You will need two tyres to create this lovely chair as well as a wood pallets, sponge for filling and a bit of fabric to cover it. You can make these in different sizes depending on the tyres that you have available. If you want to create a child’s chair for instance, use small tyres or you can use larger tyres and have it sitting in your living room or bedroom. Cover it with whatever fabric you want that matches your current decor. It’s really easy to make and great for any indoor sitting area.
Required Items:
- Two used tyres
- Wood pallets
- Drill machine
- Stapler
- Sponge to fill the chair
- Fabric
Steps to make yourself a great chair from old tyres:
- Drill holes inside of one tire
- Using the stapler attach the sponge to the tire (Make sure to cover the inside of your tire with the sponge in order to make the chair more comfortable.)
- Cut the surplus of sponge on the edges and staple a piece of fabric to the bottom of one tire. This will be the part of the chair which will be placed on the floor
- Drill holes into the wooden palettes, this will be screwed to the tire and will eventually be the back of your chair. Cut these palettes as big as you want the back of your chair to be
- Attach the second tire on to the bottom one
- Fill the second tire with sponge
- Cover the whole structure with the fabric of your choice
- After covering with fabric, it will be ready and you can enjoy sitting on your new, recycled chair
