Once damaged or worn out, tires are usually either thrown away or end up taking up space in the back of a garage. Tires can actually be given a new life by being upcycled into new items for your home.
More than just your typical tire swing, these crafts are both unique and pretty to look at. Check out these five crafts to see how you can put your old tires to better use.

1. Pet bed
If you own a tiny furry friend, then you must check out this DIY pet bed. The pompon garland makes this pet bed so fun and adorable. The bonus? Because the cushion just sits inside the tire, you can easily remove it and pop it in the washing machine when you need to.

2. Garden planter
Succulents grow just about anywhere, even in tires. This planter has a rustic look but with the addition of pastel-colored succulents, it becomes balanced and not too masculine. Also, because the tire used in this project is quite small, this planter fits in not only backyards but also smaller outdoor spaces such as patios or balconies.
