A Modern Approach To The Recycled Tire Coffee Table
Using old recycled, unwanted tires, you’ll also be able to make this elegant, tasteful, and classy office or lounge-chair, which is perfect for at-home or outdoor use.
As you can see, the tire has been wrapped in durable twine, and you’ll also need a hammer and screws – or drill – to put it all together and make it just right. Why spend hundreds of dollars on IKEA furniture, when you can put your own together with less than $5 from the local hardware store?

The Perfect DIY Recycled Tire Doggy Bed
Doggy Beds can be super expensive! So, we’ve come up with a DIY recycled tire project that’ll cost less than a dollar and can be made using everyday things from around your home.
Best of all, this DIY Recycled Tire Project can be made cost-free, by just painting the tire to you or your pups liking, and then putting an old or unused pillow in the center to maximize comfort for your furry friend. ust make sure you wash the tire thoroughly first before painting and bringing in your home, or giving it to your pet – preferably leaving it out for a day to dry in the sun to kill any lingering bacteria. Check out The Whoot link below for details.
