Crafts for giving from tires with your own hands. Products from tires for the garden with their own hands (42 photos): figurines of a swan, caterpillar, bear cub, giraffe and crocodile

:Nika Nikitina: Terrible. What many people still don't know is that tires are made from super toxic materials. What will we grow?
Galina Levitskaya: Tire Club
Valentina Yatsuk: We will grow flowers, save lilies from mice
Maria Mikhailutsa: Nightmare!
Oleg Abramenko: Nika, firstly, these are old tires, and during many years of operation, most of the "poisons" have already successfully migrated into the atmosphere. Secondly, these tires are painted and thus the further migration of toxic compounds into the atmosphere is blocked. (In exactly the same way, carcinogenic asbestos sheets are neutralized - they are painted and the paint layer prevents the delamination and migration of fibers). And if you do not use these tires inside instead of food, then the harm from them is no more than from solar radiation.
Ksenia Kotelnikova:
Nika Nikitina: Oleg, wow! You would tell the Europeans what. And then the guys suffer, for the money they rent tires for recycling. And then again, and fertilizer for the garden ...
Ivan Zavadsky: Nika, I was wondering what kind of super-toxic substances tires are made of, huh? But what about environmental standards, without which you won’t sell anything in a normal country. It is also rubber in Africa.
Nika Nikitina: Ivan, I'm not a tire manufacturer. Google to the rescue, if you're really interested. From myself I can only say one thing: 6 lindens were planted in our yard. Someone smart put a tire on one, like these "curbs". Five are beauties, the sixth is small and unsightly. Guess what? For me the argument, for you I don't know. PS: And I have old tires in the barn. Been away for three years. They still stink.
Ivan Zavadsky: Nika, a tire worn on the trunk prevents the normal access of oxygen to the roots, which is especially important at an early stage. If products made from vulcanized rubber were so toxic, then we would certainly feel the consequences. Yes, and the same rubber boots are also made of rubber. The same polystyrene, of which the sea, is an order of magnitude more toxic, since over the years it releases styrene. And I heard the myth about the toxicity of tires for a long time, but I stubbornly refuse to believe in it. Otherwise, how to explain the existence of life in urban reservoirs, where many hundreds of these very tires are drowned all the time.
Nika Nikitina: Ivan, you are an adult and can believe in anything) I am not campaigning for you. Russia is big, there is a lot of land.
Ivan Zavadsky: Nick, just for information. If that tire were poisonous, all six lindens would grunt. So, the flower garden is quite good. And I don't understand why you paid attention to the rubber, but completely ignored the paint. Here it is just, it can easily do nasty things.
Nika Nikitina: 1. Ivan, we filmed it. A bit late, apparently. 2. Because the tires for the flower bed are fuuuu. With paint, without, even with rhinestones.
Ivan Zavadsky: Nick, it's a matter of taste. I would also prefer a tree or a natural stone but diversity is the beauty of the world.
Oleg Abramenko: Nika, you are confusing toxicity with the ability to decompose and recycle. PET bottles are also recycled, but, however, they contain drinking water spilled. But the poisons of ricin and curare instantly kill a person, but at the same time they are of completely organic origin and quickly decompose ...
Lily Karanova: And I believe that the garden should be decorated with beautiful well-groomed plants, and not painted barrels and tires.
Love Nekrasova: I also got into an argument because of such nonsense. Indeed, it is a matter of taste. For example, I have a pair of carved spray cans on the site, of which my husband made such masterpieces - in one I have a perennial carnation, in the other a beautifully hanging shaving and for more than a year I have been delighted with abundant flowering.
Elena Kotelnikova: The idea is terrible! Like at the car park. I'm amazed by the people who can like this.......

It is always nice to make something beautiful and useful out of junk things. A good example of such creativity is beautiful flowerbeds made of tires. They are easy to make and the benefits are enormous. But the fantasy of country masters is not limited to this. From old wheels, which often just lie on the road and pollute the environment, they make street furniture, sculptures for the garden, and even rebuild small children's towns.

Such a simple and unsightly material at first glance, like old car tires, in fact, seems to be specially created so that every summer resident can feel like a real artist and decorate his site with real designer flower beds and original author's sculptures. Without exaggeration, anything can be cut out of tires. Such crafts are on a par with those made from plastic bottles. all year round will delight the eyes of the owners and guests of the cottage, and most importantly, will not require special financial investments.

It's also nice that the benefits of the idea of ​​making DIY crafts from tires are twofold: on the one hand, we recycle the wheel that polluted the environment, and on the other, we get an original garden decoration or flower bed.

Crafts from used rubber tires are striking in their diversity and how rich the imagination of their authors is. Here are the most common ones:

Small flower bed. The easiest way to make flowerbeds from tires is to leave the tire as it is, just brightly decorate it and fill it with earth. Nothing complicated. Even a weak woman or child can handle this, and such a flower garden will look great.

Flower beds from old tires in the form various items. Make them harder. The tire is cut into two unequal parts and the larger one is turned inside out. It is worth noting that the edges of the tires can be made in various shapes, it's all about imagination and sleight of hand. In this technique, flower beds are made in the form of a mug, flower, vase. A huge rubber cup made of tires looks very funny. And some craftsmen, in this way, build a whole tea set on their site.

Flowerbeds and sculptures in the form of animals and fairy-tale characters. A funny frog made of tires, a kind gnome, a mysterious unicorn, beautiful swans, a three-headed dragon, a turtle, a luxurious carriage, a huge telephone - it's easier to list what is not made of this available material. The only condition is to think over the composition from the very beginning so that there are no unpleasant surprises later.

Multi-tiered flower beds of several tires. The simplest in execution is three-tier, but the number of parts can be more. Several tires of the same or different sizes are placed on top of each other or in a checkerboard pattern. A well made of tires looks spectacular, stylized as a real one and equipped with all its inherent attributes: a chain, a shaft with a visor, a bucket. Such a flower garden can also be used as a vertical bed for growing berries and vegetables.

A flowerbed for strawberries from tires will take up a minimum of space and give a rich harvest. It is perfect for growing seedlings, herbs, peppers. From such a flower bed, you can make a fence for a raspberry or currant bush, or make several of them and delimit the garden into cultural zones. It is worth mentioning that a well made of tires is often made not only decorative, but they mask a drainage pit or septic tank with it.

Experienced craftsmen and craftswomen know many secrets that help them create garden sculptures and flower beds from tires with their own hands. They understand better than anyone how to make unique and inimitable author's crafts out of old rubbish that no one needs. Here are just a few of those secrets:

• Imported tires are best suited for work, as the rubber on them is softer and easier to cut. But in their absence, domestic products will fit. In principle, they are quite easy to process and allow you to give crafts from them different shape.
• Tires designed for use in winter conditions are more pliable, easier to cut and easier to handle than those used in summer.
• The longer the tire has been used and the more worn it is, the thinner, softer and easier it will be to work with: cut and turn.
• Before you start creating crafts, the material must be prepared: thoroughly cleaned of dirt, and degreased before painting.
• To cut car tires, use a sharp knife with a thin butt. You can check how well it is sharpened by running the blade over a notebook sheet, holding it on weight. If the knife does not cut or tear the paper, it is not sharp enough.
• It is more convenient to cut a car tire for garden crafts if you periodically lubricate the knife with machine oil. So it will be easier to enter the rubber. The oil is suitable and used.
• When you need to cut out some curly elements, markings are applied to the tire. It will help to achieve a more accurate and accurate result. It is most convenient to apply it with ordinary white chalk, in extreme cases, with a marker.
• The durability of the craft depends on what paint to paint the rubber with. For old wheel tires, both car paints and any outdoor paints are suitable.
• Before painting a tire, it is recommended that its surface be primed. A primer with the addition of a small amount of PVA will increase the strength of the coating and reduce paint consumption.
• Paint in aerosol cans accelerate the staining process up to 20-30 minutes, and the painted layer itself is made more uniform.
• decorative trim can be made from improvised materials. For example, glue the surface with pebbles, bottle fragments, or lay out pictures from colored plastic bottle caps.

It is better to paint a flower bed from a tire not only from the outside, but also from inside. So they will look more aesthetically pleasing, and black rubber will not be visible from the inside.

Of course, each master has his own secrets, and it is unrealistic to list them all. And when you get into this exciting business - tire sculpture, they will certainly appear in yours.

Several workshops on making crafts from old tires

As mentioned above, tire crafts are diverse. Them appearance and the destination is limited only by the imagination of the master. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the basic models. After reviewing them, you will learn how to make a flower bed out of tires with your own hands and you will be able to create original, different and useful garden accessories yourself.

Simple flower bed

A small flower bed, made like a daisy from a single tire, is the simplest basic model. You can make several such flower beds, arrange them hardly and decorate the approach to the house. Sometimes they are placed on paved or paved areas.

We will need:

1. One old tire.
2. Sharp knife.
3. Marker or chalk.

Mark the place of the cut with a marker. We will cut the tire along them, from thickening to thickening.

Before cutting tires, make sure that they do not have metal cords that can ruin the knife. Usually they are inserted into tires for trucks.

We cut the tire around the entire circumference with even zigzag petals of any shape of your choice (triangular, oval, semicircular).

We turn the tire over and work with its reverse side. Leading the knife along the thickening, cut out a circle from the back of the tire.

Then, around the entire circumference inside the tire, approximately every 20-25 cm, we make transverse cuts from the cut edge to the bend (the end of the tread).

After that, the tire must be turned out. The flower bed is ready. It remains only to paint it, giving it a more attractive look, fill it with earth and plant plants.

For more clarity, watch the following video:

Garden flowerpot from an old wheel

From an old wheel, you can make a beautiful garden vase in a short time.
Such flowerpots look better in a pair in front of the house, on opposite sides of the door or porch. Consider a step-by-step master class on their manufacture.

We will need:

1. Tire with disk.
2. Sharp knife.
3. Chalk or marker.

With a chalk or a marker along the entire frontal circumference of the tire, we mark a zigzag line, along which we will begin to cut. Thanks to her, the flowerpot will look like large flower with many petals.

Cut the tire along the marked line with a sharp knife. To facilitate the process, the knife is periodically dipped in engine oil (used oil is also suitable).

After the wheel is cut, we check if there are any sections that are not completely cut out, and proceed to turn it inside out. It is better to do this together with an assistant, slowly, in parts.

After we managed to unscrew the tire for the future flower bed, it turned out that there is a chamber in the wheel. It needs to be cut out and thrown away.

The vase is ready. His bowl came from the main part of the wheel. It is not necessary to remove the disc from the tire. It serves as an elevation and stand for the vase, and the remains of the tire at its base provide additional support.

We just have to clean, degrease and decide how beautifully to paint our new garden vase. When you fill the bowl with earth, do not forget to put a gasket on its bottom so that the earth does not spill out and make several holes in it to drain the water.

Video instruction for making a flowerpot:

Swan from an old tire

The most popular garden tire sculptures are swans. Usually they are placed near an artificial pond, which gives the site a stunning look. You can plant grass in the bird itself, then it will give the impression that it is peeking out from behind the vegetation. Detailed information will help to make it. step-by-step instruction with photo.

We will need:

1. Sharp knife.
2. Electric drill for making holes for entering the rubber of the knife.
3. Sander or file.
4. Electric jigsaw.
5. Chalk or marker (marker is better).
6. Wire 5-6 mm in diameter (hard, to shape the neck of a "swan").
7. Plastic clamps (for shaping the head).
8. Roulette.
9. Gloves.

According to the scheme, we mark the contours of the future swan on the surface of the tire according to the following video, in which the author uses sizes in inches, calling them in the international measurement system - inch. Inch (1 inch) = 2.54 cm.

How beautiful and accurate our sculpture will turn out depends on the accuracy of the markup.

Let's start cutting. At the initial section, we drill 3-4 holes with a drill at a distance of 3-5 cm and cut the tire between them with a knife. We insert a jigsaw into the resulting cut and begin to cut out the swan.

After all the contours are cut out, we turn the tire out. We try to do it carefully, because careless movements in the thinnest places can tear it.

To make the bird's figure look neater, we smooth all the cuts along the contour with a grinder.

To shape the neck of a swan, we insert a wire into it. To do this, we drill holes in the center of the neck and to the end of the body every 20 cm. We impose the wire and fix it in the holes with soft staples.

We form the head. We make longitudinal cuts and holes, as shown in the photo and using the same wire or plastic clamps give the swan's head a shape.

Our tire swan is ready. It remains to paint it and make a stand.

The swan can be dyed White color or do not paint at all, leaving black. We make the beak red. Swans look very nice in a pair: black and white.

Without a stand, soft rubber swans will not stand. As it, you can simply take any tire and paint it, for example, in blue. Thus, it will symbolize the pond. And you can not be too lazy and make it curly.

We make a figured stand in the same way. We mark the contour on the tire along which we will cut, cut the tire along it, turn it inside out and paint.

In a similar technique, any figures can be made from tires: animals, birds, fairy-tale creatures.

But, if you don't want to mess around with complicated markings and cutting, you can do it easier. For example, to assemble a cute frog from whole tires.

A frog made of tires is very simple. A larger body and head are assembled from one or more tires, eyes are made from small wheels, for example, from a baby carriage, and paws are made from rubber scraps.

flowerbed chamomile

A decoration that is easier to make than this flower bed is hard to come up with. Despite the fact that you will need several car tires for it, you can assemble it in just 15-20 minutes, it looks pretty, neat and will never be superfluous.

We will need:

1. Three old tires of the same size.
2. Sharp knife or grinder.

All tires, having previously marked the places of cuts, are cut in half. Before cutting, find out if there are metal cords in the rubber. The knife will not take them, so use the grinder.

To give the future flower bed aesthetics, you can paint the tires. It is better to do this in advance, immediately after cutting.

Used tires - great material for registration of a personal plot, giving. The main requirement is a well-preserved shape of the tires, and then you only need a little imagination and a little free time.

Chair

Plywood back and legs from a former bedside table, plus a thick tire. Fasten the pieces together with strong screws. Fill the seat with a cushion or screw on a plywood circle. For decoration, decorative cords, upholstery fabric are suitable, and the street version can simply be painted.

Table

As a basis, you can take the old coffee table or assemble it yourself from a sheet of plywood (cut in the shape of a circle) and 4 legs. We put a tire on top of the tabletop, screw it with self-tapping screws and decorate it with a cord or rope. The rope is well fastened with ordinary PVA glue.

Border

We cut the tires in half. Do not save and do not cut, as sometimes advised, into 3 parts. If you dig the ends of the halves deeper into the ground, the structure will become almost eternal. And the high side will be a good barrier for both the scooter and the bike.

Clue! Color the finished fence, getting rid of the gloomy black.

Fence

It will take a lot of tires, but the result is worth it. We stack the tires on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern. We fasten them to each other with self-tapping screws. For stability, we cover each tier with earth, making the bottom in each ring from improvised material (plywood, rubber, tin). We plant lawn grass, girlish grapes or other ampelous plants in the ground. Every year this fence will only get prettier.

Newspaper

A deep tire is a good basis for a magazine rack. Cut in half or a third. We screw legs made of wood or metal. We choose the appropriate shade for painting to match the interior: silver, white, scarlet, etc. A stylish accessory is ready.

Swing

There are many options, from simple to complex. The easiest: choose a stronger branch of an old tree, and tie a tire to it with a strong rope. The bungee option is ready. Kids will be delighted if you use the loop mount, and attach the head and tail of the horse from the same rubber to the tire.

Flower bed and hanging flower bed

In any convenient place, we put a tire on the ground, fill it with good soil, plant flowers. A wonderful flower bed is ready. Children can be instructed to color the tire. With the help of acrylic and oil paints, it is easy to turn it into a work of art. If you have a chain and a place to hang it, then it is very easy to make a hanging planter. Using bolts, we fasten the chain to the wheel, and nail the bottom of the metal from below (an old bucket will do).

Advice! For hanging it is better to use tires not large diameter because they are lighter.

rocking chair

You will need: 1 tire, wide board, 2 handles. We cut the tire across in half and put the half on the ground with the ends up. We fasten the board to these ends with the help of 2 rails, which we screw with self-tapping screws both to the board and to the rubber. We fasten the handles at a convenient distance from the ends of the board. After the paint dries, you can call the children!

Wash basin

An outdoor washbasin is as easy as shelling pears to make from an old wheel. You will need a round sink that matches the inner diameter of the tire, a mixer and a drain connection. In this design, the tire plays the role of a cabinet that can be hung or placed (then we fasten several tires together).

Chandelier

A tire is a ready-made basis for ceiling lamp. It is easy to hide the conductive cable and fasteners behind the inner rim. You can hang such a chandelier from the ceiling on chains, decorative cords, special holders. Plafonds from old chandelier or new ones from the store will help to decorate the lamp beautifully.

A small diameter wheel from a wheelbarrow or baby stroller is a ready-made feeder for feathered guests garden plot. Tie a rope to it and hang it near the beds. You can decorate not only with paints, but also with tin figures, decorative brushes.

We remind you! Don't forget to feed!

Armchair

Lay two tires on top of each other and fasten with bolts. The hole can be closed with a piece of plywood or a mesh woven from strips of rubber. Cut the back and armrests from the third tire and fasten it to the seat with self-tapping screws. So the all-weather chair is ready, which will come in handy in the garden or by the pond.

Bicycle rack

Count the number of bicycles in the house and add 1 more. This is how many halves of old wheels you will need to organize parking. We cut the tires in half and dig the halves into the ground with their ends, lining them up in one row at a distance of 10–15 cm from each other.

Bed for a cat or dog

We buy a chassis in a furniture store - 4 small wheels with a strong metal mount. We take the tire and screw the chassis from the bottom side. From above we put a fluffy pillow into the hole. Now invite your pet for a test drive!

Trash can

Organizing an aesthetic garbage collection on the site is simple: you only need 2-3 old tires. We put them on top of each other, fasten them with screws and paint oil paint in a cheerful tone. Inside we put a strong plastic bag. You can use!

Sound column

For a subwoofer, a thick tire is an excellent case, and shockproof! You just need to attach the legs.

Palm

Find 2-3 strong logs of arbitrary shape and height. Sand well and paint. Screw 4-6 large leaves cut with garden shears from old tires to the upper end with screws. Color the leaves green for clarity. Dig "palms" on the playground into the ground. Under such an "umbrella" it is good to place swings, chairs, etc.

Sandbox

The success of the venture is in the large diameter of the tire. The tractor option is perfect! Just put the old wheel on a flat area and fill in clean sand. Place a beach umbrella in the center so that the little ones can play comfortably.

Stairs

A smart way out if the site has a large slope. A real stone staircase is an expensive pleasure, and old tires can simply be laid by lightly forming stops under them with a shovel in the ground. Over time, such "steps" themselves "grow" into the ground, strengthening the structure. Pour not too large gravel into the center or plant lawn grass.

An excellent projectile for future climbers is a board installed at an angle from a height of 1.5 m, to which tires are screwed in random order different diameter. Climbing such a slide is fun and very healthy!

Umbrella stand

We put the wheel on edge. From below we screw the furniture legs. From above we cut out round openings for umbrellas. For aesthetics, the holes can be decorated with eyelets. We choose a place in the hallway to attach a stand, best of all - in a free corner.

Playground figures

A sharp knife and an old tire - that's all the master needs to work. The network has a lot of samples for crafts made of thick rubber, but you can also be guided by your own imagination. Rooster, swan or goldfish instruct the kids to decorate - they will enthusiastically paint such sculptures with acrylic paints.

Pond

There are frogs on your site - organize a pond for them. Choose a location where there is access to water. Dig a large diameter tire into the ground. Put a thick piece of durable polyethylene inside with a call to the sides. Put a pebble on the bottom. Disguise the edges of the dug-in tire decorative stone. You can pour water!

Ottoman

Cut out two circles from a sheet of plywood, with a diameter slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the tire. Screw the circles on top and bottom, covering the through holes. Next, we take a thick decorative cord (several colors are possible) and carefully lay out the entire surface of the pouf with it, coil by coil, gluing it with PVA liquid glue.

Snowman

Such a snowman will not melt with the first spring warmth. Take some old tires and paint them white. For one of them, make a “face” out of plywood and draw eyes, a nose and a smile! An old bucket, a scarf and a whisk will only add realism.

mirror frame

Screw the tire flat to the wall and cover the hole with a round diameter mirror. This design is perfect for a shower in the country.

Advice! Take a narrow tire so that the mirror does not “steal” the space.

A swing-hammock will turn out of a large diameter tire, if you pull a strong mesh in the hole, and attach fasteners for 4 chains to a tree or other rack. It is important here not to be led by the kids, and not to hang the hammock too high.

Shoe sole

Worn out your favorite shoe? From a tire of small thickness, it is easy to cut a heel or patch of a suitable size, which is put on ordinary shoe glue.

Crafts from tires and tires are widely used to decorate the site of a kindergarten, a summer residence.

It is difficult to find cheaper material for decorating a playground, old wheels from cars. After viewing the photos and reading the instructions and master classes in our thematic section, you can see that tires in skillful hands can turn into not only original home-made garden decorations, decorative sculptures, but also often perform special functional tasks. They make excellent flowerpots, flower beds and flower beds from tires with their own hands. Tires dug into the ground are used as zoning of the territory or decoration of the playground. The wheels can be used as a sandbox, pond or pool.
