Use String to Repurpose

Many people take the tires on their cars for granted, but these things are incredibly versatile. They can be turned into so many amazing things, including furniture! Sometimes, you don't need a huge amount of skill to turn old tires into furniture, either. All you need is a bit of string and some wood thrown in for good measure. Take these tire tables, chairs, and the matching footstools, for example.

They're all so useful to the person who brought this DIY project to life, and we bet they're also super proud of their creation. Plus, it freed up space in their garage!

Add Fun to Your Yard With a Minion Scarecrow

Scarecrows are part and parcel of having lots of land and crops. That's because these pesky birds will peck at your produce and cause a huge mess on your land, given the chance, and so you need to take that chance away from them. And while most people make scarecrows using wooden poles, old clothes, and a whole load of dried grass, it seems as though there's another way.

By stacking a few old tires on top of each other and then decorating them accordingly, you can make your very own Minion scarecrow. Just remember to stock up on yellow spray paint.

Jazz up Your Christmas Wreath by Making It Out of a Tire

If you're a fan of door wreaths, we really don't blame you. These wreaths are becoming more and more common and are a way for you to personalize your front door without having to do any major building work or spend a huge amount of money. But if you don't know how to make one of these wreaths, it's pretty easy to DIY one yourself. In fact, you can even use old tires as your base.

Of course, you'll need a small tire for this DIY project, but you can then fill the inside with soil and plant the floral arrangement of your choice. Alternatively, you could stick faux flowers onto the tire.

Create an Impressive Hanging Garden

If you have a small yard and not a lot of room to work with, you might assume that you can't plant any flowers or greenery. But that's not the case at all. When you have limited floor space, you need to look up - and that's where a hanging garden can help you. You can make a hanging garden yourself using old tires, and there are so many ways to display these planters.

While you can definitely hang your planters on a wall, what you might not realize is that you can also hang planters from beams or trellises. This will give you even more space.

Build a House Out of Old Tires

Sure, we know that most people won't have the time or the energy to build their own house from old tires, but it's intriguing to know that it's possible. There are so many examples of these earth houses around the globe, and the fact that they're made up almost entirely of old tires is a true feat of engineering. But what we love most about them is the fact that they don't look like they're made out of tires when they're finished.

Instead, they look incredibly sculptural and stylish. And the unique shape of the tires even allows for a house that offers curves and edges, unlike any other house we've seen.

Make Your Own Armor

Whether you're a bigGame of Thronesfan and want to dress up like your favorite characters, or you're just looking for a way to showcase your creativity, why don't you repurpose your old tires to make armor? The end result can look outstanding when done correctly, and it's fair to say that this person has managed to absolutely nail this DIY project. In fact, it looks like real armor.

Just remember that tires are very dense and heavy, so this armor may still be very heavy once you've stripped it down into smaller parts. So, prepare yourself - and your back!

Light up Your Room With Tire Lamps

Lamps have the benefit of being both practical and beautiful. Of course, their main purpose is to light up a room. But some people don't want the boring cookie-cutter lamp that everyone else has. If that's you, then why not make an intricate tire lamp? You can make this design completely unique and personal to you, and you can even have the pleasure of knowing you crafted such a beauty.

Just remember that tires are pretty heavy, so you need to ensure that your ceiling has the capacity to hold such a weight. The last thing you want is your roof caving in.
