upcycled tyre ottoman

...finally...yes, finally i needed new tyres...and finally i could upcycle my old ones.

nothing special and actually the most obvious thing to do with old tyres...repurposed to something you can sit on...an ottoman...a stool...a chair...what ever you call it...i made one...ohh no, i made two.

...you will get the perfect result for painting tyres with spray-paint...perfect...???...not me...i am so bloody imperfect...so i did it the hard way and used a brush and a sponge...not perfect...more rustic...but i like it...!!

which way ever to choose...it is rather simple and does not take that much time.





this is what you need




- an old tyre

- its wheel hub cap

- hot glue gun

- paint 

- brush

- sponge

- big round pillow


this is what you have to do






- hot-glue the wheel hub cap onto the tyre




- paint the tyre 


- you might need a few coats, i applied two additionals coats with a sponge




- place your huge round pillow on top of the painted tyre




- take a seat and enjoy
