Coffee table from the bus own hands
Old car tires are commonly usedas decor for flower beds in the courtyard or garden. But they can also be used in the interior of an apartment. Today we will show a master class on how to make a coffee table from a tire with your own hands in eco-style.
The used bald rubber of an old tire has nothe most pleasant appearance, so we will hide the entire surface of the tire behind a covering made of natural rope. For this purpose, you can choose any rope, both natural and synthetic, twine or decorative cord. The density of the finish depends on the diameter of the rope. With a thin cord you will have to work longer, but the end result will be more elegant.
How to make your own hands a coffee table from the tire
To make a coffee table from a tire with your own hands, you will need:
- old tire;
- two plywood wheels with a diameter slightly smaller than the tire;
- rope, harness or cord;
- glue gun or super-glue in a tube;
- drill, self-tapping screws;
- finish coat (special wax or varnish);
- castors.
Attach the plywood circles to the tire on both sides.To do this, you can use a drill, self-tapping screws and a screwdriver, or glue the plywood with superglue. By the way, you can provide that the plywood lid can be opened, and things can be stored in the table. Then the plywood circle needs to be attached on hinges or rope handles must be made, with the help of which the lid will be completely removed.
Then we proceed to the decorative finishing of the table.rope. We start from the middle of the tabletop. It will be more convenient to use a glue gun rather than glue in a tube. Apply glue to the middle of the tabletop, make a small circle out of the rope and begin to braid the tabletop from the center to the edges in a circle. Do not forget to constantly use glue so that the rope covering does not come off during use of the table.
Turn the table top down and continue braiding in a circle, completely covering the rubber of the tire.
The bottom of the coffee table does not need to be braided. Cut the rope and secure the end well with glue. If you wish, you can attach small legs or wheels to the bottom.
Cover the finished coffee table with a finishing coat.
