If you’re thinking of buying a new cover for your ironing board, don’t rush! Use a towel you have at home (shower type) that you no longer use to create a great cover for the ironing board.
All the use you can get from your old towel is not only for you, but you can also use it to create accessories for your pets. If you put together two old towels of similar dimensions, fill in their interior and sew their outline, you can get a bed for your dog or cat. The filling can be any other material or another old towel that you cut into small strips.

Not only is it an inexpensive and very original alternative when it comes to playing with our pet, but you will also make him wag his tail with joy!
