I recently purchased a small table-top ironing board for $6 at WalMart. I was previously using an over the door pull down ironing board to save space but it was a pain to use and scuffed up the door (not to mention I couldn’t close the door). One of the advantages of being short is short pant legs, therefore a little table top board works just fine! Plus, it fits nicely in my newly made-over laundry closet! The only problem with the $6 board is a really, really boring cover:
I spent just under an hour whipping up a new cover for the ironing board using a pretty gray & white printed fabric I had on hand. I used this tutorial for the measurements. I measured all around the board and used a washable fabric pen to mark the pattern directly on the back of the fabric before cutting.
