DIY tire stool

For the manufacture of do-it-yourself ottoman from a tire we will need:

• new or used tire;
• 2 circles of MDF 6 mm thick, with a diameter of 55 cm;
• six screws;
• hammer drill;
• screwdriver;
• glue gun or super glue;
• screw cord 5 meters long, 10 mm thick;
• tire cleaning cloth;
• scissors;
• varnish;
• brush.

Step 1.

Clean the tires from dirt with a dry cloth; if the tire is very dirty, wash it and allow it to dry.

Step 2

Put 1 circle of MDF on the car tire and make 3 holes along the edges at 3 remote points so that the hammer penetrates the rubber.

Step 3

Using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, fasten the MDF to the tire. Do the same with each hole and repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 on the other side of the tire.

Step 4

Using glue, secure one end of the cord to the center of the MDF circle.

Step 5

Holding with your hand continue to glue the cord in a spiral, remembering to use the required amount of glue in front of each circle.

Step 6

After you cover the entire MDF circle with a cord, do the same along the edges of the car tire.

Step 7

Turn the tire and continue to cover it with a cord until you reach the edge of the second circle of MDF.

Step 8

After the cord covers the entire surface of the tire, cut off the rest of the rope with scissors and tightly fasten the end of the cord.

Step 9

Apply varnish to the brush and cover the entire surface where the cord was used. Let the varnish dry completely.
