Craft a Foot Stool Using a Car Tyre

Clean the Tyre

Thoroughly clean the tyre using soap and water. Scrub off all dirt and debris, then let the tyre dry completely.

Cut the Plywood

Measure the inner diameter of the tyre and cut two circles from the plywood or MDF that match this measurement. These will serve as the top and bottom surfaces of the stool.

Attach the Top Surface

Place one of the plywood circles on the top of the tyre and secure it with screws. Ensure it is properly aligned and tightly fixed.

Wrap the Tyre

Wrap the entire tyre, including the attached plywood, with rope or fabric. Start from the bottom and work your way up, securing the material with glue as you go.

Attach the Bottom Surface

Flip the tyre over and attach the second plywood circle to the bottom. Secure it with screws, ensuring it is tightly fixed.

Add Padding and Fabric

Cut a piece of foam to fit the top surface of the stool and cover it with fabric. Secure the fabric underside of the plywood with a stapler or glue.

Final Decoration

Optionally, you can paint or stain the rope/fabric and add any additional decorations to match your home decor.
