When you replace your old tires, do not throw away the old ones. Give them a second chance and turn them into fun stools that you can use as outdoor furniture or around a campfire.
What you will need
- Bleach
- Old tire
- White spray primer
- Color spray paint
- Plywood
- Wheels (optional)
- Foam for seat
- Outdoor fabric for seat
Directions
- Wash the tire thoroughly. Use bleach and let it dry under the sun
- Prime it with white spray primer
- Coat with desired color spray paint
- Measure the diameter of the tire. Transfer the outline onto thick plywood.
- Cut two circles. These will be place on top and bottom of your tire.
- (Optional) Buy some wheels. Three will do but four wheels will provide better stability
- (Optional) Screw the wheels onto one of the circles you made
- Place the bottom circle on your tire. Use a strong adhesive to secure the bottom part of the stool
- Flip it over and let it dry
- Get the other circle you made and put adhesive on its surface
