MINI IRON BOARD TUTORIAL! NO SEWING NEEDED 

Corkboard contact paper....who knew🤷🏾‍♀️....thanks for sharing this Mimi!

Wow it's like you knew I was just looking up tabletop ironing boards! Trying this ASAP.

You must have read my mind! I LITERALLY was thinking 🤔 about getting a mini ironing board for all these masks I was creating! Thanks!!

Great project ! This is better then the small ironing boards because these are flat & low not high & raised. So much more comfortable. Thanks a bunch Mimi 😘

This is a really great idea! I hate moving to my big ironing board, but it is so necessary. This is a great option for smaller projects.

I love this!!!!! I am not only a seamstress but also a quilter. This is just perfect for my needs. I am going to a quilt retreat next month and think I need to make one of these for that. Thanks for a great tutorial.........I do have one suggestion. I worked in a picture framing shop years ago and learned how to stretch canvas on frames. You start on one side and put the staple in the center, Then go to the other side and pull and put your second staple. Now go to one end and tug in the center and add the 3rd staple and opposite side 4th staple. Now work your way out one staple on each side of these all around.............in the end it will lay very flat and there will be no ripples...............I noticed that when you did the long sides there were a few waves along the end and this will prevent that.

Last trip to Home Depot, I saw a bin of plywood "scraps" leftover from cuts made in the store. Think that's where I'll start my search. Thank you for this very informative tutorial 👍!

Thanks so much for this affordable option. You’re the best. God bless.❤️

I like this idea. I bought a new iron along with material to make masks (my dog chewed through the cord of my old iron). But I didn't buy an ironing board. And I didn't see any mini ironing boards that I liked. So I can just make my own. Thank you for showing how it's done. Btw, your nails are pretty.

I was just about to purchase a tabletop ironing board...I like this idea better and it is soooo much cheaper! You are the best!

Merci beaucoup pour cette super idée. Merci

Mimi g, you are so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us all. Much love to you.. peace!

I did one similar t oi this, last year. I used felt fabric, and a snack tray table. When I'm done seeing fir the day, I fold it up and put it away in my craft room. I like the idea if using the cutting board. I can use the top to one if my broken tray tables. Then I can pit it in my sewing cart when I "sew and go." Thanks for your tip.

Just what I needed! I’m creating an ironing board out of a cabinet I have next to my cutting table and was trying to figure out how to create a part that folded down that I could still use to expand the board for larger pieces. Perfect timing

This is such a good idea! I’ve been using a broken tabletop board but I love that I could just throw this one behind me if it’s in the way 😆

This is such a neat idea. It is right at your disposal and you do no have to move away from the sewing machine. Thank you, Mimi! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Those nails sis...is giving me life

Best DIY for iron boards out there.🌹

Great idea! Who would've thought a cutting board. Genius!

Hi Mimi g I have my material and I am ready to make my board. I will show you via video once it's done :-) thank you so much. You are an inspiration to me. Much love! :-)

Absolutely loved the mini ironing board!!!🤗

Brilliant idea! I got up to iron many times to iron my project today and it was quite annoying after awhile.

Thank you for the video. I absolutely love it.

You are AMAZING

Very good, nice and clean. Thanks

I love this video ! Where is the iron from ? Can you provide link :)? Love u mimmi g xoxoxo

Just what I was looking for, thank you!

This is such a smart idea!

Perfect

That's a great idea to find a cutting board too 👌🏾

Love it!! Gracias Mimi!!

Cool! 😎

Need to make this! Thanks for sharing 💗

I love the top you have on

Very handy, will be making one , thank you

Great idea, I never press my seams until the end due to the inconvenience you mentioned. Thank you.

Thanks Mimi!

Hi! I know this isn’t relevant to this particular video but I was wondering if you could do is sew along for Vogue 8333? It’s an advance couture pattern and you’re such an amazing teacher. 💕

I used to have one next to sewing machine on the sewing table but then my mother sent me her is Bernina that is taking up that space. With 3 machines I decided to convert an Ikea raskog cart. With an the small Ikea ironing board I already had. But instead of screwing down the board to the top upside basket as others did per Instagram i choose to add a hinge under the board so that I wouldn't lose the basket space. I love it cause it's on wheels, and depending on which machine I may be using I can just grab and drag it over. There are times I'm using multiple machines in the same project.

Great tutorial... thanks for sharing

Sounds good but it’s best for me to get up and walk need some type of exercise

Awesome idea thank you

Great project!

I love the project

I swear you were reading minds been dying to something like that awesome !

LOVE this idea!!

LOve you for all you do...Thanks so much. Peace! :-)

Mimi G, please post the device you’re using for overhead shots.

GENIUS!!!!!

What’s the name of the little mini iron that you’re using

I love this Mimi. Thank you so much

Very Nice!!!

Thank you for this.

Thanks!

Great idea 💡! I think 🤔 I will buy me a little iron. Where do yo bu y yours?

Hello, I made a board last year and I can’t understand why it took me so long before I made one. Can you share with us the information about the iron you used in the video. Thank you for sharing your talents.

I have something similar but I like the board and cork!

Genius!

Probably a dumb question, but when you say “give it a press” about the cork board backing, do you mean with an iron or just literally press it down??

Great idea! Did you have your baby and was it a boy or a girl?

Thank you! 🤣😂👩🏾‍🦲😍😘

😍

When I had to get a new iron, I got Rowenta with 1800 watts for steam and the steam went thru everything ironed on. Well not today. Thank you

Please share the name or some such thing for the stapler so I can find the right one please!! Thank you!

What size is the board ?

I have the same little iron.

Hi, what is the lengh and width of the board?

Why aren’t you using the industrial sewing machine? Take it from an old lady, don’t sit too long!
