Do-it-yourself chairs from old tires. We turn expenses into income - a chair made of tires with our own hands, which protects nature and gives comfort. Crafts from car tires

A do-it-yourself tire chair is an original design solution. The interior space of the countries of America and Europe is filled with tire products. They make tables, ottomans, chairs, whole sets. Armchairs occupy a special place among the handicrafts made from tires. They come with or without backrests, armrests. They can be stationary or mobile.

Making an ottoman without a back

Before you make a chair out of tires, you need to imagine its functional purpose, to determine the place of this item in the overall interior. The simplest type of seating furniture is an ottoman. Made from car tires, it can become an integral part of the interior.

If you make several ottomans, they can be used as modular elements. Various combinations will change the overall environment. Due to this, the interior will always look fresh and attractive.

Required tools and materials

Before starting the installation work on the construction of the ottoman, it is necessary to prepare:

  • drill, drill;
  • construction stapler;
  • 2 circles with a diameter of 56 cm, made of oriented strand board (OSB, OSB);
  • tire, burlap;
  • rope (40 m);
  • legs (4 pcs.);
  • wooden blocks (4 pcs. 20–21 cm each);
  • self-tapping screws.

Step-by-step production of an ottoman

Making an ottoman from car tires is easy to do with your own hands.

  1. The tire is cleaned of dirt, washed out with soapy water, and dried.
  2. The tire is decorated with burlap, which is attached with a construction stapler around the tire perimeter.
  3. To make the structure rigid, 4 bars are placed inside the tire.
  4. The bars are installed vertically. They serve as spacers on which the structure will be held. The seat will be attached to these bars.
  5. A hole with a diameter of 1 cm is drilled in the center of the circle from an oriented strand board. This is necessary in order to place the rope there and fix it on the reverse side.
  6. The circle along the edges in 4 places is attached with self-tapping screws to the support bars. This creates a rigid base for the chair structure. The carcass keeps the tire from deforming.
  7. The rope is threaded through the center hole. On the inside of the tire, the end of the rope is tied in a knot.
  8. On the opposite side of the tire, another circle of oriented strand board is attached to the ends of the bars.
  9. Legs are mounted to the bottom of the frame.
  10. The structure is installed on legs, the rope is fixed in the form of a spiral. The main thing is to hide the fixing clips under the rope.
  11. The rope is wound in a spiral, at regular intervals it is attached with a stapler to the surface of the oriented strand board. The ottoman is ready.

Tire armchair under cover

Even more comfort for relaxing or sitting is provided by a do-it-yourself tire chair. It can be produced without much effort and time. A general scheme for creating an armchair is proposed, which can be supplemented with various innovations or other original design solutions.

The required set of materials and tools

To turn old tires into attractive and original seats you will need:

  • screwdriver;
  • furniture stapler;
  • self-tapping screws;
  • scissors;
  • car tires (2 pcs.);
  • felt;
  • bending plywood (100x90 cm);
  • dense and thin furniture foam rubber;
  • knife (boot or with a retractable blade);
  • scissors;
  • quilted fabric cover.

Step by step actions

  1. First you need to fasten the tires together. This is done using a screwdriver and large self-tapping screws that are threaded from the inside of the tires.
  2. Felt is attached to the bottom of the tire chair so that the rubber does not come into contact with the floor and the chair would be easier to move.
  3. The felt is fixed along the perimeter of the tire with a furniture stapler.
  4. The excess felt is cut with scissors below the fixing level.
  5. The frame is turned over so that the felt base is at the bottom.
  6. Next, the back of the chair is constructed. For this, bending plywood is used, made of special types of wood. Plywood is flexible and resilient. The fibers of such plywood are located not like a regular sheet, but in one direction. These structural features make it easy to shape the plywood sheet into the desired shape.
  7. The plywood backrest is attached to the tires with self-tapping screws with an intermediate pitch of 10-15 cm.
  8. To make the chair soft and comfortable, the frame is filled with thick soft furniture foam rubber. The material is trimmed around the circumference so that it can be placed inside the tire.
  9. The corresponding parts are cut from the thinner foam rubber for the backrest and the soft part of the seat. It is better to prepare 2 circles for the seat: one - equal to the inner diameter of the tire (to fit inside), the other - larger (the area of ​​which can be only 2-3 cm less than the outer diameter of the tire).
  10. A thick foam pad fits inside the tire. It will take some effort.
  11. The upper pads are made of thin foam rubber. First, a circle with a smaller diameter is placed, and a larger one on top. To prevent the circles from slipping, the upper part must be fixed with a stapler.
  12. Thin foam rubber is thrown over the back. Attached to the plywood sheet on both sides with a stapler. Surplus is cut off.
  13. The bottom edge of the thin foam is carefully tucked between the back and seat.
  14. A cover made of quilted fabric is sewn and put on the chair (you can order its production in the workshop). Internal filler - synthetic winterizer. Such a cover will make the chair even more soft and cozy.

The idea of ​​using a cover is attractive because the material is easy to remove from the frame. It can be washed, refreshed. Over time, for the updated interior, you can change the color of the cover.

Assortment variety of tire seats

The technology for manufacturing seats from tires, illustrated by the given examples, can be used as a basis for other variable solutions. Showing imagination, everyone will be able to present their own unique design project.

If you use several tires, then you can make a chair with an elastic or massive back and armrests.

Having taken care of the solid base of the frame, the chair made of tires is placed on the furniture wheels.

Tires can be combined with other materials at hand. Wood elements (trunk parts of branches), nylon ropes or ropes will be used.

Anyone who is friendly with crochet or has knitting skills can surprise with even more variety.

Constructive transformations make it possible to make a chair from tires with maximum comfort for resting in it.

Car disks are used as a support-stand.

The space near the pool will be decorated with chaise lounges in a set with a table.

Having shown ingenuity, even a rocking chair is made from tires.

Automobile rubber is not the most environmentally friendly material. Under the influence of atmospheric factors, old tires exude toxic substances. This is especially dangerous in closed rooms with poor ventilation. Therefore, outdoor terraces are ideal places for tire chairs. There, tire furniture will not do any harm.

The garden, summer cottage and backyard plots are the pride of the owners, here you can embody the most original design solutions, using simple landscape design techniques to functionally decorate the space, making the rest as convenient and comfortable as possible. Garden furniture takes a special place in the improvement process, considering photos with examples, you can choose the best design option, make a chair out of tires with your own hands and divide the territory of the site into a recreation and work area.

A worn-out rubber tire can become an inexpensive and affordable raw material for the manufacture of various pieces of furniture, if the choice is on chairs located in the recreation area, then it is important to think over the design of the structure in advance, there are many types of furniture:

  • armchairs with backrests, armrests and ottomans. Stable and comfortable, they can be installed separately in the garden or next to the house, in gazebos, if desired, whole compositions and sets are created;

Armchair with backrest

  • products with a combination of materials. Original armchairs made of tires can be complemented by decor made of inexpensive plywood, rough and soft fabrics, ropes and ropes that are especially popular;

Tire armchair with original cover

  • mobile and stationary structures. Having equipped the armchair with fittings from old home furniture, you can freely move the structure around the terrace, place it in rainy weather under a canopy, in a gazebo.

Sun loungers with a table

A high-quality and reliable chair made of tires with your own hands can be made independently, this requires a little skill, the ability to use ordinary construction tools and a desire to transform the territory.

Selection of materials and stages of self-production

Having chosen the design you like from the options presented in the photographs, it is necessary to draw up a project and strictly follow the instructions, observing the manufacturing steps to obtain the maximum result:

  • selection of tools. To process wheels and durable rubber with a cord thread, you will need a construction stapler, a well-sharpened knife, a set of self-tapping screws, a silicone-based sealant or liquid nails, a screwdriver or a portable screwdriver;
  • preparation of materials. When making a chair from old tires, it is necessary to prepare in advance several tires of the same or different diameters, select additional materials for decoration and decoration, choose an aerosol, facade paint that is combined with textiles;
  • manufacturing process. In the course of work, it is important to take into account the safety principles, it is especially important to remember them when cutting a tire, connecting structural elements and forming a finished product, treating the joints with a sealant, cleaning open areas to apply paint;
  • installation of the structure. When constructing a chair from a tire of any modification, all work can be carried out directly at the installation site, if desired, the preparation and painting of the elements is carried out in the garage, under a canopy, and their fixation in a dedicated recreation area.

The rubber that has worked out its resource lends itself well to processing, is cut and has good plasticity, requiring reinforced fixation, ready-made chairs from old tires have high wear resistance and look great in the garden or at home, on an open terrace.

On two stacks of wheels

Washed, dried, degreased rubber wheels without discs are first painted with acrylic, bitumen, enamel paints.

The most acceptable dye mixture for processing tires - rubber paint... It can withstand hundreds of cycles of sudden temperature changes, as well as atmospheric precipitation, without cracking or deforming.

The tires are stacked one on top of the other in the place where the table needs to stand. You need to install two stacks tires 4 pieces, preferably in different colors, at a distance of about half a meter between the outer walls.

On top of two stacks of multi-colored tires, a rectangular sheet of strong material is laid flat, which is at hand:

  • flat plywood;
  • plastic;
  • thick shatterproof;
  • sheet metal.

To the top rail of each stack, table top fixed with four screws diagonally in the places of contact.

The edges of the sheet should protrude at least 10 centimeters beyond the outer diameter of the tires.

The table top can also be painted in any color pleasing to the eye.

To prevent the wheels from moving, there are two ways to fix them:

  • inside each tire stack pour earth or sand;
  • every joint between tires smear with a layer of binder- hot 1 cm thick, which will allow the tires to stick to each other reliably after drying.

Depending on the design, such a table is perfect for a summer cottage, a playground, or a garage.

Conclusion

The main process of creating crafts is a flight of imagination and collective creativity. The whole family can be involved in the manufacture of furniture, and children will be happy to participate. So dacha masterpieces are born from old worn-out tires.

In contact with

Every year, a huge number of old tires are thrown away in the country, from which you can make a lot of useful things, for example, do-it-yourself furniture from tires. In our country, the direction of recycling tires for cars is rather poorly developed, as a result of which some of the old wheels are garbage and fill landfills.

In order to make chairs out of tires, you need to wrap the tires with fabric ribbons or straps intertwined with each other.

Old tires can be used in the manufacture of various crafts and furniture that will perfectly fit into the interior of any private house or summer cottage. Many summer residents are interested in how to make crafts or pieces of furniture from old tires with their own hands. Making products from old tires can be called an alternative type of recycling or giving a second life to used tires.

To make a chair you will need: two car tires, foam rubber, felt, self-tapping screws, a screwdriver, a furniture stapler.

This art appeared in our country quite recently and quickly gained great popularity. Today's houses, cottages and summer cottages are not complete without products made from old wheels. You can make any curiosity without any problems, having the necessary tools for this, which will be needed in processing this strong material.

Currently, furniture made from waste tires is very popular. The transformation of an old wheel into modern furniture is as follows: before starting work on creating a furniture masterpiece, the tire must undergo thorough processing and cleaning; for a long service life, it is coated with a special substance that makes its surface velvety or smooth to the touch. For color schemes, it is best to give preference to bright colors.

For example, the tabletop for the table can be made of plexiglass, and the ottomans in the central hole of the tire are filled with a soft fabric pillow with artificial filling. On request, tables and ottomans can be equipped with castors.

With the help of self-tapping screws and a screwdriver, car tires are connected to each other.

For modern furniture, wherever it is - in the country or in an apartment, such requirements as practicality and elegance are put forward, even if this furniture is made of old and unnecessary tires.

Today, amateur craftsmen with their own hands create real masterpieces from old car tires, looking at which you get great pleasure. These can be coffee tables, creative armchairs and garden furniture. Thanks to the useless rubbish in the form of old worn-out tires, you can radically change or emphasize the interior of any summer cottage.

Practical furniture made of this material will become a highlight in every home. For a family tea party, you can make an excellent summer cottage kit with your own hands, which will include a metal frame and old used tires.

Rocking chair for summer cottages

A rocking chair is a good option for relaxing in the country. In order to start making this piece of furniture, it is necessary to prepare drawings, after which the old dirty tires should be well cleaned, washed and covered with a special compound for further use in everyday life for a long time.

The frame of the chair has two wooden supports, on which the tires cut into strips are stretched, intertwined with each other in a rather complicated way. Due to the wooden frame, this piece of furniture is quite stable and comfortable, which provides a good opportunity to rest and relax.

Ottoman for garden and home

For the terrace and country garden, an ottoman made of used car wheels will be a great addition.

Stages of making an ottoman from old tires.

To bring it to life, you will need an OSB sheet, a waste tire, 40 m of rope, a piece of burlap, 4 wooden blocks and 4 wooden legs.

The cleaned and washed tire is sheathed with burlap using a large construction stapler. Wooden blocks are installed inside the tire - this is done so that the future ottoman does not deform and becomes stiffer. Using a screwdriver, a circle with a diameter of 56 cm is attached to the bar. A hole is drilled in the center of it, into which a rope is passed, then it is fixed on the cover of the ottoman in the form of a spiral (a construction stapler is also used for this). The same OSB circle and 4 wooden legs are attached to the bottom of the pouf. A garden ottoman made of tires is not afraid of changing climatic conditions, which means that it will last for more than one year.

According to amateur gardeners, there is never too much garden furniture, especially if it is original and handmade. A great gift for households and guests will be a set of chairs made of old waste tires, which can no longer be ridden, but you can relax with great comfort.

Soft furniture foam rubber and flexible plywood will help ensure such coziness. To make one chair, you will need a pair of car tires, a piece of bending plywood 100x90 cm, thick and thin foam rubber, a piece of felt, as well as a stapler for furniture, a screwdriver and self-tapping screws.

Felt is attached to the tires using a furniture stapler, and its excess is trimmed with scissors.

To begin with, car tires must be cleaned and washed, then connected from the inside to each other, using self-tapping screws. A round piece of felt must be attached to the lower wheel, corresponding to the size of the tires. Thanks to this bottom, the chair will move better on the floor. To get rid of excess felt, you need to cut them off along the edge of the wheel with scissors. The plywood should be bent in the same way as it lies in the circle of the tire, and attached with large self-tapping screws. A circle is made of wide foam rubber for furniture along the outer diameter of the wheel, two more circles must be made from thin foam, one slightly larger than the other, which will correspond to the inner diameter of the circle.

The large foam circle fits inside the top tire - a little effort is needed to do this. Thin foam circles are stacked on top to keep the seat tight and comfortable. The large circle is superimposed on top of the smaller one and secured to the wheel with a furniture stapler. A piece of thin foam rubber is attached to the back from all sides with a stapler, the excess is cut off. A pre-made cover is put on the finished frame.

Ottoman-transformer

Today, a wide variety of pillows and ottomans have surely become fashionable not only in the interior of an apartment, but also in a country house. By adding such a functional detail to the design of your favorite garden, you can afford to rest in the sun and in the shade of trees at any time.

The process of making a ottoman-transformer

Such a self-made creation has practically no costs - a transforming ottoman is a clear confirmation of this. Moreover, this item is not as simple as it seems at first glance, but has a small secret: this furniture can be used not only as a seat, but also as the basis of a garden table or a spacious mini-chest for various small things.

For work, you will need the following materials:

  • a pair of old car wheels of the same diameter;
  • a piece of thick plywood;
  • a cut of textile material;
  • construction stapler;
  • facade white spray paint or paint combined with textile material;
  • liquid nails or silicone based sealant.

Assembling the transformer:

  1. To begin with, both wheels must be sprayed and dried, then apply a thick layer of paint, matched to the color of the textile material, and dry again.
  2. Apply silicone sealant or liquid nails in the form of traced lines to one of the tires, then install the second tire, pressing it firmly against the first.
  3. It is necessary to cut a circle out of plywood, which will be smaller in diameter than the outer diameter of the wheel.
  4. After all the manipulations, the circle made of plywood should be covered with a cloth and secured with a construction stapler. Put the finished circle covered with material on the prepared base.

You need to know that the seat or tabletop can be removable if desired, so the space that is inside is appropriate to use for storing any small things.

In addition to furniture, the summer cottage can be decorated with various crafts from old used tires - it can be a small pool or a flower bed. Figures of various animals are also welcome (a donkey with a cart, a frog princess, a parrot, swans) or a path for a garden made of old wheels.

Nowadays it is becoming fashionable to give a second life to used things or objects. People who have country houses and summer cottages are especially fond of this.

Car tires are growing in popularity. Initially, they began to be used to decorate the garden in the form of flower beds. But it turns out that you can make very comfortable and functional furniture from car tires with your own hands.

Having shown imagination, having gained a little patience and with a little effort, you can create with your own hands a complete set of furniture from car tires.

Let's take a look at some of the furniture options that can be made.

Coffee table

A necessary thing in the interior is a coffee table. And if it is also made by hand and from such an unusual material, it gives it even greater value.

To make this piece of furniture, you will need used car tires, a sheet of plywood or plexiglass, a drill, self-tapping screws, a glue gun, paint or any other finishing accessories.

Decide what your table will be like and get to work.

  • First of all, we thoroughly rinse the tires and remove everything that interferes.
  • We fasten the tires together with a drill and self-tapping screws. Try to do it as tightly as possible, because the life of the table will depend on it.

Depending on the design of the table, you can paint it with paint, or wrap it with a natural cord or rope. The paint is best used from a spray can, it will lie more evenly.

If you use a tourniquet or rope, then use a glue gun to glue it to the tire, gradually braiding around the circumference.

Make a tabletop from a sheet of plywood or plexiglass. If your tabletop is made of plywood, then you need to cut a circle with a diameter slightly less than the diameter of the tire.

And if made of glass, then a diameter larger than the tire itself will look better. Attach the tabletop carefully to the tire base with glue. Decorate the countertop to your liking.

Attach the bottom of the table by cutting a circle out of the plywood and securing it to the rails with self-tapping screws. Castors or legs can be made if desired.

And now your exclusive coffee table is ready!

In a set for the table, you can make nice soft ottomans from car tires.

Tire ottomans for a group of friends

Such ottomans will always come in handy in the country. By inviting your friends to a barbecue, you can be sure that they will be accommodated on them with comfort.

To make soft ottomans, you will need used tires, thick foam rubber, plywood sheets and the fabric you have chosen for finishing. Progress:

We wash and thoroughly process tires.

We fasten the tires together for higher ottomans, using a drill and fasteners.

Cut out the bottom and seat for the ottoman from a sheet of plywood. And also from the foam we cut out a circle equal to the diameter of the tire. We fix plywood with self-tapping screws, and foam rubber to plywood with glue.

We cover the ottoman with fabric using a furniture stapler or a glue gun. We decorate according to your taste.

As you can see, with a little skill and creative imagination, you can quickly make exclusive seats for a fun company.

Diy sofa made of tires

For a complete furniture set, you can also make a sofa from tires with your own hands. In manufacturing, it is a little more complicated than a table and ottomans, but still quite doable.

To make it, you will need the following materials:

  • Large truck tire
  • Foam rubber of 2 types
  • Stapler for furniture
  • Thick plywood sheet
  • Fabric for covering the sofa and for its upholstery
  • Wooden bars for the back of the sofa
  • Nuts, bolts

As you can see, the materials are quite affordable to make a comfortable sofa with your own hands.

Let's get to work:

  • Cut a circle out of a plywood sheet by 3 cm less than the diameter of the tire.
  • We attach the plywood to the tire with a drill and self-tapping screws.
  • From thicker foam rubber we cut out circles with a diameter larger than a circle made of plywood. Using a glue gun, glue the foam rubber to the plywood.

We make the base of our sofa. We attach thin foam rubber to the tire using a stapler. If your sofa has legs, then along the perimeter of the base we make markings where they will be located.

We take the fabric to cover the base and pull it tight with furniture staples. Further, if required, we cut out the holes and fasten the legs of the sofa with bolts.

We make the back of the sofa from wooden blocks. Using fastening material, we attach it to the side of the structure.

The final episode of the creative work on the manufacture of a sofa from tires will be the design of the soft back of the sofa. We take the foam rubber, fold it in two layers and pack it in a cover made of fabric, which is the same as the seat of our sofa. We attach the soft cover to the back of the sofa with glue.

At the end of the design, you can cover the sofa with the same fabric that was used to decorate the ottomans. And then the kit will look like a whole.

If you did everything with high quality in the manufacture of furniture from tires, putting your soul into it, then such furniture will serve you for many years.

Wash the tires thoroughly with special products and dry them thoroughly.

For painting, it is better to use acrylic paints or spray paints. They are easier to work with and more accurate results.

Before starting work, carefully check all tires for sharp elements so that you do not get hurt in the process.

And also from car tires, if desired, you can make a chaise longue for sunbathing, a couch, and even a full bed. It all depends on your desire and creativity.
