Introduction: DIY Recycled Coffee Table Under 5$

About: I create things from anything, I know all CAD softwares and I use them for fun and learning. I love making New projects let it be Crafting, 3D printing or Cooking!!!

Few days back I was browsing through internet for coffee tables as I needed one for my living room but I didn't find a good fit however, I found some good models on the internet but the were too expansive or lack the look what I wanted so I visited my garage for some inspiration and perhaps I could find something useful there and guess what I found my old car tires, so I decided to build my own recycled coffee table with these scratch tires.


Supplies

For the supplies you are required -

  • Waste tires
  • Jute fiber
  • Glue gun
  • Cut Plastic bottles for stand

Step 1: Making Up the Base

  •  To begin, cut a piece of cardboard into a circle and stick it to the tire's upper surface.
  • Once done, grab some jute fiber and coil it around the circle.
  • You can choose any fabric you like. I went with burlap and jute since I wanted a slightly rustic look.


Step 2: Coil ...Coil...Coil

  • In this step you just have to coil and coil around the whole tire this will take time so I recommend using a staple rather than using glue gun.
  • Till the entire tire is covered, repeat the aforementioned step.

Step 3: The Legs

  • For making the legs you can use plastic bottles or you can use wood pieces. I personally prefer waste plastic bottles as I wanted to recycle everything in this table.
  • Attach the cut plastic bottles using glue gun or you can use nuts and screws for extra strength.
  • Once done either you can paint the legs or you can cover up them with foam.

Step 4: Done

  • Congratulations on making your own recyclable coffee table !!! Enjoy your coffee !!!

Happy making : D
