It is always nice to make something useful out of a junk item, and if the craft turns out to be beautiful as well, the pleasure is double. One example is tire crafts. They make decorations for a country or garden plot, various flowerpots and flower girls, build children's attractions and even make country furniture - tables and chairs.

Flowerbeds and flower beds from tires

Let's start with the most, perhaps, simple flower beds and flower beds. Do you think it is difficult to make a multi-tiered one? Maybe, but not from tires. Take several pieces of different sizes, paint them in bright colors and fold them in a slide - one on top of the other. To prevent your slide from falling apart, fasten the tires from the inside with a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. Two per connection will suffice. Inside you fill up the soil, plant the plants. So that the soil does not spill out, you can lay the tire inside with a piece. It will remove excess water, but will not allow the earth to get enough sleep. A beautiful tiered flower garden is ready.

If you like flower beds of the correct form, you can make these. For example, folding a flower bed in the form of a camomile out of tires. First, lay out and fasten the tires together in the lower tier. Fill the middle of the tires with earth, as well as the free space inside the circle. There, for better drainage, you can lay broken bricks or other construction debris, sprinkle a little earth on top and tamp. On the prepared surface, stepping back from the edge by more than half the diameter of the tire, lay out the second tier. They are also fastened together, the middle is covered with soil, and the core is erected on top. At the very top, you can plant tall flowers, and on the lower tiers - curb or undersized.

Another option for flowerbeds of tires in the form of chamomile is in one tier. To do this, you will have to cut the tires.

How to cut tires

In general, when making crafts from tires, they often need to be cut. This is far from easy. It is more or less easy to cut off the side surface from the tread. People with strong hands and good knives do it by hand. Good, by the way, training for the hands and the entire shoulder girdle. If you already cut with a knife, lubricate the blade with grease: rubber constantly “jams” the metal, and the blade coated with grease slips well.

You can also cut off the sidewall with a jigsaw or grinder. Cutting with a grinder is relatively fast, but the stench is wild. Therefore, the grinder, even if there is one, only makes the first cut, so that you can introduce a jigsaw file. Further work with this tool. For cutting rubber, a blade with a reverse tooth made of good steel is taken.

If you have to cut the tread, it is useless to do it with a jigsaw or even more so with a knife. At least with an ordinary knife. Blades made of special steel can even cut iron cord, but hardly anyone wants to disfigure such a tool on an old tire. Therefore, most often they work as a grinder. To avoid trouble, the protector is fixed: always think about safety. If the sidewalls are already cut off, the tread band is quite elastic and can be compressed with a clamp. Cut, it does not spring.

Flowerpot from the wheel: turn out the tires

If there is a tire with an old rim, you can make a flowerpot on a leg out of it.

To do this, cut one sidewall along the tread. And they turn out. This is not an easy task: it requires considerable physical strength and perseverance. The rubber is elastic and it is impossible to turn it out the first time. If not at all, notches are made on the outside across the tread. They should be quite deep, but not through. It will also help if you make cuts along the edge with a depth of at least 5-7 centimeters. They will look like fringes on an inverted tire.

Why turn out? The inner surface is smoother, and the shape can turn out to be more interesting, especially if the edge is not linear, but jagged. You will get a gracefully bent decoration.

For details on how to turn a tire, see the video.

Similarly, you can turn out a tire without a rim. The sequence of actions is the same. First, one of the sidewalls is cut off - straight or in a zigzag. In order for the "petals" to be even, it is desirable to mark them. It is convenient to do this with chalk. According to the mark, they are then cut with an electric jigsaw or a knife (if the cord is synthetic).

They twist it like this: they step on the inside of the tire, take the edge with their hands and pull it up and towards themselves. It is important to achieve the first result: when at least some part is arched. If the tire looks like the photo below, this is already a success. It is developed by consistently turning the edge inside out and standing on the part that has already been turned out so that it does not turn back out.

Watch the process again in the video. This time, the tire is turned out without a wheel (by the way, they cut it with a knife).

Even by itself, such an inside-out tire looks good. If you paint it, it gets even better. If desired, they can be combined - different colors, sizes, installed in different ways: on a tire or on legs.

A high flower bed always looks beautiful. Especially with ampelous plants. It can also be made from tires, and there are several possibilities. In the photo below, there are two ways to fix the cut tires at different levels. The first is to use stumps for this, to which flowerpots are attached with nails or self-tapping screws. The second is to use reinforcement - three or four rods, on which to put rubber. Having set the tier at the right level, it needs to be fixed; on metal, this can only be done with the help of clamps.

It is not always possible to put a flowerpot on the ground: some areas are so developed that it is problematic to single out even one square meter. In this case, people came up with various hanging flowerpots, and also from old tires. Only a small part of the whole tire remains, so there is a lot of cutting ... please be patient. For example, you can make hanging planters in the form of a dolphin, parrot, rooster and other outlandish birds. For a few ideas, see photos.

Tire planter - parrot, rooster and dolphin

All these tire crafts. Only a small part of them - the heads - are often made of dense foam. Having cut and polished the part of the desired shape, it is fixed with self-tapping screws smeared with glue (this is a secret, remember), and then painted. How to make a parrot from a tire, see the video.

Below are step-by-step photos that capture the main stages of creating a table or ottoman from a tire. You will need two more circles of plywood or fiberboard of a suitable diameter, a hemp rope is used for finishing. Of the materials at hand, you will need glue and a glue gun, as well as varnish and a brush for applying it. To connect the circles with the tire, you will also need self-tapping screws - 8-10 pieces on each side.

Next, we take a glue gun and warm up the glue, apply it to the sidewall. If there is no such luxury in the household, take glue, which is in a larger tube, such as "liquid nails". It is easier to work with a mounting gun. Apply the strip on the sidewall, glue the hemp rope. Yes, all the way to the top.

Using the same technology, we decorate the cover of the table (ottoman). You need to start laying from the middle: apply glue, lay the rope.

Finishing work - applying varnish. We do slowly, soaking well. Here is what should be the result. If you made a table, you can put glass on top - a rope, even varnished, is not the best cover for a table, although it is beautiful ...

Variety can be achieved through a cover. It can be sewn from a vending dense material.

Cute puff…

You can knit - large knitting looks interesting.

Large knitted knitted cover - looks interesting

If you don’t feel like sewing and knitting, you can use old knitwear cut into strips. They are cut into long strips 3-5 cm thick, wound into balls and then wrapped around an ottoman. It turns out interesting, especially if several colors are combined.

If you need a taller ottoman, twist the two tires together with self-tapping screws, and work on them in this form.

See the video for another option.

In our article we will talk about crafts from tires for the garden with your own hands. In the photo in the first part of the article - useful crafts that will make the life of any summer resident more convenient. In the second part, we have collected for you the most bright decorative crafts from tires- flowerpots, swans, hanging pots for ampelous flowers and workshops on their manufacture.

Part I. Useful do-it-yourself tire crafts

Non slip tracks

Number one in our hit parade is tire tracks. Firstly, you no longer have to fight with the grass growing on the paths. Secondly, reliable protectors will not let you slip. Thirdly, with such paths you will not put dirt into the house.

Tire tracks are durable, and it’s not difficult to make them: cut off the treads and use nails (or better, self-tapping screws) to attach them to several transverse sticks.

Reliable steps

Who happened to fall down the stairs, he will appreciate the reliability of the coating on these steps.

Textured border

Tires usually have a pretty nice pattern. It can be used to decorate the lower part of a small utility room. At the same time, you will save the walls from the inevitable dust and dirt.

Before making such crafts from tires it is important to make sure that the length of the protectors with the same pattern is enough to decorate the entire room.

cheap tire seat

Who would have thought, but the tires are convenient to use as garden "ottomans" - however, they are quite solid. Such do-it-yourself tire crafts are easy to make, the only negative is that they are quite heavy and not very convenient to drag.

Convenient bike parking

Do you have a family of avid cyclists? Make a tire bike rack for the whole family. And most importantly, when a new cyclist appears, it will be very easy to expand it.

Part II. DIY decorative crafts from tires

Ground flowerpots

A “chamomile” is cut from the top of the tire, then the tire is turned inside out. It remains to paint it, and the flower container will be ready. If the tire is not removed from the base, you can make a flowerpot with a leg.

The most time-consuming operation is the eversion of the tire. There is a little trick: when you turn the tire about halfway, press on it to make an oval - then the work will become easier.

Combine several tires, experiment with the shape of the petals and coloring, and your crafts - flowerpots from tires - will be different from others.

Tire swans

Swans are a classic tire craft. The technology is about the same. In the photo - instructions for this do-it-yourself garden tire craft.

1. Draw a cutting pattern on the tire.

2. Cut the tire according to the scheme (first the head, then the tail and feathers).

3. Turn out the tire.

4. Make a beak and paint it red.

5. Fold the 2 halves of the head together, insert the beak between them, fasten with self-tapping screws.

6. Raise your head and press it down a little. Fix the formed fold with self-tapping screws.

7. Color the swan, decorate the eyes to close the screws.

Tire cutting options may vary slightly. Choose the one you like more.

Exotic birds from tires

With a little free time and unnecessary tires left, you can easily create crafts from car tires for the playground with your own hands. We will provide you with ready-made ideas, photos and diagrams that clearly show how to cut and make toys and products for kids. Usually, in the territory of the post-Soviet countries, tires are used to protect school and kindergarten territories, courtyard flower beds. We offer several fun options for crafts that will decorate the playing area and bring the kids to complete delight!

Variants of children's crafts from old car tires.

Sandboxes

One of the most common and easy crafts to make is a children's sandbox. To create it, you can use either one large tractor tire (convenient for one child under 5 years old), or several tires from a car.

To make a sandbox, you will need the following materials:

• Tires (one or more).
• insulating material.
• Spray cans with waterproof paints of the desired shades.
• Washed sand.
• Shovel.

It is convenient to make a sandbox for one kid from one big tire. To protect from the sun, you can install an umbrella in the center.

Step by step process:

1. It is necessary to dig a recess along the diameter of the future sandbox. It will help to fix the tire and reduce its height if you are using a large tractor tire.
2. At the bottom of the recess you need to lay insulating material. Its use will allow the sand not to mix with the ground, prevent the germination of weeds and the ingress of insects into the sand from the ground.
3. The tire must be washed and covered with paints for outdoor use.
4. Next, it remains to install the tire in the recess and fill it with sand.

If several small tires are used to create a sandbox, they will first need to be cut with a jigsaw and laid in the selected shape.

In such a large sandbox-flower, it will be convenient for several kids to play.

A flower-shaped sandbox made of several tires is a convenient option for several children.

Swing

Another popular craft, so beloved by all kids, is the swing. There are several options for how to make them.

Option 1

For the manufacture of this type of hanging swing, you will need a reliable support in the form of a structure made of wooden beams or a metal frame. The tires must be cut into two parts, painted and tied with a strong cable to the support at the two edges.

Option 2

The next version of the hanging swing is more suitable for older children. They are made as simply as possible - a strong rope is attached to the tires placed horizontally or vertically by a metal hook and suspended from a support. Usually a strong branch of a tree acts as a support.

For the manufacture of swings, it is important to choose undamaged, durable tires that can easily withstand the load when riding.

Rocking chair-balancer

Another favorite type of swing for children is the swing-balancer. And tires are suitable for their manufacture as well as possible. Usually balancers are created in the form of horses, but you should not be limited to any shape or color.

Such a balance horse is suitable as a toy and decor for a playground, but if you remove the wooden base, the horse can be used for riding.

If you attach a steering wheel from an unnecessary bicycle to the balancer, you get a great toy for a child, which will be comfortable to hold on to while riding.

Vehicles

Crafts from cars, tractors and trucks for the playground will delight the kids! Products can be of varying complexity depending on the skills of the master.

Figures of animals and characters

Making figures of animals and characters is another original idea for using tires in the playground. Obviously, kids will not be able to play with such products, but they will organically fit into the exterior of the playing area and will definitely cheer up both children and adults.

Arrangement of a sports and playground

A children's playground can be completely made of tires. In addition to the elements already listed (ordinary swings and balance beams, sandboxes, figures), various obstacle courses, transitions, and climbing elements can be made from unnecessary car tires.

1. The snail train can serve as a bench or a climbing simulator for the little ones.
