust and dirtdobber's nests off of it before cutting it and bringing it in the house! Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more info.
