I'm going to make one. I will use my little Dritz steam iron, perfect. Also, I have a used mattress pad I think I will cut up to use, and a used silver ironing pad that I can use.

Your small ironing board is great. Loved the material you used for the top as it is so bright and cheery. Kelela

I love it

so what did you use for the inside?

I used 2 layers of batting and regular fabric ,that's it...oh and I painted the legs black :-D

Did you use insulbright batting? you know the batting for pot holders etc...

No, just the warm& natural batting.

How did you attach everything to the tray?

I have made a covers for my TV tray. Problems that arise are burning the fabric, if the iron is to high, So it couldn't be just any Cotton fabric.

Currently on the TV tray is a towel that is sandwhich with remnant cotton on the bottom, and Cotton batting in the middle.
Tightly machine quilted.
This one has lasted me the longest. No scroches, no worry of scorches either. Towel can take a good bit of heat.

I mentioned you making this to one of the ladies at my sewing group today and she says oh what a cool idea. I come home fix dinner start to read my emails someone knocks on my door..and sure as heck it was one of the ladies from my sewing group with a wooden TV tray for me to make into an ironing table..now that was so great of her. Oh and she brought my husband 2 big flower pots so he can plant 2 tomato plants. :)
