Clever ironing boards!
Thanks Suzanne!!!
Adding a bit of stir stick as a shim is a great fix! I would’ve been sanding and saying bad words 😂
LOLOOLOL!!! NOOOOO!!!! LOLOLOOLOL!!! Bad words and Dollhouses don't go together!!!
❤❤❤ the cutest little ironing board!
I Appreciate you 😊❤️😊
Adorable! As for the little problem of forgetting to drill those holes ahead of time, I might have tried figuring the placement of the holes like that anyway. As for hand drills, they are handy. I broke two drill bits just yesterday boring through 6mm of mdf! Wasn't sure it would work, but it finally did. Sometimes perserverence really does pay off! Loved the video, I always learn while watching you create.
Thanks PEGGY! Yes perseverance goes a long way when making miniatures! Never be hindered by obstacles. Recognize they are just a PART of the Process!
LOL I was covering a large tongue depressor with both ends rounded as a header for curtains in my living room, snipping and gluing along with your voice. 😂😂 I will have to try this ironing board one day.
Awesome! That's a great idea instead of using my "Good Wood" using craft sticks instead. Sometimes the obvious is right in front of you! GREAT Tip 👍
Thanks so much for this! I've been meaning to make an ironing board but for some reason I was too intimidated.
You're welcome! Please go ahead give it a shot! Worst case scenario you just have to do it AGAIN! Keep your fails and write down your errors so you don't repeat them. Each time you try you'll get better! Even if you're Gifted you have to practice! Let me know how it goes!!!
Both craft glue and hot glue work great. 😊👍🏻
Oh okay! I have used hot glue on small projects but 😊it always dries faster than l Work 😂and I burn my fingers👌 Lolol 😂! Thank you for the Tip
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I put my craft glue on but leave a small spot for a dot of hot glue, that way the hot glue holds it long enough for the craft glue to dry. 😊 you’re way better at this than me so I’m taking inspiration from you. 🥰
So cute!
Absolutely LAURA! You can do it! Just take your time and go step by step! Don't be intimidated if you make a mistake fix it and keep going. If you don't like the result. Try again but keep the 1st try so you can see your improvement!!! Mistakes are a PART OF LEARNING ☺️☺️😊❤️
Also Yes LAURA I'm ALWAYS very careful with my HANDS😊😃😅 thank you for your concern ❤️
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I was the kid in elementary school always telling my classmates to be careful. They said I would be a great mom one day. 😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes it's more important to show the improvisation of fixing mistakes than having everything perfect....we all make mistakes and it's nice to see how you deal with that. I would say that your filming is so close that it is hard to get the big picture....I like the further views that show more of what is going on. You are so creative and able to handle everything that comes along, its so encouraging to me!
THANK YOU Kim! I appreciate your feedback! Some of my videos were earlier in my channel and I had camera stand issues 🤭. I hope my more recent videos are better. Thank you for letting me know you are enjoying my content in spite of my filming flaws and errors! 😀
It's great that you showed the mistakes you made and how you rectified them, it shows newer crafters that even experienced people like yourself don't always get everything perfect first try. I'm sure it will give a lot of your viewers more confidence to give things a go without being afraid of stuffing things up. Very few mistakes aren't fixable somehow. A great lesson, from our beloved Miss Gretchen!
I truly try to be transparent because mistakes don't mean Quit, and failure just means Try Again!😅❤️
Awesome video on making the ironing board, take care and thank you for sharing 🙏👍❤️
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT and feedback!!
I remember ironing boards like this. My Nana had one.
Yes I was tickled to realize the early ironing boards were Wooden! That made it extra fun! It's like Re- creating history, only the FUN parts😅😅😃!
Once again, thank you Little Gretchen. 😊
Thank you TARA!!! I APPRECIATE YOU!!
Brilliant! I love how they look and that they actually work.
THANK YOU! It was tricky but I surprised myself!😅
👏👏🥰 lots of encouragement..love that! This was just a great video. I will need one down the road..Im gonna have ta remember next time I'm in the grocery store to look for the stix..sadly ..I broke my lil' hand drill with my heavy hands and I have yet to replace it. When you said one was hanging on the wall ..I saw the iron board that comes out of the wall like a hideaway...so I was curious to see 😂 these came out lovely and I would have gone with the natural wood as well..only bc it fits my era..but I wouldn't mind painting with that lovely vintage green 💖..dont feel bad...I have those "what not to do" moments too..I tend to get ahead of myself.. alot..🤣 and we measure the same ..so I copy 😆 I'm more of an eyeballer myself when it comes to measurements..even when I'm cooking unless I'm following a recipe. 😊 Thanx for sharing..I enjoyed it and learned how to make an iron board 🥰 so much fun.. I will be thinking of your workshop when I get to make one 💖
I Always enjoy your comments! Yes i do alot of eyeball measurements! I only measure in Cooking when I BAKE! I Do hope you make one, I love to see how your comes out! It's Amazing to see another artist make the same ITEM but it's STILL Uniquely Different! Thank you for Watching!
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I really enjoy your miniature visions ...I love and look forward to watching.. I have to say you are one of my favorite miniature artists..🥰 and I have been trying to reach out to invite you to be a Featured Artist on my website Tiny KeyHole. Is there another way to communicate with you for that purpose? Please let me know..I love your miniature journey 🥰🤗

They look like the real deal! Thank you for sharing the awkward parts too, improvising is important to the creative mind.
YES be ready to improvise don't quit! Now I know to adjust my pins closer to the edge. Yes I'm glad you appreciate seeing my struggles. I want you DOLLS to have the courage to keep going even when you're running to challenges!😅❤️😃
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 That's what makes your channel so great! Though I have to say I find the Miniature Community to be some of the kindest most giving people. You shine so bright 🌟
Oh my this is so cute! Well done...I hate to iron in real life...or do any laundry for that matter..show me how to build a steam iron! lol You're awesome! Love your channel!
Thank you so much!!!! That would be a real challenge a Steam iron! I don't know why I like old vintage stuff so much! It is amazing how much work we don't have to do because of all the modern conveniences! Thank you your compliment means So Much! YOU ROCK!!!
Did you have a real ironing board to go off of for this? Mine has been in storage for 9 years, along with my iron. So, I haven't seen it. I can't imagine building something like this without looking at one. I think mine had one leg that was a single leg, like a metal bar, that had two pieces coming out from the bottom for a more stable base. Not sure now though. I try to avoid ironing by pulling things out of the dryer and either hanging them up to avoid wrinkles or folding them right away and smoothing out any wrinkles.
IT's interesting to me that in many other countries, they don't use dryers, they hang up all clothing to dry outside or indoors. In a cold or humid climate, there is nothing as nice as pulling a hot pair of socks out of the dryer and putting them on cold feet, or a nice hot blanket on a cold day.
I have clothes on the clothesline right now. I've been avoiding the dryer for the last few months because the AC works hard enough without running the dryer. The house has been miserably hot when the dryer's running. Finally cooling off, but the clothesline uses no electricity and make the clothes smell good. :) I agree 100% on avoiding ironing and socks straight from the dryer on a cold day!
I actually don't do very much ironing as adult! Either either it's dry cleaned or wash and go! I used to have to iron sheets and pillows cases as a girl! I used similar concept as my ceiling attic ladder in earlier video. Pin hinges to make it fold. Also the what I call the X factor or criss cross ❌.
@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 yeah, to get a crease in slacks I'd get those hangers to hang pants upside down and fold them to crease on the front and back of the pants, sort of form it with fingers, take out of dryer before completely dry and hang upside down so the weight of the pants did the work.... When I was a kid my parents both worked and they hired an older woman with no kids to be at the house while they were at work. She did all the housework, but she didn't drive. She ironed EVERYTHING, even socks and underwear. Our parents wanted her to teach us how to at least fold our own laundry to put it away, but i think she got frustrated and did it herself.
I went off to college not really knowing how to even do laundry. The first time I went to the laundry room, I stared at the machines, temperature. Hmm, cold, warm, hot. Well, warm is in the middle so I picked warm. I dumped in everything. White pants, maroon cashmere sweater, bright yellow thing my dad gave me from the phillippines that didn't have the dye set. Everything came out this weird dingy greyish, pinkish, yellowish tint, and my favorite sweater came out of the dryer small enough for a teddy bear. Sigh, well, I can't buy a whole new wardrobe, so I just had to live with that. I taught my kids how to do laundry when they were young so they would not meet the same fate.
Both my sisters liked sewing so they probably learned washing and ironing from that. I took sewing, but thought it was boring. I liked woodshop and metal shop better.
As an adult I didn't like paying for clothes over and over again by buying dry clean stuff, so I only buy washable stuff for the most part now. Lots of dry clean stuff can actually be washed on delicate. Never any more pleated things though, the cleaners charged to press PER PLEAT!!! omg...
TY🩷M. I created my ironing board right along with you. Ty for introducing me to liquid stitch. I ordered a small bottle prior to seeing this video. 🩷🩷🩷 ... your tutorials.
Wonderful! I'm so glad you find value here with my videos! I try to share all the wonderful things I have learned over the years. Thank you for watching!
Wonderful and I really appreciate all of the tutorial details. Both ironing boards look 100% real and authentic!
Your ironing boards remind me of the wooden ironing board in my childhood home. It was an ironing board that folded down when you opened the door to its “flat closet” that had been put into the wall of our kitchen. I thought it was magical as a child … open a door and an ironing board folded out to use! It was a BIG DEAL to use a real iron as a child - ironing hankies, pillow cases, etc. Mostly though, my siblings and I used the ironing board as a flat sturdy surface for draping sheets over - so we could make an indoor tent/fort/playhouse, etc. Such fun!
Thanks again … I so appreciate you and all of your videos! Kathleen
Yes years ago we had ti iron EVERYTHING! i am so grateful for fabric that doesn't wrinkle! I think it's funny and FUN to make items like this. Mundane everyday life items become BEAUTIFUL as a miniature!
Another beautiful miniature! Thank you so much, but every time I watch your videos I’m starting a new mini project… I think I have 6 going at once! TY!❤
That is SO WONDERFUL for me to Hear!!! My Heart is to Inspire You to Create! THANK YOU so Much for sharing that with me! THANK YOU for being a part of MY Glorious Journey ❤️
This is perfect! I was needing a few ironing boards for my doll homes and can't spend money for them. I just love how your mind creates stuff! Wish mine would do the same! LOL! They look great- even better than the one you can buy in the stores. Thank you for this video!
Thank You TinyNina76! I'm Glad you see the value in creating some of your own items! I LIKE to save my money for things I don't want to make🤣 thanks for watching ❤️
Another Great Job!!! It looks like you set it out for your laundry room!!! It just so happens I bought my ironing board, sad to say it isn’t DIY!!
It's ok! Go ahead and make one too! Put it in attic as clutter or save it for another project...... There will be other projects that might need an ironing board!!😅😄😂
Love your ingenuity!! Your attention to detail is amazing. You give me the confidence to try things. Thank you.
So glad to hear you are enjoying my videos and that you are inspired. Thank you for watching!
