Garden animals – There are many different ways old tires can be turned into animals. The difficulty of the projects vary, but there is a project for everyone. Tire animals are especially great for families with kids. Here is an article with 40 examples to give you some inspiration!

Table – Put the strength of old tires to use and make a table. Not only is this more sturdy than other tables, but it’s also more environmentally friendly and can be a fun family project. Check out this table that could be used as an indoor or outdoor side table, and this man cave-esque table.
