You switched from winter to summer tyres on your vehicle. What happens next? For next year, you could keep the tyres in the garage. But do they appear a bit worn out and useless? Here is a list of our top creative uses for your spare or used tyres. 

​

These are our top five suggestions for recycling and reusing your used Winter Tyres Faringdon, regardless of whether you enjoy doing crafts or want to take on a new project.

​

1. The Perfect Recycled Foot Stool

How about making a precisely rounded footrest for something a little more elaborate? This cheerful small footstool is a great addition to your living room or garden and may be created from recycled or eco-friendly materials.

​

The following supplies are needed to assemble this recycled tyre footstool:

• A tiny, around 12-inch tyre with thirty meters of 12-mm rope

• A 50cm-square wooden piece

• 50 cm square of cushioning

 

After completely covering the tyre with superglue rope, measure the inner circle, cut it out, and cover it with a material of your choice. Why not recycle an old duvet, curtains, or even an unused piece of clothing to create the ideal eco-friendly footstool?

​

By doing this, you may avoid having to buy new materials, which makes creating this footstool both economical and environmentally beneficial. You'll need to use sharp scissors and a jigsaw to make this footstool, so be careful when using it to prevent any mishaps.

​

2. Innovative Planters to Bring Life to Your Garden

Making planters out of used tyres is a creative way to recycle them. First, choose whether you want a floor planter, wall planter, hanging planter, or a combination of the three. 

​

Simply cover the inside of the tyre with a natural liner, fill it with soil, and then plant your favourite succulents or flowers to create a wall or hanging planter.

As seen in the picture above, double up the rope around the tyre and hang it from a tree, a terraced roof, a garden fence, or a wall. To really bring life to your outdoor sanctuary, you may even paint the tyres a variety of colours. You can create floor planters by putting a tyre in the desired location on lawns or flowerbeds, filling it with dirt, and then starting to plant.

​

3. A Garden Table

Making a lovely garden table is one of the simplest ways to recycle some old tyres you may have lying around. All you have to do is paint the tyres the colour of your choice, stack them, and then use industrial superglue to adhere them together before placing your preferred tabletop on top.

Tyre tables have the amazing quality of being completely adaptable to any preferred materials and colours. When you proudly display this gorgeous table in your garden, it will undoubtedly become the talk of the town at the next BBQ or garden party.

​

4. Floral Wreath

How about making a flower wreath out of an old tyre for a low-maintenance yard feature? Put your favourite flowers inside a tyre, or use artificial ones if you like. As with a classic wreath, you can adorn the flower-filled tyre with ribbon, rope, or any other type of fabric.

Succulents are among the most adaptable plants available in the UK, ranging from adorable little cactus to delicious aloe vera. Succulents are a great option for people who like the beauty of plants but do not have the time to maintain them because they can survive longer without water. 

​

Because of their ability to filter the air, they are great in bedrooms, but what about outside in the garden? The ideal home for these plants is a half-cut tyre that you can use as a basis for your succulents. To prevent any from falling out once you hang them on your garden shed door, fill the tyre with dirt and plant them firmly.

​

This rack is a terrific method to keep your bike safe and is ideal for families who have several bikes tossed in the shed or for businesses seeking a creative way to encourage employees to ride to work.

​

This is only advised if you are familiar with power tool safety since you will need to cut each tyre in half before placing it on the ground. Every half-tyre needs to be embedded in gravel or, if it's on a hardwood deck, secured with super glue.

​

5. An Indoor Pouffe

You would be shocked to learn that recycling tyres entailed anything more than beautifying an outside area! Even more stylish pieces of furniture, like this adorable indoor pouffe seat, can be made to complement a cosy space.

​

After cleaning an old tyre, wrap, tie, and knot the tyre's circle with thick wool. Make every effort to limit the number of knots to the interior of the tyre. For a striking main piece, use different coloured wool and add a blanket or cushion to cosy up in.

​

These garden chairs are a fantastic summer project for a die-hard do-it-yourselfer. Three Tyres Faringdon, ski rope, aluminium fasteners, and some repurposed wood are all you need to assemble one of these amazing recycled chairs.

​

Ask your friends and relatives to donate their old or extra tyres so you may create an entire set of chairs for your upcoming outdoor party if you're feeling particularly daring.
