New ideas from wheels. Crafts for giving from tires and car tires: ideas and master classes (88 photos)

Tire figures adorn many suburban areas. The use of these parts of automobile wheels allows you to make the design of the garden original. The material is cheap and practical. You can easily make garden figures from tires with your own hands.

Old tires can be used to make original figures that will be an excellent decoration for a summer cottage.

How to make soft ottomans from tires and create a composition "Donkey with a cart"

In order to have something to sit on in your free time, you can use car tires instead of wood. To do this, you need very little - fabric in the form of a ribbon or wide belts. The tire is tightly wrapped with these elements, and their ends are intertwined with each other. It takes no more than 60 minutes to create and design a soft pouffe for a summer cottage. Tires of any diameter are suitable for such a furniture set, but we must try to select such that their reinforcing fibers do not stick out of the main body, otherwise you can cut yourself (scratch). The resulting pouffes will look something like the one in Fig. one.

Figure 1. Stages of making a puff from tires.

Many have wooden figures of horses and other animals on the site. These statues are not difficult to make, but the material for them requires coloring from moisture or rain. They are made from logs, timber, and most often all summer residents have such things. You can, using car tires, make a figure of a donkey (or a horse - as you like).

To make such a statue, you need to use only 2 wheels, which are usually available to all summer residents in a barn or garage.

To work, you will need a sharp knife, a small coil of knitting wire, a metal or wooden ring, 2 poles, 2 bicycle wheels, legs from an old chair. You can create a composition within a few hours.

Work begins by cutting the tire in half. Then one half is rotated 180° and inserted into the second. Fasten with wire. The hanging end is treated with a knife and given the shape of an animal's head. From the second tire, the ears and mane of the donkey are cut out and fixed on the main body. Then attach the legs from the chair and put the figure on them. A ring is placed on the donkey's neck and connected to the poles. A wagon is made from bicycle wheels and boards and attached to the free ends of the poles. You can install a flower bed on the resulting trolley, and the whole composition will be easy to rearrange from time to time to different places on the site, thus changing the design of the garden. An approximate view of a donkey with a cart is shown in fig. 2.

How to make a parrot out of tires

Figure 2. To make a donkey, you only need two old tires.

There is nothing difficult in creating the figure of an exotic bird. First you need to draw on whatman paper what should happen. Then you should prepare the right tool for work. The technology for making a parrot from a car tire is as follows:

1. A cut of the tire is made on both sides, while a thin strip must be left on its inner circumference. You should get a whole small radius, and the large one will be divided into 2 parts.
2. To get the desired shape for decorative work, you need to make cuts along a small radius.
3. Along the cut edges, a parrot's head and tail are made, for which it is necessary to dissolve the tire into strips. They are pointed at the ends. From rubber, you need to cut out a shape similar to the head of a parrot.
4. In the right places, all these parts are painted in the color corresponding to the design intent.
5. The figure is hung in the right place.

The composition can be done in 2-3 hours, even if you have no experience with such things.

The parrot is shown in fig. 3.

How to make a frog princess for a summer cottage

Figure 3. Scheme for cutting a tire for a parrot figure.

If a person has several old tires, then you can try to make a fabulous composition and place it on the territory of a summer cottage. It will be the Frog Princess resting on the edge of the lawn. Of the purchased materials, only paint is needed. All work will last 3-4 hours.

Work begins with laying two tires on the ground. They must be installed close to each other. Another tire is installed on top of them and an impromptu pedestal is obtained. The inner parts of the tires must be filled with earth. After that, you can start the design of the composition. This is done in the following way:

1. Using 2 short branches, make the front legs of the frog.
2. In the same way, but from two long branches, hind legs are made.
3. The bars are processed with a hacksaw to decorate the resulting paws.
4. Using a knife, a frog's crown and eyes are made from a plastic bottle, and everything else is drawn with paint.

How to make a flower bed from an old tire

To create a reliable shelter for flowers, it is necessary to use not only the rubber of the tires themselves, but also the metal rim of the wheel, from which you can build a durable stand for a flower bed. To do this, you need to take and cut out the semblance of petals along the small diameter of the tire with a knife, which are then bent up. The metal rim is slightly deepened into the ground and the resulting rubber case is installed on it. Soil is poured inside and flowers are installed. The flower bed can be painted in different colors.

Figures from old tires

To get a fabulous plot and install it in a summer cottage, you can use such popular characters as bears.

They are made this way. First, a large diameter tire is installed on the rib. Then a smaller tire is fixed on it. This is the body and head of the future bear. A plastic basin of the appropriate size must be inserted into the inner part of the large wheel. To get the muzzle of the beast, it is painted on plywood with paints and attached to the inside of a small tire. Ears are made of plastic or wood, and paws can be attached. To do this, strengthen the plastic bottle and pole. Flowers are planted around the figure.

If there is a natural reservoir or pool in the summer cottage, then you can decorate it with figures of swans, which are made from old tires. The technology for their creation resembles what was described above for a parrot. The difference is that instead of the head of an exotic bird and a flowing tail, you need to make a long neck and fix it in the right position with wire. The swan's beak is painted red. Inside this figure, you can put a flower pot with plants and fix it in a certain place in the reservoir.

From tires painted in different shades of green and flexible plastic hoses, you can create a caterpillar. To do this, take a dozen old wheels and, applying them in a horizontal plane to each other, form a body. Then plastic hoses are attached from the sides, bent in the proper order. The head is made from a plastic container.

If a person does not want to make the donkey described above, then you can make a simple horse. To do this, the old tire is buried with an edge into the ground. A horse's head cut out of plywood is put on the part remaining outside, and the mane is made from a bundle of straw. You can install such a figure anywhere in the summer cottage, and it takes 40-60 minutes to create it.

Materials and tools for creating different compositions

1. Old car tires.
2. Bicycle wheels.
3. Ribbons made of fabric or wide belts.
4. Wooden or metal ring.
5. Sixes and board.
6. Bars.
7. Legs from an old chair.
8. Paints of different colors.
9. Wire.
10. Hacksaw.
11. Construction knife.
12. Paint brush.
13. Whatman and pencil.

Any person who has the skills to use the simplest tool and gives free rein to his imagination and fantasy can decorate his summer cottage with various figures from old tires.

The use of car tires in the country is just as justified as the use of plastic bottles. This is a cheap and quite practical material for creating a wide variety of items and things that may be needed for work, recreation, and even landscaping a summer house.

Until recently, we talked about crafts in the country from improvised means, created TOPs of the most interesting things and determined rating and exclusive ideas for using old and used things to create something new. We used wood, metal, plastic and glass bottles, but today it's time to pay attention to an equally interesting material - car tires. Getting tires for use in the country is very simple, and working with them is not difficult at all. Therefore, we suggest taking a little time and exploring new ideas. Also, we immediately ask you to actively participate in the discussion of the article, because the opinion of each reader is very important to us!

Soft ottomans

For comfortable seats in the country during the holidays, you can use car tires. To do this, they are wrapped in ribbons of fabric or belts that are simply intertwined. There is nothing complicated in such a technique, and by a practical method we have found that it takes literally an hour to design a soft ottoman from a tire.

Tires of almost any diameter and size can be used for the production of “country furniture”, but try to choose not the most dilapidated ones so that the reinforcing fibers from the base material do not cause you trouble in the form of scratches and cuts.

Donkey with a cart made of tires

Remember, not so long ago we studied in detail the original works of some summer residents - in the country? They were made of timber, logs, branches and other materials that you can not buy, but simply find in the country. Today we propose to consider the horse model in a new light. It will no longer be a horse, but a donkey from a car tire.

The production of such a creature takes only two tires, which simply take up space in the garage or shed. Using a sharp knife, a little knitting wire and imagination, you can build a nice decoration for the lawn in the country within a few hours. In addition, it is quite possible to create not only a small donkey, but also a wagon, and, for example, install flower pots in it, thereby creating a mobile flower bed.

Tire parrots

Starting a conversation about exotic birds, we immediately present you with an image of such a masterpiece.

In appearance, a real art, to which a professional had a hand. But if you look closely, then there are no difficulties in the production of such birds. If you systematize the work, make a simple drawing and pick up a quality tool, you just have to follow our instructions:

• Make a cut of the tire on both sides, leaving only a small strip of the inner circumference. That is, you get a solid small radius of the product, and divide the large one in half;
• Next, cut along a small radius, on both sides, due to which you get the desired shape with which you can carry out decorative work;
• Along the edges of the cut, you should make the head of a parrot and its tail. We dissolve the source material into several strips and sharpen them at the end, and also cut out from rubber a semblance of a parrot's head, only in shape;
• The rest is done by bright colors, with the help of which a piece of black rubber acquires the desired shade and a clear image of a beautiful bird.

The frog princess from the wheels in the country

Do you have some old tires? Then on the territory of the dacha you can create a very pleasant and cheerful picture - a frog sitting on the edge of the lawn.

The whole process takes several hours, in terms of costs - you get only paint for decoration.

First, two tires are laid on the ground, next to each other, close. A third is laid on top of them, so we get something resembling a pedestal.

We fill the tires with earth from the inside and proceed to the design:

• Two shorter and thicker branches and two long but thinner ones form the legs of a frog;
• Specially shaped wooden bars, which can be cut with an ordinary hacksaw, complement the paws;
• From plastic bottles we cut out eyes and a crown for our cute “princess”, the rest is just finished with paint.

Flowerbeds from tires

Some time ago, when we talked about interesting ideas for giving, we stopped at creating flower beds from tires. Today we have only a reminder, as well as a call to use not only the rubber part, but also the metal rims from the wheels, on the basis of which you can build reliable and durable stands for flower beds.

Bird figures

Decoration for gardens and lawns can also be made from old tires. Today we have a rather cute white goose, the production of which only one car tire was spent on.

As you can see, it is laid on its side and cut off, the main part of it forms a decorative cut, and the cut part forms the neck and head of the bird.

It is very difficult to make a head out of rubber alone, and therefore wood is used for stability and shape.

After the formation of the image, a new garden figure is painted.

It is also noteworthy that as a result we get not just a garden figure, but also an excellent flower bed for planting ornamental plants.

Swimming pool from an old tire

Of course, in order to make even the smallest pool, you will need to take a serious size tire, for example, from a tractor or a large loader, and so on.

It is difficult to work with dense material, but cutting will not be necessary, because we have a ready-made form that can be filled with water. It remains only to make a reliable bottom so that when filling such a pool, the water does not immediately leave.

Initially, you should choose a place for installation, cover it with a dense material that will create a base. It can be screenings or clay, but it can also be ordinary lawn land with grass, the main thing is that it be well-established.

Now we spread a piece of an awning or a special film at the installation site, which is used to construct artificial reservoirs in summer cottages. Along the perimeter of our wheel, we degrease the awning and generously lubricate it with special glue. It can be rubber glue or even universal Velcro.

A wheel is laid on the awning, presses the awning with its weight, and remains in this position for a day. After that, the glued seam should be additionally treated with sealant from the inside and outside. After another day, you can pour water inside and use a completely sealed tire from special equipment in the form of a country pool.

Path in the country

If there is a slight slope on the territory of the cottage, a descent to the water or a passage through a ravine, it is tires that can be used to ensure maximum comfort on the way of movement. With their help, strong and durable steps are created, on which it is convenient and safe to walk.

Original garden figures

We have already studied some options, but now we are moving on to real fairy-tale characters that can appear in any country house.

First of all, we present bears made of car tires, which are organically formed and installed, decorated and endowed in a special way. As you can see, next to them are the pretty flowers made from plastic bottles, which we talked about recently.

Next in line is a caterpillar, which is really not simpler. This is a cute figure of vertically mounted tires that fit snugly together at slightly different heights. Painting and simple decoration help to complete the look.

At the very beginning of the article, we mentioned wooden horses and showed you a donkey from tires, but now we have come to a horse from an old tire, the construction of which and the complete design will take you no more than a couple of hours. Agree, this is not so much to create a favorite country toy for children or grandchildren. The figure is formed very simply - a tire is installed in a small hole, which is concreted. Further, it is shaped and tinted, complemented by a head and mane, and immediately after that it becomes a pretty object in the exterior of the dacha.

Tire furniture

Oddly enough, but tires can play the role of not only original decorations for the landscape of a summer cottage, but also become really practical furniture. We already considered one of these examples at the beginning of the article, but here we came across some more very successful ideas.

Presented to your attention is a good summer cottage set, for the production of which tires and a metal frame are used. But as you may have noticed, this is not simple, but wicker furniture, and therefore interest in it has been increased.

A similar set is a little lower, but this is already upholstered furniture for a summer residence. Naturally, not the most practical option and far from the ultimate dream, but very nice!

Use of tires for practical purposes

In conclusion, we present to you the idea of ​​​​a homemade septic tank or a special pit for a country toilet from old tires. We will not talk in detail about the construction of a toilet or a cesspool, since the site already has thematic material, but we will simply present you with another useful direction in which tires from a car can be used.

What can be done from car tires (video)

Human imagination has no limits, and the desire to achieve maximum practicality in a summer cottage is often the main goal. This is what we consider the reason for the development of new opportunities and the implementation of even those ideas that may initially seem not very good. Today we presented you with a considerable list of decor items, furniture and even sewer elements from old tires, and therefore we are waiting for your reaction to the material below, in the comments.

Reviews and comments

Lydia 03/20/2014

Yes, of course ... But you cannot dispose of all car tires and tubes in this way. Tires must be recycled. First for heating oil, and then for gasoline or solarium and cord. We can help with additional purification of heating oil for gasoline.

Sasha 04.10.2014

By the way, I saw a bunch of fakes from tires at other dachas, but I myself never thought to do this, because I was too lazy, and I didn’t want to somehow, but now I’ll make myself a couple of interesting fakes in order to decorate my country house a little)

Igor 07.12.2014

Flight of fancy, of course, pleased. And yet, I have a cool attitude towards this use of tires - this kind of aesthetics is still doubtful. It is interesting only in cases of a completely unexpected and original kind of application.

Dmitry Belokonny 21.09.2015

Very original, I learned a lot for myself, I liked the idea with ottomans, not only cute, but also functional, better than dragging chairs from home, or putting up an old bench. And the steps made of tires are also interesting, there is just a descent to the garage, and you have to go around it outside the yard (it’s very sharp), now I’m thinking of making the descent with tires to save time and not make a huge detour!

Alla 03.10.2015

In these photos, the tire shapes look interesting. I saw several similar figures at the neighbors, and I didn’t really like them: they look somehow clumsy. But the idea of ​​steps from tires is interesting and functional. We can do this down to the river. True, I do not know where to get so many tires.

Elena 10/14/2015

And in our city, such decorations are implemented on playgrounds in kindergartens! Cartoon characters: Krosh, Nyusha, Cheburashka, Masha and the Bear! And the kids really like it, and my Ryo as well.
During my childhood in kindergartens, old tires were used only under flower beds or buried sideways halfway into the ground, like, such a sports equipment. (((Is there really not enough imagination for more? After all, no supernatural materials are required for such crafts?
Haven't seen anything like this in our gardens yet. I think people don't want to install such structures, because there is barely enough land for planting on 5-6 acres. Alexander 11/27/2016

I have always loved doing handicrafts. The garage, I have, is fully equipped for one purpose only - to do crafts. Some time ago, I began to notice how in my city I begin to put such crafts on flower beds, in kindergartens and other cultural places. I liked this idea and I began to make all kinds of crafts from tires, etc. I think that now I will make black swans from tires. When everything is ready, I will unsubscribe what happened.

Karrina 16.01.2017

And tell me, please, what is the best paint to use for such “folk art”?) So that it doesn’t flow from the rain and doesn’t have a sharp smell, there are a lot of options to choose from now, I would like it not to peel off in a month or two, I don’t understand anything about it, and there are tires left from the old father’s car, the children want to experiment) I want them not to be poisoned in respirators and there were no consequences ...

Vova 14.02.2017

Class! We are waiting for the continuation of the digest of products from tires!

Masha 03/22/2017

We made four such swans of their tires and placed them in the garden. It turned out very nice, and the process itself is simple. Only with the wings we didn’t bother so much, it turned out rougher. And in the photo, the parrots simply conquered, but this is a very delicate work both in terms of cutting out rubber and in terms of painting. My husband and I team of Crazy Hands is not yet capable of this)

Masha 15.08.2017

I have never seen crafts that look really beautiful in a summer cottage, as for me it’s better to plant more flowers or let there be a smooth lawn than to litter the site.

Today, people are trying to decorate their yards, summer cottages and gardens from whatever they can. Designers received a lot of ideas that can be safely translated into reality. The use of improvised materials such as bus tires has led to the fact that real hand-made masterpieces are located in the gardens and gardens of the plots.

It is worth noting that crafts for the garden and garden can embellish any area. It can even be a sandbox in the yard, a flower bed, a swing or beds.

For example, to make a flower bed from a car tire, you don’t need to guess too much. A bus tire is simply taken, covered with earth. But it won't be a masterpiece. Now, if you take paints, decorate the tire from the outside, and even better - put three wheels - one on one - then you get a real masterpiece.

If you want to do something unusual, then you can take tires of various diameters. With the largest one, we begin to lay out the rubber from the bottom.

You can even fix an improvised flower bed on a tree. To cover the tire on one side, you can use any material that can withstand the weight of the earth.

Fantasists even came up with two cups that are made of tires and stand on the site. The main bowl is cut out, and the handles can be metal tape.

Another idea is the figures of animals from used car tires. They will give mood to your guests in the garden or in the garden.

The most popular figurine in garden crafts is the swan. To make a bird, you need a tire that does not have a metal cord.

This will make it easier to cut the rubber. We make the markup of our future crafts. We cut the tire with a very sharp knife or hacksaw. To strengthen the swan's neck, use metal rods. At the end we color the bird.

From old car tires you can make a turtle, a zebra and even a horse. To make a beast, you need to dig a bar into the ground along with a tire. In order for the animal to look like itself, it is necessary to give certain colors with paint.

Furniture made from car tires will look great at their summer cottage. You can even make comfortable options using various soft linings. Everything that can be useful in this craft is used. If you like to relax in the garden in the evenings, then a few personal chairs that can be placed close to each other are best suited.

There can be no difficulty in making crafts. We fantasize, and it will take you no more than an hour to do everything. It is unnecessary to take thick and rough tires, the reinforcing fiber of which can cause wounds.

Each of us remembers the swing from car tires in the garden from childhood. Pastime then could not do without a swing. And now you can do it with your own hands from old tires. It is worth noting that a swing made of tires will be safest for a child than a swing made of wood or metal. So what do you need to make a tire swing? First, we find a branch that will be strong and will be tilted towards the ground. Secondly, we collect such tools: a knife, a hacksaw, a rope or chains and the tires themselves.

At the end of the rope we make a loop. You need to make sure that the knot is strong. We put the tire vertically. The rope is passed through the wheel, firmly tied above the ground at a height of a meter.

DIY flowerbeds in the garden

The real fun for kids is the tracks and the different paths that can be made out of tires of different sizes. You can make a regular track on the site out of tires. To do this, you need large tires - for example, from a truck. It is only necessary to cut off the part with the tread, and then spread the strips on the site, additionally fixing them to the ground.

DIY crafts - flower beds

In skillful creative hands, ordinary improvised items can turn into a good designer tool with which you can make decorative ornaments for your backyard. Old car tires can be an original idea for crafts.

In this case, the implementation of the idea is simple. Some tools will be required. Namely, a well-sharpened knife, some paint, and fasteners. The main thing is to be patient!

It is easy to make pieces of furniture, decorative animals for a garden, a personal fence, a swing, and many other things from automobile rubber. It is enough to show a little imagination and you can get good crafts from tires for home and garden.

Automotive rubber products tolerate atmospheric precipitation well. Usually they are located right on the street. Such things will stand on the site for more than one year and will be a pleasant decoration for him.

In order for the manufacturing process to go as it should, you need to know how to properly make crafts with your own hands. Everything starts with a sketch. We take a piece of paper and a pencil. We draw on it the future contours of the product, and determine the dimensions. Next, with the help of chalk, we transfer everything to the tire.

Occasionally it is necessary to repaint them, because, being in the sun, the paint will fade and crack. It is worth knowing that car tires can get very hot in the sun.

Therefore, the resulting pieces of furniture are best left in the shade. They do not require special care, and as a disinfection, they can be washed with liquid soap.

Creative crafts from rubber tires

All owners of summer cottages want to embellish their garden and vegetable garden. They strive to make it not like other gardens, monitor its purity and beauty. A rubber tire is a practical and useful household item. A person can turn it into a unique decorative thing.

The creation process consists of several stages:

• Cutting out the outlined contours.
• Bending, if necessary, the cut parts.

You can design anything. From various animals to cartoon characters. If necessary, the desired detail is made of plywood. This process can take only a few tires. Having given it a bright color, the craft will be liked by everyone around.

There may be different options and instructions for making DIY crafts. The internet is full of ideas these days. With the help of old tires, you can decorate a flower bed. Tires can serve as a fence for her - this is the most common decoration.

Often tires are used to construct wells in which compost fertilizers are prepared. Tires make large flower pots and flowerpots.

With the help of car tires, a lot of useful things are done, for example:

• Baby swing;
• Sandbox;
• Garden paths;
• garden steps;
• Armchairs and ottomans;
• Fences for a personal plot;
• Stair cover;
• decorative ponds;
• Animals;
• Washbasins and trash cans;
• Bicycle parking, etc.

For a visual reference, it is worth looking at the photo of tire crafts.

Construction of furniture from tires

Consider the manufacture of a chair. To do this, we will prepare the necessary tools and materials.

• 2 car tires;
• Thin plywood measuring 100x90cm;
• Two foam pieces, one thicker, the other thinner;
• Felt;
• Tool kit: stapler, screws, screwdriver.

First, we will fasten two tires, putting one on top of the other. They are connected with screws. We fasten the felt material to the bottom of the chair with a stapler. This will give it easy movement on the floor.

The prepared plywood must be bent and screwed to the side of the tire with screws. She will serve as a back. For a soft seat, cut out the foam rubber.

For the outer diameter of the tire, we make foam rubber in a thick layer, and put it into the inside of the seat. We cut out thinner layers, they are attached with a stapler to the outer surface. It turns out the seat of several layers of foam rubber.

To make the back soft, foam rubber is also attached to the plywood. The product will look neat if you put on a cover made of some material.

Animals and birds from tires

Swans are a favorite kind of crafts for many summer residents. They look spectacular on the site. Make them a little longer than an ottoman or chair.

Firstly, they draw a diagram for crafts from a tire. Secondly, you can not use a tire with a metal cord, it is better to take an ordinary more flexible rubber. The main thing is to accurately cut the tire, and turn it out.

The playground is often decorated with different animals or cartoon characters. Here, you may have to cut less out of the tires, since it is much easier to make, for example, a bear than a swan.

The Internet is full of videos on making different animals from tires. Experienced craftsmen can give a master class on tire crafts. Beginners should be patient and willing to design unique crafts.

Photo crafts from tires

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

Crafts from car tires

The most common version of tire crafts is flower beds. In order to make a simple flower bed, it is enough to use a small piece of plywood, tires and paint.

We cut out a circle from plywood, in diameter it should cover the bottom of the tire, fasten it with self-tapping screws and paint the resulting flower bed in any color. When the paint dries, we set the flower bed in the right place and cover it with earth, plant flowers.

Large flower bed

Necessary 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 incision site. The ends can be made smooth or pointed, cut out the contours of the petals with a knife.

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 with galvanized nails, and then assemble the flower bed together.

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

Tire coffee table and ottoman

Materials:

• Plywood
• Tire
• self-tapping screws
• rope rope
• Castors (for version with table)
• Thermal gun

It is necessary to cut out two circles from plywood, with a diameter covering the tire, and fix it on the wheel with self-tapping screws. We wrap the workpiece with a rope so that the layers fit snugly against each other, fixing it with a heat gun. For the top, we twist the rope in a spiral, fix it with a thermal gun.

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

All work must be done with gloves and with extreme care to protect hands from cuts. There are a lot of options for crafts for a vegetable garden from tires, you can make small fences, large flower beds and seedlings from them, they also 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. Of these, you can make two types of swings, sandboxes and decorations for the site.

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 get a sandbox for the entire yard.

Swing #1

Necessary 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, fix them with self-tapping screws. On both sides we oblige the tire with chains (strong ropes and cables can be used). We fix the swing on a tree, if there is no suitable place, you can make the basis for a swing from a bar.

Swing #2

Necessary 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 width of the tire. From the board we make seats for the swing, the board should protrude 40 cm on both sides. We paint all the blanks in the desired color.

After drying, we insert the beam into the tire, from the side of the cuts and fix it on both sides with self-tapping screws. After that, we evenly expose the board for sitting and fasten it to the reinforcing bars with self-tapping screws. Swing handles can be made from old doorknobs, 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 out of anything. Tires can be easily used to create furniture and more. Various photos of tire crafts can be found on the Internet, with their help you can find inspiration and improve crafts, adapt them for yourself, or make the same.
