Tire Yard Ideas. DIY garden crafts made from tires: photo ideas and instructions

In our article we will talk about DIY garden tire crafts. 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 made from tires- flowerpots, swans, hanging pots for hanging flowers and master classes on making them.

Part I. Useful DIY crafts from tires

Non-slip tracks

Number one in our hit parade is tire tracks. First of all, you no longer have to deal with grass growing on your walkways. Secondly, Reliable protectors will prevent you from slipping. Thirdly, with such paths you will not bring dirt into the house.

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

Reliable steps

Anyone who has ever fallen from a ladder will appreciate the reliability of the coating on these steps.

Textured border

Tires most often have quite beautiful drawing. It can be used to decorate the lower part of a small utility room. At the same time, you will protect the walls from the inevitable dust and dirt.

Before making such a craft 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 tires are convenient to use as garden “ottomans” - however, they are quite hard. These DIY tire crafts are easy to make, the only drawback 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 bike rack out of tires for the whole family. And most importantly, when a new cyclist arrives, it will be very easy to expand.

Part II. DIY decorative crafts from tires

Ground flowerpots

A “daisy” is cut out from the top of the tire, then the tire is turned inside out. All that remains is 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 labor-intensive operation is turning the tire out. There is a little trick: when you turn the tire about halfway out, 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 made from tires - will be unlike others.

Tire swans

Swans are a classic craft made from tires. The technology is about the same. The photo shows instructions for this DIY garden tire craft.

1. Draw a cutting diagram on the tire.

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

3. Turn the tire out.

4. Make a beak and paint it red.

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

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

7. Color the swan and decorate the eyes to cover the screws.

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

Exotic birds made from tires

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 the country house or garden plot, various flowerpots and flower beds, 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 them in bright colors and stack them in a pile - 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 You can lay broken bricks or other construction debris, sprinkle a little earth on top and compact them. 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 flowerbed 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. It is more or less easy to cut off the side surface of the tread. People with strong arms and good knives do this 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 off 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’s unlikely that anyone would want to damage such a tool on an old tire. That’s why they most often work with an angle grinder. To avoid any 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 possible, notches are made on the outside side 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? The inner surface is smoother, and the shape can be more interesting, especially if the edge is made not linear, but jagged. The result will be 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 a tire or on 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. Having set the tier at the desired level, 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. Cutting and sanding the part 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 we take glue gun and after heating the glue, apply it to the sidewall. If you don’t have such a luxury on your household, take the glue that’s in the tube bigger size, 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 the 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

How can you further improve the area adjacent to your home? Purchase of decorative landscape elements not everyone can afford it.

However, don't worry: it will be possible to give the territory an unusual appearance and minimal costs . One of the ways to improve the area yourself is garden figures from car tires. Used tires are available free of charge at most services. The only resource needed in large quantities, there will be time.

At first glance, it seems that it will not be possible to achieve an interesting result, but the examples below can overcome a pessimistic attitude.

Original ideas for creating crafts from tires

Tires serve suitable material to implement the most interesting ideas. Thanks to the fact that you don’t feel sorry for them, you can realize your ideas an unlimited number of attempts, after which you will definitely end up with funny country crafts from car tires. What non-trivial designs can be made?

Idea one: unusual flower beds made from tires

As a rule, dacha owners are concerned only with the functional side of these structures, so floral flower bed from old tire is not formalized in any way. This solution looks dull and uninteresting. With a little effort, these products can be significantly transformed: you can make any image or object from old tires with your own hands.

To create an interesting combination you will need paint, a large knife, wire and a little imagination. Two flower beds can be placed opposite each other, depicting tea pairs. To implement the idea you will need 4 tires. To make the flower beds shaped like cups, rubber of a smaller radius will be used in the lower tiers, and larger tires in the upper tiers.

Additional elements of the composition can be made from the outer sidewalls of large tires. These pieces are enough to create a saucer-like rim at the base of the tire smaller diameter and handles for cups. It is advisable to fasten all parts of the structure with wire.

It is better to paint the resulting cups and saucers in bright colors. If there is an interesting service in the house, great solution there will be an enlarged copy of it on the site. The end result is an attractive bed of tires.

In addition to this composition, you can organize other unusual solutions: hanging tires with a plywood base nailed to a tree or folding them into interesting geometric shapes.

Idea two: tire figures on the site

Although these elements do not carry a functional load, they will add warmth to the dacha. Hosts, guests and, most importantly, children will definitely smile when they see garden figurines from tires.

Inspiration for their creation can be drawn from cartoons, fairy tales and legends. They represent an inexhaustible source of fantasy. Using a simple tool and available materials you can create characters such as a fairy-tale frog, a swan princess or a steadfast tin soldier.

By cutting the tires in half and joining them in the shape of waves, you can get the Serpent Gorynych. However, it will take some work to get a better resemblance. From finely chopped parts of tires you can create the scales and head of this monster.

For greater resemblance to the original, it is better to attach additional elements from scrap materials.

Idea three: country furniture

You can’t ignore the option of making comfortable furnishings from tires. Inside the house, tables, armchairs and chairs will look interesting, the basis of which is rubber, upholstered on the outside with materials of different textures and colors.

The simplest items, such as ottoman, you can make it from old tires with your own hands, spending less than an hour on the process. The upholstery elements will be attached to each other inside the tire. You can also use plywood sheets screwed to the sidewall of the tire using a screwdriver.

The only one important parameter is the state cord. If it sticks out, it is better to use another tire, since sitting on such a pouf will be uncomfortable.

Idea four: tire swings

Nothing can delight children as much as swing. The place in which they are installed inevitably becomes the center of attraction for the attention of all household members. By using tires to build a swing, you can significantly save on costs and provide better safety for small family members.

If there is a large tree on the site, then making this structure will not be difficult. a lot of work. For stability, the branch must be parallel to the ground and be ready to bear the load. The tools you will need are a jigsaw and a knife. In addition to the tire, you will need to find a strong rope or chain. If the latter is used, then you will additionally need carabiners to secure the tire.

In the case of using a rope, the procedure will be as follows:

1. A loop is tied on the rope, after which it is thrown over the branch;
2. The free end is inserted into the loop and tightened. You will definitely need to check the reliability of the node;
3. The lower end of the rope is threaded through a tire with the tread facing up;
4. After adjusting the comfortable height, tightening the knot on the tire and checking the strength of the connections, you can use the swing.

If children are still very young, it is recommended that their use of the structure be supervised by adults.

There are also more non-trivial designs for swings made from tires in the country. From tire rubber you can cut out swings of the most unusual shapes, reminiscent of animals or fairy-tale characters.

Idea five: country paths made of tires

One of the most popular methods of “reincarnation” of tires that have fallen into disrepair is the creation of paths in the countryside. This method of use allows you to maintain cleanliness in your country house even under the most unfavorable weather conditions.

Compared to concreting, this option is not associated with huge costs. Another advantage of a path made from old tires is that it does not sink into the ground like gravel and will last a long time.

For fast work, it is better to choose rubber with the largest possible diameter. Such blanks will significantly reduce the time spent on making tracks.

In addition to tires you will need wide boards, as well as screws or nails. The tool you will need to prepare is a large sharp knife, a screwdriver or a hammer.

The technology itself is not complicated and consists of the following stages:

1. Preparing rubber. Use a knife to remove the tire sidewalls. The remaining part is cut across the tread. The result should be a rubber strip. In this way you need to prepare required amount material;
2. Fastening rubber to wood. Using a hammer and nails, or a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, the existing strips are attached on top wooden base future path.
3. Soil preparation. If there has been no precipitation for a long time, you will need to fill the ground under the places where the boards are laid with water. The condition of the soil should ensure that the boards do not sink into the ground;
4. Laying elements. The placement of track parts must be approached responsibly. In order for the structure to last for a long time, you will need to carefully compact each part of it.

To give garden paths For a more fun-looking tire, the rubber can be pre-painted. It is important that the coating is not slippery in winter or during rainfall. Otherwise there is a risk of injury.

A great idea would be to make do-it-yourself linings from old tires. country stairs. This will give a more aesthetically pleasing appearance old steps and prevent the risk of slipping.

The most popular ways to give a second life to old tires

There are truly a huge number of ideas for creative use of tires. However, there are a number of crafts and structures that are most often found at the dachas of compatriots. What is the most popular choice?

Pool made from an old tire

An interesting option is pool from an old tire. For such a structure you will need to look for a tire big size, used on a large tractor or special equipment.

Preparing a pool is not difficult. The work will consist of attaching a material to the tire that forms a sealed bottom, resting on a dense surface.

To work you will need following materials and tools:

• Waterproof material;
• Glue for rubber;
• Degreaser;
• Putty-sealant;
• Scissors.

Since the bottom of the pool will consist of thin material, you should select an installation location in advance that will not contain sharp stones, branches or other objects that could damage the bottom or cause injury. On the other hand, this area should not be soft. Otherwise, the glued material will probably come off along the seam.

At the first stage, you will need to prepare the surfaces of the elements to be glued at the place of their future contact. To do this, you will need to clean them of fat using any suitable means.

Next, the cleaned surfaces are lubricated glue and connect. At the same time, you should not feel sorry for it, since excess can be removed, and if there is a deficiency, the pool may leak. When the glue sets, you will need to turn the wheel over so that the seam is under pressure.

A day later, the place of contact from the inside of the pool is treated with adhesive sealant. After an additional 24 hours, you can fill it with water and enjoy bathing in hot weather.

DIY tire swan

This bird is one of the most common country figures. With sufficient perseverance, you can achieve interesting results. For the job, one car tire, thick wire, two small clamps supporting the swan's neck, as well as white and red paint will be enough.

The tool you will need is a jigsaw with the ability to cut metal threads, as well as a marker. To protect your eyes and body from sawdust generated when cutting cord, it is better to use thick clothing and work glasses.

The work will consist of the following parts:

1. Preparation tires for cutting. Using a marker, two semicircles are drawn in the center on one of the sidewalls of the tire, the top of which will serve as a blank for the tail and head;
2. cutting. It is carried out along the marked line when preparing the head and neck. The tail is cut in the shape of a triangle at the top of the sidewall, the sides of which go towards the tread. On the sides, between the tread and the drawn lines, three cuts are made for the wings.
3. Formation. In places where the side cuts are made, parts of the tires turn outward, forming wings. The tail arches in the same way. The wire is attached with two clamps to a long rubber strip at the base and at the top.
4. Painting. The main part of the figure is covered in white, and the beak will be red.

The result should be a swan that can be used as a flower bed. In addition to this option, there are other ways to make this figurine.
