DIY Mini Ironing Board: Simple Craft Project For Your Creative Space

Many of you have commented on my tiny ironing board in the past so here’s your opportunity to make one for yourself. It is perfect for quick presses of HSTs and other patchwork blocks, hems on small projects, giving a neat finish to purses and pouches as well as scrap buster projects such as scrunchies and bunting.
All you need is a wooden clipboard, something to pad it, some fabulous fabric and good adhesive tape. It’s portability and added clip at the top for easy braiding and plaiting make this a must-have tool to add to your collection.

I used E6000 glue and put a self healing cutting board on the back side so I could cut and press! Thank you for the idea!

I will indeed be making this, rather than spending the £60 on the mini ironing board I was going to! Thank you for putting this out there :)

Love it! I think I'll try spray adhesive to attach the fabric and apply a felt backing. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve had one of those old clipboards around forever! Now I have a use for it! Thanks a bunch!!

Oh Corrine, you’re BRILLIANT 🤩🤩 . You’re so right, I need a small mobile ironing board for my projects. It gets annoying to keep hauling my way to the big ironing board .
I got to go shopping for clipboards and make me two.
Thank you my dear for another very useful project 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I love this!! I have a Circuit iron and need a little ironing board! Love you videos and accent!! Oh and I found the Michael Miller crab fabric that you used to make a little pinafore apron…except it has blue background instead of white like your fabric. Made a cute pinafore…we live in Maryland where crabs are very popular!

Another super (and funny 😆) video. Thanks for inspiring and entertaining us again.

Thanks again for another great reuse idea Corinne! As always you keep it real with a twist of humor and brighten my day.

I saw the clipboard on your macrame video but couldn't find instructions so I made a padded removable cover for the clipboard held in place by 3 tabs with Velcro on over the clip. I didn't realise that it could be an ironing board as well so it hasn't got a foil layer but I guess it would be easy to put one in. Thanks for the video.

Hello Corrine, how ingenious, I covered a clip board with batting and fabric for macrame after watching your macrame video, and wow, another use for the clipboard. I just used masking tape in the back, so I can open it up and insert some foil, what a great idea. I also have the small iron and a small portable table ironing board, but this would be so much less cumbersome even than that. Great video!
