I know few of us actually iron any more. I sure don’t, although I do remember my Grammie ironing my purple “hillbilly” dress when I was a pre-teen… over and over because I absolutely loved that dress! Our ironing board was set up in the kitchen, where it eventually lost its usefulness for getting rid of wrinkles in clothing, and became a catch-all surface. (Sort of like my $2,000 treadmill. Sigh…)
Anyway, I’ve seen some really talented people do some very crafty things with these great old ironing boards.
Here’s an article I found with ideas. I’m not at all artistic, so it would be up to you to be creative!

The article lists ideas such as:
- Upcycle as a bookshelf. Instead of buying the usual, boring bookshelf, reuse your old ironing board to display your most treasured book collection. …
- Make a Christmas tree. …
- Create a laundry center. …
- Make a thread organizer. …
- Make a chalkboard sign. …
- Reuse as a pegboard. …
- Make a display holder. …
- Make shelves.
And a few more creative thoughts!
