I have a small table top ironing board next to my machine. It was my mom's and it's old...
Here is the ironing board turned over. Two feet were missing on the middle and bottom left side. They are folding metal feet, so they scratched the table every time I tired to move it.
The left circled leg is missing...the right circle is the original rubberized foot.
The original...
Missing foot...
Glue gun to the rescue.
Just blob it on until the desired thickness.
Tah Dah!!!
No more scratches on my table.
Quick, easy, free and I can use the ironing board again!!
You could use this trick for anything big or small.
If something wobbles...add a little extra glue to balance it out or if something hitting into something else...add a little hot glue to act as a bumper.
Hope this comes in handy!
Have a great Thursday,
~Karen~

Good Morning Karen, What a fabulous tip. I am now the proud owner of a glue gun... I know that sounds strange, as everyone has owned one for years, but they are expensive and I was not sure what I would use it for, but now that I have one, the list is endless.
ReplyDeleteKaren you are amazing, all these wonderful tips you share with us, your mind must be continually buzzing with ideas.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best Wishes

ReplyDeleteNow that is a wonderful idea - the kind that makes you shake your head and wonder why no one thought of it before! Thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, great idea. Pinning. :)
ReplyDeletehmmm, this makes me think maybe a spot of hot glue on the bottom of my foot pedal to keep it from moving?

You make my day! Clever, clever, clever!
ReplyDeleteKaren, your tips never cease to amaze me. The most simplest things but yet so useful and those things I say to "Duh, why didn't I think of that!" I'm with Speedy: sunshine in an above comment...I think I'm going to see how a bit of glue works on the bottom of my machine foot pedal to keep it from moving all around so I'm not spending all my time looking down trying to find it...lol. Keep the brilliant ideas coming!

FYI, I've seen those little rubber feet at Lowe's and Home Depot - they sell them to cover the wire closet edges when they cut them to the desired size. Just in case the hot glue comes off...and you need another idea.
ReplyDeleteExcellent tip. Quick and easy. Most of us have glue guns. Thanks, Jill
