You can make flower beds from car tires, country furniture, toys for the playground, funny figurines of animals and birds, useful household items and even a children's car.
Simple crafts require little time and a minimum of tools. Here is a list of what is enough for most ideas.
In addition to the above, worn tires are used for the construction of foundations and houses. Fences are built from them. We follow the content.
The most important: crafts from tires for the playground
For an old wheel, both sand and water are familiar environments Have no doubt: everything that is done for children is the most important! In the simplest version, you need to pour sand inside a large wheel - and you get a sandbox. A painted wheel, and even with a pattern, will decorate the site. We install an umbrella in the sand and get an option for little VIPs. For them, we put insulation on the inner rim of the tire for water pipes so as not to get scratched.
Small tires will also work. They can be fastened together with self-tapping screws. The protruding part of the screw must be screwed into a piece of wood so that no one gets hurt.
A mini pool made from a large wheel is a well-known thing. A small master class on making a swimming pool:
- The bead on one side of the tire is cut off. It is better to do the work with a jigsaw.
- They dig a pit with a depth of 20 cm and an area slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the wheel.
- Sand and crushed stone with a total thickness of at least 10 cm are placed in the pit.
- Poured cement mortar in a ratio of 1:3.
- The tire is placed on the thick solution and further filled with the solution so as to cover the inner rim of the wheel. A layer of mortar with a total thickness of 20 cm will not crack.
- After the solution hardens, the internal and external surfaces are painted. Blue paint works best. It is better to prime the pre-painted surface.
- After the paint has dried, the pool can be filled with water.
Your version of the swing may be different The swing is a sacred thing. No one will become Gagarin, but all family members will enjoy the swing. At the hardware store you will need to purchase a chain, hooks for hanging, carabiners for connecting the chain, screws, washers and nuts M6, M8 for forming the seat.
Screws must be of the optimal length, with a semi-countersunk head or a hemispherical head. It is better to use decorative cap nuts. Screws that are too long must be cut off.
If the above conditions are met, the product will be as safe as possible. In the photo below there are options in which only rope was required.
Personal swings, as well as for two or more children It's even easier to make a rocking chair on the ground. It is better not to cut the tire in half, but to leave protrusions for attaching to the board with self-tapping screws. Keep in mind that a soft wheel will sag, so the stiffness of the tire will limit the weight of those who can use the swing.
Processed emery cloth The board will protect your children’s sensitive areas from splinters. The painted product will impress the neighbors. It is better to place the handles across the board. They must have big sizes so that the child's hand does not get stuck under the handle when falling. If you don’t walk around the dacha at night, you can attach decorative eyes to the swing.
A rocking chair for one child can have a base of more than simple shapes. Not everyone has an old bicycle handlebar and can be replaced with a shovel handle.
A car, a tractor and a tank are all made from old wheels
The number of places and the limits of imagination are unlimited I think that one of these cars will be able to distract your child from the TV. For a car, in addition to worn wheels, you will need a steering wheel. Unneeded wheels, hubcaps and headlights are present in almost any garage and will be happily used for useful purposes.
In the simplest version it is suitable as a seat regular board, laid on the tire. Broken plastic chair will allow you to create a Schumacher car. The most important thing is not to skimp on paint and imagination when working with the model.
There is no arguing about tastes when it comes to the future tractor driver and general Nothing prevents you from building both a tractor and a tank from tires. Discuss the design idea with your child and include him in the creation process.
Furniture for adults and children at their summer cottage
“Indestructible” furniture for the garden Such furniture can definitely be left in the garden. Rain won't ruin it; it's easier for attackers to do their part than to carry heavy loads. If you drill holes and thread a weather-resistant cord through them, the result will be original and reliable. Several round pieces of wood can be cut from thick branches. Then they should be cleared of bark, the ends should be sanded and varnished. We twist everything with self-tapping screws and get a chair and a table.
The simplest thing is to lay the tires on top of each other and cover them with sheets of moisture-resistant material, such as OSB. Surfaces coated with moisture-resistant glossy varnish will be protected from moisture, will not get dirty, and can be easily wiped clean from dust. To prevent the tires from moving, they can be fastened with self-tapping screws.
Another step towards perfection is soft seats and backrests. It is convenient to cut the bases of such parts from plywood. Foam rubber 2-5 cm thick is laid on them and covered with furniture fabric. The fabric is wrapped and stapled to the plywood using a staple gun.
Comfortable armrests are made from motorcycle tires. In this case, the armrests and backrest are fastened with screws, washers and nuts M6, M8. As already mentioned, screws should be used of the optimal length, with a semi-countersunk head or with a hemispherical head. It is better to use decorative cap nuts. Screws that are too long must be cut off.
The bases and backs of the seats, as you can see in the photo, can be made from tread strips. The strips are intertwined and attached to the inside of the tire rim. In this case, you can do without screws if you screw self-tapping screws of the optimal length into the tire so that they do not protrude.

All tire crafts are equal - flamingos, snails and elephants Figures the size of a man can be easily made from worn wheels. They are good in the yard, behind the fence, and on the playground. To mount the wheels on top of each other, it is convenient to use a piece of reinforcement or metal pipe, driven into the ground. It is important that the rod passes through both tires to the entire height of the craft. It is convenient to cut flat circles from plywood, OSB, plastic and even linoleum.
