2. Make the holes

Once you have the piece of wood to hold the metal bowl, make the holes that will allow you to attach it to the tire. Mark four equidistant spots on the wood and use a drill to make the holes. Use those same holes to mark the points to be drilled on the tire and make as many holes.

3. Paint the pieces

Before joining the tire and the piece of wood, paint both parts. Clean the surface of the tire well with the help of a brush and apply a layer of primer for plastics: this will unify the adhesion of the paint over the entire surface of the tire. Paint the wheel with spray paint. Instead, we used multi-surface acrylic paint for the piece of wood. Paint and let dry.

4. Put the pieces together

When you have the pieces painted and dry, fix the wooden base to the tire using metric screws.

5. Decorate the tire

To give your new drinking fountain an even more special and distinctive touch, decorate the surface with footprints painted with a little acrylic paint. If you are not the most skilled person in the world painting freehand, you can help yourself with a template made with paper, as we have done.

When your prints are dry, put the metal bowl and … tachán! You already have a perfect pet drinker to put on your terrace. Tell us what you think in the comments!
