We glue the upper round timber of plywood with foam rubber, and attach this material to the side of the tire with a furniture stapler. We will make a cover, which we will stretch from above. If you have small squares of bars, then you can paint them and make legs from them;
Country style method. Take a thick braided rope, wrap the ottoman, not forgetting to fix it with glue. We glue both round timber first in a spiral, then - the side parts of the wheel. We hide the ends of the rope, cover it with varnish on top.
