Usage car tires in the country is also justified, as is the use 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 have used wood, metal, plastic and glass bottles, but today it's the turn to pay attention to at least 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 established that the design soft ottoman it takes literally an hour from the tire.
Use for production country furniture” You can use tires of almost any diameter and size, but try to choose not the most dilapidated so that the reinforcing fibers from the base material do not give 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, thus 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 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 desired shape with which to carry out decorative works;
- 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;
- Do the rest 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;
- special shape wooden blocks, 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 were talking 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, its main part forms decoration slices, 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 lubricate it abundantly 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 tire bears, 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 from upright installed tires, which fit snugly against each other 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 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 a role not only original jewelry for the landscape of the summer cottage, but to 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 metal carcass. But as you can see, this is not a simple one, but wicker furniture, and therefore interest in it is increased.
A similar set and a little lower, but this is already cushioned furniture for giving. 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 you with an idea, a homemade septic tank or a special pit for country toilet from old tires. Talk in detail about building a toilet or cesspool we will not, since the site already has thematic material, but we will simply present you with another useful direction in which you can use car tires.
What can be done from car tires (video)
Human imagination has no limits, and the desire to achieve the maximum in practicality is suburban area, is often the primary target. 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 have presented you 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

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 do something like that, but now I’ll make myself a couple of curious fakes in order to decorate my own country house)
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 started to do it myself different kind 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 please tell me which better paint use it for such “folk art”?) So that it doesn’t leak from the rain and the smell doesn’t have a sharp, there are a lot of options now, I would like it not to peel off in a month or two, I don’t understand anything about it, but there are tires left from my father’s old car, the children want to experiment) I want to not 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 just conquered, but it's very fine 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 15.08.2017I 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.
Add a commentRecently, the boundaries of applied art have expanded to an unprecedented size; even more improvised materials have been used for it.
To decorate summer cottages or backyards of houses, playgrounds, it is beneficial to use decorative crafts tire based.
Since rubber is very malleable and allows you to create unique modifications of flower beds, furniture elements, flowerpots and even amazing animal-shaped figures.
How to learn to make all these delights?
For starters, you can check out existing photos tire crafts to make sure this idea is real. Creativity allows you to transform a dull tire into an element that complements landscape decor.
To do this, you just need to connect your imagination and arm yourself necessary tools. You will definitely need a knife with a well-sharpened blade, gloves, it is convenient to use chalk and paint to mark the contours. It is advisable to start by creating a sketch of an object conceived for implementation.
All kinds of crafts car tires are quite easy to create because it is easy to work with. It is ideal for use in open spaces. Its characteristics allow it to withstand variability environment and weather component.
The charm of the invented elements for summer cottages, playgrounds are able to give off their warmth for many years. But do not forget that rubber can get very hot under the influence of the sun.
Therefore, furniture elements from it, added to the decor, should be covered with something, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to sit on them. Either way, there are more benefits. It is very easy to take care of them. Rare washing with soapy water is required.
What can be created?
To decorate the selected area, you can make crafts from tires with your own hands. For example, it can be amazing figurines in the form of animals. Full similarity in this situation is not necessary, since it is difficult to achieve.
However, it is worth making holes in several tires, bending them in some places, and now he is ready for a charming image of a bear cub, giraffe, dog, huge elephant, small turtle, donkey, frog or bloodthirsty crocodile, terrifying visitors to your impromptu zoo.
If this seems not enough, there is an opportunity to continue the flight of fancy and try to portray Luntik, Fixiki or other cartoon characters. Children will especially like it. It is important to remember that, as a finish, it is necessary to complement the products with authentic painting. The crocodile should be green, the bear should be brown, and so on.
In principle, it may not be very easy for everyone. Then one can only limit simple products. Crafts from tires for the garden also look very good. The easiest way is to create a flower bed for various flowers.
However, with a little more creative effort, it is possible to make unique versions of planters, flowerpots. It is convenient to add soil and transplant plants in them.
Summer residents have long noticed that tires are beneficial to use for the formation of compost types of wells by installing tires on top of each other. And it is easy to make swings, stylish fences, steps, children's sandboxes and even armchairs.
How to decorate a playground with them?
In fact, it is children's tire crafts that are the easiest to create. This is due to the fact that children's imagination has no boundaries and everything will be interesting to them. Even if the product looks a bit like a lion or other animal, it will cause a storm of emotions and make children spend a lot of time playing with it.
Relying on a few outdated tires, you can create decorations for the playground, creating a unique atmosphere of a fairy-tale town. Toddlers will enjoy spending their time here, and it will help to push the development of their intellect.
Consider a few products for children
Now we will actually conduct a do-it-yourself tire crafts master class based on creating a sandbox. Children are very fond of using sand for their games, because of this they will be delighted with the fact that such a place appears.
However, for this product it is best to take a tire from KAMAZ, since it is of sufficient size. It must be qualitatively installed on the required area and painted.
To complete it, you will have to fill it with a sufficient amount of sand. Children are allowed to participate in this process, as it will be interesting for them.
The image of the sun based on tires, bottles
It will help to decorate almost all playgrounds, gardens. For manufacturing, you will need a tire from a car, some plywood, required amount self-tapping screws, several half-liter plastic containers to create an imitation of the rays of a star.
To form a solid image, similar to the sun, you need to mount the plywood on the surface of the tire, add bottles to the outside, placing them in a circle, decorate the necessary places with yellow paint, draw a smile on the plywood and you're done.
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 a garden bed.
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.
photo: do-it-yourself parrot from a tire 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.
Most popular in garden crafts figurine is a 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 outwardly, it is necessary to give certain colors paint.
Furniture made from car tires will look great at their summer cottage. You can even do comfortable options using various soft pads. 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 everything will not work for you more than an hour. 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.

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, with the help of self-tapping screws we fasten it 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)

- 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 coffee table screw the wheels to the bottom. It looks beautiful and unusual, suitable for apartment use, the only drawback can be the weight of the product.

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 the tree, if suitable place no, 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 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 out of anything. Tires can be easily used to create furniture and more. Various photos Tire crafts can be found on the Internet, with their help you can find inspiration and improve crafts, adapt them to yourself, or make the same.
DIY tire crafts photo
Do you have a garden or vegetable garden and old unnecessary tires? Then you just have to make a cute craft. It will become the pride of your site if you do everything diligently and accurately. No special financial costs are required for this, but the time is needed from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
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.
Tire swan - master class 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. When finished, turn the tire inside out. The cut off part usually serves as a stand. Now take some paint outdoor works any color and decorate your flowerpot to the end.
