Then put the plywood on top and bottom on the surface of the tire. Then fasten the plywood sheets to the tire with self-tapping screws. Next, using a glue gun, glue the twine to the plywood sheet.

In this case, the work must be performed sequentially, pressing each turn to the turn and rotating in a circle, starting from the center, using the snail principle.

In the same way, they continue to lay the twine further, gradually move to the end of the tire and glue it until the entire tire is closed.

Second production method

It is not necessary to sheathe the ottoman from the outside - just put an old pillow inside.

Materials and tools:

  • used car tires;
  • foam rubber;
  • dense fabric or mesh;
  • fabric for decoration;
  • fringe, lace;
  • strong threads, needles;
  • sewing machine;
  • self-tapping screws.

We make a pouffe with our own hands. First you need to prepare the tires. If tires were previously used for a car, you must first rinse them with water, use a brush and washing powder to remove dust and clay residues.

Nadi to make an ottoman having the height of an ordinary stool. To do this, put 2 tires (one on top of the other) and connect them with electrical tape.

You can fasten the tires one to the other with self-tapping screws on their inner surface. The wheels must be firmly connected to each other, thus creating a sufficiently strong frame for the product.

We do the seat. It is necessary to measure the diameter of the tire hole and cut a circle of the same diameter from the foam rubber. On the sides, the frame of the future product must be sheathed with foam rubber, then the ottoman will become soft and will have a streamlined shape.

To do this, cut a rectangle out of foam rubber. One side of the rectangle is equal to the height of the frame of the product, the second side is equal to the circumference of the frame. It is necessary to wrap the frame with foam rubber and sew its ends with a strong thread.

Then close the hole with foam rubber. To do this, you first need to sew up the upper and lower holes with a strong cloth or a special mesh, then we attach the foam rubber on top of it.

The final stage is the creation of the upholstery. To do this, it is better to use dense furniture fabric. Cut a rectangle out of this fabric. Its short side is equal to the height of the walls of the ottoman plus a turning width of 10 cm on each side.

The long side of the ottoman is equal to the outer diameter of the wheel plus one cm per stitch. Sew 2 short sides of the fabric upholstery and stretch it over the wheels. The line is best done on sewing machine. The seam is better to do double.

The frame of the product is covered with fabric. Now you need to finish and fasten the upper and lower parts of the model together. Using a strong thread and a needle on the inside of the wheels, we fasten the structure. To do this, thread the thread from the top edge, then pull it inside and pull it out from the bottom edge.

The fabric is stretched. After full firmware, you can put a soft pillow on top. The decoration can be supplemented with fringe, appliqué, embroidery, lace. When creating a model design, use all your imagination and creativity.

  2. Drill - come in handy to drill holes.
  3. Plywood - the thickness should be within 3-5 millimeters. It will make an excellent seat. If necessary, it is recommended to make a base for a pouffe, and a tear-off top, then things can be folded inside.

How to make an ottoman from a tire with your own hands? Additional materials:

  • Jigsaw, lightning;
  • Loops for a cover;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • Bolts (wire).

Plywood is cut according to the diameter of the tire. If desired, you can process the edges with a jigsaw. Polyurethane foam is laid on top and fixed with glue (when used, polyurethane foam will not slide to the edges).

For aesthetics, a cover for the lid is made of fabric. The pattern is simple: we measure the height of the resulting seat and the diameter. From the material we cut out two circles and a ribbon (the width will be equal to the height, the length will be equal to the diameter). On a typewriter, we sew circles with a ribbon, leaving room for a zipper. We put on a seat cover.

TIP: you can simply upholster the lid with a cloth and secure with a stapler. It is recommended to close the back of the top of the ottoman with a non-woven fabric.

Tires are fastened together. Holes are made with a drill, you can fasten with bolts or wire. For beauty, it is advised to sheathe the rubber with cloth.

TIP: another way to hide tires is to carefully wrap the product with a rope, fixing it with glue. The option is more suitable, with one tire. If there are two wheels, you can first wrap them with fiberboard or thick cardboard from boxes.

Tools needed to create an ottoman

Step-by-step instruction

  1. First of all, we cut a sheet of our plywood based on the contour of our tire and make a sheet round shape, after that we drill holes in the tire and plywood to fix and connect the tire and plywood.

  2. Further, using self-tapping screws or bolts, but keep in mind that when fastening the elements with bolts, you will need to make holes for the bolt heads so that they do not protrude from under the plywood covers. We fasten the plywood sheet to the tire.

    By the way, please note that the plywood sheet is attached on both sides, because. we will attach roller legs to the bottom of our ottoman, which will move our ottoman on wheels.

  3. We begin to glue our twine to the tire, you need to start from the middle and lay the twine in the shape of a snail, which contributes to a rather beautiful pattern.

  4. You need to glue on a strong glue, we recommend using glue in a special gun, but if you don’t have such a tool, then glue will do - “Moment”, but note that it must be very sticky!

  5. Further, when the cover of our ottoman is glued with twine, we begin to glue the twine directly onto the tire itself.

  6. In order for the rope to fit better on the tire, we need to turn the tire from top to bottom, which will make it easier to attach the rope.

  7. Next, we glue the tires completely, and cut off the excess twine and glue it on the cover.

  8. Next, we glue the lid and cover our ottoman with varnish. Covering the ottoman with varnish is necessary so that the rope with which our ottoman is pasted over does not get wet under the influence of rain.

Handmade furniture is always appreciated. Often it can become the main decoration of the house, because in the manufacture of each master puts his soul into his product and uses individual approach. In addition, no special skills or expensive materials are required for work. Often used wheels are simply thrown away as unnecessary. But it turns out they can be given a second life!

It is quite comfortable to sit on such an ottoman, as it is stable. Moreover, it can be used as coffee table. Such ottomans will look great in the gazebo, on the veranda or in the hallway. As you can see in the photo, they look quite original. There are at least three ways to make such unpretentious furniture.

First way

Pouffe from an old tire (option 1)

You can make a pouffe from one wheel, but it will be a little low for an adult. Therefore, we suggest trying to connect two tires together. To work, you will need the following tools:

  • jigsaw;
  • screwdriver;
  • file;
  • construction stapler;
  • scissors and knife;
  • pencil or marker;
  • screws.

From the materials you will need two tires, plywood, foam rubber for gaskets, fabric for sheathing, a belt or hose. Wash the tires thoroughly to keep them clean. On the one that will be the top, we cut out four small holes for further fastening the seat.

Holes for attaching the seat

You can connect the wheels to each other using screws.

Connecting

The seat is made from plywood. Draw a circle on the sheet - the same diameter as the tire. Then cut it out with a jigsaw and finish the edges with a file.

Cut out the base for the seat

Make a round pad out of foam rubber.

Foam pad

Upholster the seat with a fabric, fastening it to the plywood with a stapler on the reverse side.

Cloth covered

Use a strap or hose to secure the seat.

Temporary fixation

Attach it with screws to the top wheel.

Mounting the seat to the tire

The rubber part can be painted in your favorite color. This is one of the options for making an ottoman from a tire. As you can see in the photo, it looks quite original.

Second way

Pouffe from an old tire (option 2)

There is another method - using a rope. You will need:

  • jigsaw;
  • screwdriver or screwdriver;
  • scissors;
  • glue gun;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • thick twine or hemp rope;
  • upholstery fabric;
  • brush.

Necessary tools and materials

In this case, we cut out two circles from the chipboard sheet and attach them with self-tapping screws on both sides of the tire.

Fixing the plywood circle

Then you can start decorating the future pouf. To do this, use a coil of rope. You need to start from the center of the upper circle. Using a glue gun, the rope is fixed in a spiral.

Cover decoration

When the cover is ready, proceed to the sides of the wheel. In the same way, we wind the rope in a spiral. You need to work carefully, tightly pressing the new coil to the previous one. We leave the bottom as is.

Side decoration

When the twine seizes, that is, the glue dries well, we cover the ottoman made of tires with a colorless varnish.

For reliability, it is better to apply several layers. This will protect it from moisture and dirt, making it easier further care behind the product.

Lacquer application

Such a do-it-yourself tire seat looks beautiful in an eco-style room.

Third way

Pouffe from an old tire (option 3)

If you do not want to mess with the rope, it does not matter. To quickly make a seat, you can simply place an old pillow inside the wheel. In this case, prepare also:

  • foam rubber;
  • fabric/mesh;
  • lace or fringe;
  • thick threads for sewing;
  • self-tapping screws.

If you want the pouf to be as high as a chair, use two wheels. Connect them together with self-tapping screws. Cut out a rectangle of foam rubber large enough to wrap around the wheel. Sew along the edges. Thanks to this, the frame will become soft and beautiful.

Cover the top of the frame with a dense fabric, and put a circle of foam rubber on top. Then sheathe the seat with one piece of upholstery material, and with the other - side part. Use strong thread. You can decorate the product with lace, fringe or other decorative elements. Look at the photos of such products and borrow the idea.

And one more thing: so that the furniture can be easily moved around the room, you can attach handles to it. An old belt will work for this. Make loops out of it and attach with screws to the frame. Thus, you have learned how to make beautiful puffs out of tires in three ways.

Today we will look at how to make an original pouffe from an ordinary car tire. Making an ottoman from a tire with your own hands does not require large expenses, and it can also be used as a coffee table or banquette.

To make a do-it-yourself ottoman from a tire, we need:

new or used tire;

2 circles of MDF 6 mm thick, 55 cm in diameter;

six screws;

perforator;

screwdriver;

glue gun or super glue;

screw cord 5 meters long, 10 mm thick;

tire cleaning cloth;

Clean the tires of dirt with a dry cloth, if the tire is heavily soiled, then rinse it and let it dry.

Lay 1 circle of MDF on the tire and make 3 holes around the edges at 3 distant points so that the perforator penetrates the rubber.

Using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, secure the MDF to the rail. Do the same for each of the holes and repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 on the other side of the tire.

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

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

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

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