This is not only environmentally friendly, but also saves the family budget, and also allows you to show your creative abilities. One of the most accessible materials for making country crafts is old tires, which can be taken for free at any car service or tire fitting. Tires are used to make furniture, flower beds, warm beds and a variety of crafts that make the summer cottage unlike the neighboring ones and decorate it.

Do-it-yourself tire crafts in the country: everything from preparing a tire to choosing a location

Cutting a tire is a rather laborious process. It is not always possible to choose a knife of the required strength; not every summer resident has a jigsaw. Those who have preserved old sickles in their household, which are now rarely used for their intended purpose, can use their “antiques” to cut the tire.

Other Tire Figures

Crafts from tires can serve as elements of the decor of the site. Bright figures are often used as flower beds. And if you glue the bottom, also cut out of the tire, you can make an original water container from a cup or teapot. Rubber retains heat well, and this water is suitable for irrigating greenhouse plantings.

One of the simplest figures is the sun from tires and plastic bottles. It is done like this:

  1. We paint the tires with yellow or orange acrylic paint.

    To paint the tire, you can use a special paint for rubber, which is sold in spray cans.

  2. Pour the same paint into the bottles and shake well. After the paint has evenly covered the walls of the bottles from the inside, remove the corks and put them to dry.
  3. We put the tire, which will be the sun, on another tire-stand (we also pre-paint it) or dig it into the ground.
  4. We cut out a circle from plywood (10 mm) or thick metal (up to 5 mm) and attach it to the tire using self-tapping screws.

The human imagination is inexhaustible. Craftsmen from the people work real miracles with the fact that pragmatic consumers send to the scrap. Almost everything is used: broken pots, seashells, pebbles, old appliances and other utensils that are no longer used for their intended purpose, but acquire a second life when the hands of the master touch it. And, of course, the list of "raw materials" for practical decor is not complete without obsolete car tires.

Previously, only economy-class playgrounds were made of them, today they have come up with many more creative applications: photo crafts from car tiresaccompanying our article is a clear confirmation of this.

Movable wheels attached to the bottom will add mobility to the product.

Complement an unusual table with one more tire product – ottoman or armchair. Cut out a circle from chipboard or thick plywood to fill the cavity inside the tire, put a couple of layers of foam rubber on top - the pouffe should be comfortable. The upholstery for such an “armchair” can be knitted, sewn from any fabric or an old plaid into a spectacular Scottish cage.

Complicated tire products

Now let's move on to the consideration of more labor-intensive options for crafts from tires. In fact, they are only slightly more complicated than the previous ones. You will see for yourself when you get acquainted with the master classes.

We make a swan

The manufacture involves cutting, so it is better to take very worn rubber with a longitudinal pattern. The first stage of work is markup. Draw a swan's neck on the tire as shown in the photo. It should take up approximately half the length of the tire. Next, draw the outlines of the head (about 10 cm long) and the beak (slightly shorter). The tail will begin where the beak originates, and therefore will have a forked end. Make it the same width as the neck, and let it be about 30 cm long.

Now it's time to move on to cutting. Depending on the condition and thickness of the rubber, do the work with a shoe knife, grinder or electric jigsaw. Cutting on both sides of the tire is best done in parallel. Having finished cutting, we proceed to turning the workpiece.

The next step is to strengthen the neck and tail. To do this, along these parts, make two holes every 15 cm. In them you will thread metal brackets that will hold a hard rod. After that, the neck and tail need to be given a beautiful bend.

The final stage is painting. You can make yourself either a white or a black swan. Let the beak be red. That's all.

Glamorous flowerpot

Before, we looked at simple flowerpots made from tires for a garden plot. Now turn your attention to a more complex and attractive option. Draw a gigzag line on the tire and cut along it.

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

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

  2. At the bottom of the recess you need to lay insulating material. Its use will allow the sand not to mix with the ground, prevent the germination of weeds and the ingress of insects into the sand from the ground.
  3. The tire must be washed and covered with paints for outdoor use.
  4. Next, it remains to install the tire in the recess and fill it with sand.

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

Option 2

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

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

Rocking chair-balancer

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