Do It Yourself - Interesting way to make a jute seat out of unused tyre.


Take an unused four wheeler tyre. Drill at six places and fasten two plywood planks by cutting them into two circles of 55cm diameter each. Screw the planks to your tyre tightly enough so that it won’t come off. Do it on the reverse side of the tyre as well. Take sisal rope and start glueing at the center of the circle in order to obtain a perfect finish. With the hot glue gun, apply the glue on the board and secure one end of sisal.

Use enough glue to stick and move the sisal rope round in a snail shape. Repeat till you make sure that the end of the sisal from the board meets the beginning of the one on the edge. Do this for the reverse side of the tyre as well. Once you cover the entire tyre, cut the rope.
Apply the sealer to the brush and cover all sisal surface with it. Wait one hour before you put another coat on it. This sealer is ready to touch after one day but the complete drying takes two weeks!

Your sisal rope seat is ready!
