I made an ironing pad from fabric and Insu-Bright batting. I finished off the edges (so at this point it is just like your ironing pad). I then sewed straps to one side and d rings to the other side. Pass the straps under the table and through the d rings to secure it. This can be taken anywhere and used on any size surface. You could also use Velcro to fasten it but that would limit the size of the table that it would fit on.
