Turning used items into various pieces of furniture and decor has long become the norm. For old tires, pallets and plastic bottles many people no longer look at them as garbage, but only as construction material. Perhaps, after reading our article, you will also join them, because today we will talk about what amazing crafts from tires you can make with your own hands.
Let's start with not just beautiful, but with beautiful and useful. From used tires you can make many functional things for your garden plot.
Old tires need to be washed and cleaned. You can use it for cleaning special means for cleaning tires - then your tire will acquire a black shiny appearance.
To get rid of the gloomy black color, first paint our entire workpiece white. Then we apply our drawing with colored paints. And finally, add clear dark contours to the drawing.
For the middle of our ottoman we make a round pillow. In order to apply color painting on black leatherette, fill the space under the design with white paint, and then apply a colored pattern on top of it.
If for garden furniture made from tires its resistance to weather conditions, then for a gazebo or terrace we can make another beautiful version of an ottoman from tires.
We attach the legs to the tire that has been cleaned of dirt.
Knitting lateral surface for our ottoman. If you don’t know how or don’t want to knit, you can use parts of an old sweater for these purposes.
We fasten the knitted fabric to the tire from the side and bottom. Closing top hole in a tire all around made of plywood.
We crochet the round knitted piece for the top of the ottoman with the side piece.
There are others simple options garden furniture made from tires. We can stack tires on top of each other and use scraps from the top of the tire to make seats and armrests.
Or another version of furniture made from tires. Wooden spacers are inserted into the tire halves and a soft roll is sewn in - so you have a comfortable seat for the chair.
It is easy to make devices for playgrounds from tires. For example, here is a simple swing.
Or a car that will not leave any child indifferent.
Very often, old tires are used to create flower beds and street flower pots. So to speak, cheap and cheerful. The flowerbed can be given more decorative look, decorating its edges in a more interesting way.
To make such a flowerbed, you should mark the side of the tire as shown in the photo. And then just cut along the line.
The cutting process itself can be tricky. Ideally, this is best done with a jigsaw. If you are cutting with a knife, then lifting the cut with a wooden peg will make your work much easier.
The cut tire must be turned out. It's easier to do it together. But you can turn out the tire alone by stepping on the edge of the tire with your foot and turning out the other edge with your hands.
Such flower beds can be varied and original - this is what helped them gain great popularity. Most known variant— place the tire on the stand that we previously cut from its upper part.
In previous articles we discussed in detail how to decorate garden plot and any other territory, how to use dozens in various ways and how to make a variety of creative and safe things out of tires. Today we will raise the topic of children's sports grounds, which are one of the the best ways recycling a huge amount of used rubber, thereby helping environment, as well as the arrangement of courtyards and children's sports grounds where the state is not able to take care of this. For example, in the countryside, in remote ordinary villages and poor dacha-type settlements, simply no one except you yourself will build a playground, which is so important for children in the summer.
Such children's playgrounds are good big amount a variety of projectiles in defiance of the beautiful, bright, but very limited commercial yard structures. The main thing here is ideas, availability of hands and time. In addition to the wheels, you will need wood, as well as a lot of fasteners, bolts and nuts and sand, and possibly some chains.
Remember that, despite the fact that children will walk on the tires with their feet, rubber that has served its purpose on dirty and toxic roads must still be washed in a strong cleaning solution before use, then rinsed with water under strong pressure.
So let's get started: ideas and short description. In each example, pay attention to the size and thickness of the tires and their parts. Key moment The key to assembling such play structures is that each tire must rest against something above and below or be suspended from something - also most often both above and below, so as not to deform too much during use - under the weight of children.
First of all, these are, of course, bulk and hanging structures, along which you need to climb up: at an angle, vertically, or onto some three-dimensional figure.
This simplest form- “Wall”, when you have to climb up on one side, climb over the crossbar from above and go down on the other side.
Vertical hanging wall from tires on chains for older children.
Another slanted wall where the entire tires are nailed to wooden canvas, and mulch or sand is poured between the tires and into them below. Pay attention to the cable-rope running from above: you can climb the wall by grabbing the tires with your hands and resting your feet on the bottom ones, or you can climb by walking with your feet and moving over the cable to keep your body position perpendicular to the canvas.
Similar - without mulch, but tires of different sizes to make climbing absolutely safe, but a little more difficult.
Again, a wall with a slope, but pay attention to the “goats” made of wood, and also to the fact that the two lower rows of the wall are made of tires, and the two upper ones above them are made of tire tubes.
Low incline hanging wall for training agility and balance.
The same thing, but with a greater slope and made from half car tire tubes:
An analogue is a suspended track made of tires.
All kinds of other volumetric structures for climbing:
Worth doing it in 3 levels
And here they made ladders from tires, and dug them into an embankment of sand and earth. In some cases they were used as a ladder for slides.
Finally, a very interesting general “swing” made of tires (for a group of children), on which you can climb and sit, but you can hardly swing.
A variety of hanging structures of various formats between beams or side supports made of tires: in the middle, tires can hang or be fixed/lie statically, positioned vertically or horizontally.
The next idea is tire tunnels, but the tires must be of the appropriate size. Tunnels can be ground or mounted (on chains) for older children (in this case, the tires must be fixed both from below and from above, so that the wheel does not suddenly “move” to the side when the child is inside) or on a beam (at the same time, so that someone - it didn’t fall out, the tires should occupy the entire space between the vertical posts). Using wood between large tires or concrete pipes. Inclined (tires are fastened together with chains so that the tires do not collect at the bottom) and vertical.
Mulch from wood chips here is a very bad choice, sand, of course, is much better
Essentially it's fun arithmetic, but with the appropriate tire size it's a great tunnel for little ones
And here, in an excellent creative sports device for training your arms, there are tires - a springy platform-buffer for landing and pushing off with your feet.
