How to Make an Ironing Board

アイロン台を作りました。
台っていうか、机の上に乗せるアイロン板って感じでしょうか。

作り方。
１．板を机の大きさに切ってもらう。

２．カバーとなる布、中にはさむキルト芯、板の順に重ねる。

３．タッカーで板をくるんだ布の端を板にとめつける。

４．針が机の表面に直に当たって傷つけないように布テープをグルーガンで貼り付ける。

５．完成。

I wanted a bigger ironing board so I made one that sits on top of my rolling desk.
This is how I did it.

1. MOTH cut the MDF board for the exact size of the desk top. He also beveled off the corner so it's nicely round.

2. I used cotton drill for the main covering fabric. The batting is 100% wool quilting batting.

3. Used a staple gun to attach the covering. I tucked in the raw edges thinking it will make a nicer finish, but I think I should have just stapled the fabric single layered and trimmed off the excess fabric to reduce bulk.

4. I hot-glued a twill tape around the edge of the fabric to cover the staples (so that the staples would not scratch the desk top)

5. Though it is finished, I think I will make an ironing board cover so that it can be washed or changed. My iron spits calcium deposit and dirty water so I want to be able to change the covering without redoing the entire stapling process.
