Where to put old tires? This question worries many; in Russia, about a million people are thrown away every year. car tires. Summer residents actively use this resource to create crafts from tires for the garden, and they also actively decorate front gardens in city yards.

Crafts from car tires

The most common type of crafts made from tires are flower beds. To make a simple flower bed, just use a small piece of plywood, tires and paint.

We cut out a circle from plywood, its diameter should cover the bottom of the tire, screw it on using self-tapping screws and paint the resulting flowerbed in any color. When the paint is dry, install the flowerbed in right place and cover it with soil and plant flowers.

Large flower bed in the shape of a flower

Required materials:

• Three tires
• Gloves
• Wax pencil (you can use chalk)
• Sharp knife
• Electric jigsaw or grinder
• Galvanized nails
• Paint (one or more colors)

On each tire we draw petals for cutting; if you use a wax pencil, it will additionally lubricate the cut area. The ends can be made smooth or pointed; use a knife to cut out the contours of the petals.

We cut the resulting blanks into two parts with an electric jigsaw, after which we turn each part inside out. We connect the parts in pairs using galvanized nails, and then assemble the flowerbed together.

You can also use four parts (two tires) for a flower bed. We paint the flowerbed in one or several colors and, after drying, place it on a flat area with the petals facing up. We fill it with soil and plant flowers.

Coffee table and tire ottoman

Materials:

• Plywood
• Tire
• Self-tapping screws
• Rope rope
• Wheels (for version with table)
• Thermo gun

It is necessary to cut two circles from plywood, with a diameter that covers the tire, and secure them to the wheel using self-tapping screws. We wrap the workpiece with rope so that the layers fit tightly to each other, securing it with a heat gun. For the top, we twist the rope in a spiral and secure it with a heat gun.

The ottoman is ready, for the coffee table we screw the wheels to the bottom. It looks beautiful and unusual, and is also suitable for apartment use; the only drawback can be the weight of the product.

All work must be done with gloves and with extreme caution to protect your hands from cuts. There are a lot of options for crafts for the garden from tires, you can use them to make small fences, large flower beds for flowers and seedlings, they can also be used to make garden furniture(tables and chairs), various ottomans on the veranda.

Crafts from old tires for children

It is possible to make a playground with your own hands using tires. From them you can make two types of swings, sandboxes and decorations for the playground.

A large sandbox can be made by analogy with the previous master class with a large flower bed, if you add one or two more tires, you will get a sandbox for the entire yard.

Swing No. 1

Required materials:

• Tire
• Self-tapping screws
• Dye
• Old seat belts

We paint the tire and wait for the paint to dry completely. We close the hole inside the tire with seat belts and secure them with self-tapping screws. We tie the tire with chains on both sides (you can use strong ropes and cables). We fix the swing on the tree if suitable place no, you can make a base for a swing from timber.

Swing No. 2

Required materials:

• Tire
• Board and timber
• Bulgarian
• Self-tapping screws
• Dye

For the swing you will need a large wheel, cut it in half. We cut out two beams to strengthen the base of the swing, the size of the tire width. We make seats for swings from the board; the board should protrude 40 cm on both sides. We paint all the blanks in the desired color.

After drying, insert the timber into the tire from the side of the cuts and secure it on both sides with self-tapping screws. Afterwards we level the seating board and screw it to the reinforcing bars with self-tapping screws. Handles for swings can be made from old ones door handles, cable or rope. From the second part of the tire we make the second swing.

It is easy for creative people to come up with and make useful things from anything. Tires can easily be used to create furniture and much more. Various photos crafts made from tires can be found on the Internet, with their help you can find inspiration and improve crafts, adapt them for yourself, or make the same ones.

Idea No. 1. Making a flower bed from tires

Most easy scheme– we take an unnecessary tire, fill it with soil and plant plants. Of course it won't be unique decorative element garden design.

To fix everything, we take bright colors(acrylic or oil-based) and paint the tires. Next, we place them on top of each other, resulting in a multi-tiered flower bed.

An original solution would be a vertically located flower bed, folded in the shape of a pyramid. We fill the soil inside and plant climbing flowers - petunias or strawberries. On top you can place a pot with a single plant.

You can also make a hanging flowerbed from tires. To do this, you will need a steel chain - it will need to be attached to the tire and the entire structure will need to be suspended from a tree.

To prevent the soil from spilling, cover the bottom of the tire with a thick sheet of rubber or other suitable material.

An unusual solution would be to make flower beds in the form of a teapot and cups. All you need is a few tires and some scrap metal tape and pipes.

The figure of a swan is very popular. To make it you will need a tire without metal cord. It must be pre-marked.

For cutting, use a well-sharpened knife. Secure the swan neck with a metal rod. The final step is to coat the resulting product with white or black paint (depending on what kind of swan you want - white or black).

It’s enough to simply create a funny horse, zebra or giraffe. Such figures will require installation in the ground wooden beam medium size including tire.

You will need:

• strong horizontal branch;
• sharp knife and jigsaw;
• chain or strong rope;
• tire.

We tie the end of the rope into a loop; the knots must be strong and reliable. We throw the loop over the branch, pass the rest of the rope through it and tighten it. We place the tires perpendicular to the ground.

We pass the rope through them and fasten it at a height of approximately 0.9 m from the earth's surface. The swing is ready!

It’s always nice to make something useful out of a junk item, and if the craft turns out to be beautiful, it’s double the pleasure. One example is crafts made from tires. They are used to make decorations for a summer cottage or garden plot, various flowerpots and flower boxes, build children's attractions and even make country furniture - tables and chairs.

Flower beds and flower beds made from tires

Let's start with the most, perhaps, simple flower bed and flower beds. Do you think it’s difficult to make a multi-tiered one? Maybe, but not from tires. Take a few pieces different sizes, paint in bright colors and stack them in a heap - one on top of the other. To prevent your slide from falling apart, fasten the tires from the inside using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws. Two per connection will be enough. You fill the soil inside and plant the plants. To prevent the soil from spilling out, you can cover the inside of the tire with a piece of . It will remove excess water, but will not allow the soil to spill out. A beautiful tiered flower garden is ready.

If you like regular shaped flower beds, you can make these too. For example, making a flower bed in the shape of a chamomile out of tires. First, the tires in the lower tier are laid out and fastened together. Fill the middle of the tires with earth, as well as the free space inside the circle. There for better drainage can be laid broken brick or other construction waste, sprinkle a little earth on top and tamp down. 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 placed on top. You can plant tall flowers at the very top, and border or low-growing flowers on the lower tiers.

Another option for a flower bed made of tires in the shape of a chamomile - 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. Can be cut off more or less easily lateral surface from the tread. People with strong hands and with good knives they do it manually. By the way, a good workout for the hands and the entire shoulder girdle. If you are going to cut with a knife, lubricate the blade with grease: the rubber constantly “jams” the metal, and the blade covered with grease slides out well.

You can also cut the sidewall with a jigsaw or grinder. Cutting with a grinder is relatively quick, but the stench is wild. Therefore, with a grinder, even if there is one, only the first cut is made so that the jigsaw file can be inserted. Then they work with this tool. To cut rubber, take a blade with a reverse tooth made of good steel.

If you have to cut the tread, doing it with a jigsaw or, especially, with a knife is useless. At least with a regular knife. Blades made of special steel can even cut iron cord, but it is unlikely that anyone would want to disfigure such a tool. old tire. That’s why they most often work with an angle grinder. To avoid troubles, the protector is secured: always think about safety. If the sidewalls have already been cut off, the tread tape is quite elastic and can be compressed with a clamp. Once cut, it will not spring back.

Flowerpot from a wheel: turning the tires out

If you have a tire with an old rim, you can use it to make a flowerpot with a leg.

To do this, cut one sidewall along the tread. And they turn it inside out. This is not an easy task: considerable physical strength and perseverance are required. The rubber is elastic and it is impossible to turn it out the first time. If absolutely not, then outside make notches 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 fringe on an inverted tire.

Why do they turn it inside out? Inner surface smoother, and the shape may turn out to be more interesting, especially if the edge is made not linear, but jagged. The result is a gracefully bent decoration.

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

In a similar way, you can turn out a tire without rim. The sequence of actions is the same. First, cut off one of the sidewalls - straight or zigzag. To ensure that the “petals” are even, it is advisable to mark them. It is convenient to do this with chalk. The mark is then cut with a jigsaw or knife (if the cord is synthetic).

They turn it like this: they step on inner part tires, grab the edge with your hands and pull up and towards you. It is important to achieve the first result: when at least some part is bent. If the tire looks like the photo below, it's already a success. It is developed by successively turning the edge inside out and standing on the already turned part so that it does not turn back.

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

Even by itself, such a tire turned inside out looks good. If you paint it, it becomes even better. If desired, they can be combined - different colors, sizes, installed differently: on the bus or on the legs.

A tall flower bed always looks beautiful. Especially with hanging plants. It can also be made from tires, and there are several possibilities. The photo below shows two ways to secure cut tires to different levels. The first is to use stumps for this, to which flowerpots are attached with nails or screws. The second is to use reinforcement - three or four rods on which to put rubber. By putting on the right level tier, it needs to be secured; on metal this can only be done with the help of clamps.

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

Tire planter - parrot, rooster and dolphin

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

Below are posted step by step photos, which depict 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; hemp rope is used for finishing. From available materials you will need glue and a glue gun, as well as varnish and a brush for applying it. To connect the circles to the tire you will also need self-tapping screws - 8-10 pieces on each side.

Next, take a glue gun and heat up the glue and apply it to the sidewall. If you don’t have such a luxury on your household, take glue that comes in a larger tube, like “ liquid nails" It's easier for them to work with mounting gun. Apply a stripe to the side and glue the hemp rope. So - all the way to the top.

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

Finishing the work - applying varnish. We do it slowly, soaking it well. This is what should happen as a result. If you made a table, you can put glass on top - a rope, even coated with varnish, is not the best best coverage for the table, although beautiful...

Variety can be achieved through the cover. It can be sewn from the dense material you like.

Cute ottoman...

You can knit it - large knitting looks interesting.

Large knitted cover - looks interesting

If you don’t want to sew or knit, you can use old knitted items cut into strips. They are cut into long strips 3-5 cm thick, rolled into balls and then wrapped around an ottoman. It turns out interesting, especially if several colors are combined.

If you need a taller ottoman, screw the two tires together with self-tapping screws and continue working with them in this form.

Another option, see the video

Nowadays it is becoming fashionable to give a second life to used things or objects. People who have country houses and dachas.

Car tires are becoming increasingly popular. Initially, they began to be used to decorate the garden in the form of flower beds. But it turns out that you can make very comfortable and functional furniture from car tires with your own hands.

Decide what your table will be like and get to work.

• First of all, thoroughly wash the tires and remove everything that interferes.
• We fasten the tires together using a drill and self-tapping screws. Try to make it as strong as possible, because the service life of the table will depend on this.

Depending on the design of the table, you can paint it with paint, or wrap it with natural cord or rope. It is best to use paint from a can; it will lie more evenly.

If you use a tourniquet or rope, then using glue gun glue it to the tire, gradually braiding it around the circumference.

Make a tabletop from a sheet of plywood or plexiglass. If your tabletop is made of plywood, then you need to cut a circle with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the tire.

And if it’s made of glass, then a larger diameter than the tire itself will look better. Carefully attach the tabletop to the tire base using glue. Decorate the tabletop to your liking.

Attach the bottom of the table by cutting a circle out of plywood and attaching it to the tires with self-tapping screws. If desired, you can make wheels or legs.

And now your exclusive coffee table is ready!

To complete the table, you can make cute soft ottomans from car tires.

Tire ottomans for a group of friends

Such ottomans will always come in handy at the dacha. When inviting your friends to a barbecue, you can be sure that they will be accommodated comfortably.

For making soft ottomans You will need used tires, thick foam, sheets of plywood and the fabric you chose for the trim. Work progress:

We wash and thoroughly treat tires.

We fasten the tires together for higher ottomans using a drill and fasteners.

We cut out the bottom and seat for the ottoman from a sheet of plywood. We also cut out a circle from foam rubber equal to the diameter of the tire. We attach the plywood using self-tapping screws, and the foam rubber to the plywood using glue.

We cover the ottoman with fabric using a furniture stapler or a glue gun. We decorate according to your taste.

As we can see, with a little skill and creative imagination, you can quickly produce exclusive seats for a fun company.

DIY sofa made from tires

For a complete furniture set, you can also make your own sofa from tires. It is a little more difficult to make than the table and ottomans, but still quite doable.

• Foam rubber of 2 types
• Stapler for furniture
• Thick sheet of plywood
• Fabric for covering and upholstering a sofa
• Wooden blocks for the back of the sofa
• Nuts, bolts

As you can see, the materials are quite accessible to make a comfortable sofa with your own hands.

Let's get to work:

• Cut from plywood sheet the circle is 3 cm smaller than the diameter of the tire.
• Using a drill and self-tapping screws, we attach the plywood to the tire.
• From thicker foam rubber we cut out circles with a diameter larger than the plywood circle. Using a glue gun, glue the foam rubber to the plywood.

Making the base of our sofa. We attach thin foam rubber to the tire using a stapler. If your sofa has legs, then along the perimeter of the base we make markings where they will be located.

Take the fabric to cover the base and pull it tightly using furniture staples. Next, if necessary, cut out holes and secure the sofa legs with bolts.

We make the back of the sofa from wooden blocks. Using fastening material, we attach it to the side of the structure.

The final episode creative work To make a sofa from tires, you will need to design a soft back of the sofa. We take foam rubber, fold it in two layers and pack it in a cover made of the same fabric as the seat of our sofa. We attach soft case to the back of the sofa using glue.

To complete the design, you can cover the sofa with the same fabric that was used to decorate the ottomans. And then the set will look like a single whole.

If you did everything with high quality when making furniture from tires, putting your soul into it, then such furniture will serve you for many years.

Wash your tires thoroughly by special means and dry them thoroughly.

Best used for painting acrylic paints or spray paints. They are easier to work with and the result is more accurate.
