I had my Dad cut a board and made my own and I just love it! Wish I had made it sooner. You could always go to home depot and have them cut a board for you. It was so easy to make and there are several tutorials on how to make one. I did not put anything on the back to hold it to my ironing board, I just sit it on top and haven't had any problems. Either get one or make one, you won't regret it. Good luck
