My husband made one for me with my old metal ironing board, piece of plywood and one of the purchased wide board covers. He put stabilizer 1X4' on the back which slip down over the metal ironing board top so it is very stable. He screwed it on too, but can easily be removed if I need the old board. So far that has not happened. I purchased the cover at Joann's with a coupon. I think it' made by Clover and has gridwork printed on it. I love it.
