Here is a great project to convert the top of your washer and dryer into an ironing surface.

Materials:

  • 5/8” Thick MDF (or plywood)
  • 1” Upholstery foam
  • Spray adhesive
  • Heat-resistant fabric
  • Staple gun
  • Measuring tape
  • 2-3 Small L-brackets and screws

Directions:

  1. Measure the surface space of washer and dryer
  2. Cut MDF board according to size of space
  3. Apply spray adhesive to one side of board
  4. Apply upholstery foam on top of board (cutting excess foam off so it is the same size as the board)
  5. Lay fabric over the foam, using upholstery-style technique, staple fabric to board
  6. To eliminate movement, use 2-3 small L-brackets evenly spaced to secure the board to wall
