The inside of a closet door
is a good resting place for
the ironing board. Put two
screw-type clothes hooks
near the bottom of the door
to form a rack to hold the
bottom of the folded board.
About three feet above this,
tack a lady’s belt to the door
and fasten it around the
upper part of the board to
hold it in place. Put the flat
part of the board against
the door and the board stays
in place securely.
