It is always nice to make something beautiful and useful out of junk things. A good example of such creativity is beautiful flowerbeds made of tires. They are easy to make and the benefits are huge. But the fantasy of country masters is not limited to this. From old wheels, which often just lie on the road and pollute the environment, they make street furniture, sculptures for the garden, and even rebuild small children's towns.
Such a simple and unsightly material at first glance, like old car tires, in fact, seems to be specially created so that every summer resident can feel like a real artist and decorate his site with real designer flower beds and original author's sculptures. Without exaggeration, anything can be cut out of tires. Such crafts, along with those made from plastic bottles, will delight the eyes of the owners and guests of the cottage all year round, and most importantly, they will not require special financial investments.
It’s also nice that the benefits of the idea of making DIY crafts from tires are twofold: on the one hand, we recycle the wheel that polluted the environment, and on the other, we get an original garden decoration or flower bed.
Crafts from used rubber tires amaze with their variety and how rich the imagination of their authors is. Here are the most common ones:
In the photo - flower beds from tires Small flower bed. The easiest way to make flowerbeds from tires is to leave the tire as it is, just brightly decorate it and fill it with earth. Nothing complicated. Even a weak woman or child can handle this, and such a flower garden will look great.
In this photo - cups made from old wheels Flower beds from old tires in the form of various objects. Make them harder. The tire is cut into two unequal parts and the larger one is turned inside out. It is worth noting that the edges of the tires can be made in various shapes, it's all about imagination and sleight of hand. In this technique, flower beds are made in the form of a mug, flower, vase. A huge rubber cup made of tires looks very funny. And some craftsmen, in this way, build a whole tea set on their site.
Turtle from old wheels Flowerbeds and sculptures in the form of animals and fairy-tale characters. A funny tire frog, a kind gnome, a mysterious unicorn, beautiful swans, a three-headed dragon, a turtle, a luxurious carriage, a huge telephone - it is easier to list what is not made from this affordable material. The only condition is to think over the composition from the very beginning so that there are no unpleasant surprises later.
In the photo - multi-tiered flower beds or berries Multi-tiered flower beds of several tires. The simplest in execution is three-tier, but the number of parts can be more. Several tires of the same or different sizes are placed on top of each other or in a checkerboard pattern. The well of tires looks impressive, stylized as a real one and equipped with all its inherent attributes: a chain, a shaft with a visor, a bucket. Such a flower garden can also be used as a vertical bed for growing berries and vegetables.
Flowerbeds from tires for strawberries A flowerbed for strawberries from tires will take up a minimum of space and give a rich harvest. It is perfect for growing seedlings, herbs, peppers. From such a flower bed, you can make a fence for a raspberry or currant bush, or make several of them and delimit the garden into cultural zones. It is worth mentioning that a tire well is often made not only decorative, but also masks a drainage pit or septic tank.
Experienced craftsmen and craftswomen know many secrets that help them create garden sculptures and flower beds from tires with their own hands. They understand better than anyone how to make unique and inimitable author's crafts out of old rubbish that no one needs. Here are just a few of those secrets:
It is better to paint a flower bed from a tire not only from the outside, but also from the inside. So they will look more aesthetically pleasing, and black rubber will not be visible from the inside.
Of course, each master has his own secrets, and it is unrealistic to list them all. And when you get into this exciting business - tire sculpture, they will certainly appear in yours.
As mentioned above, tire crafts are diverse. Their appearance and purpose are limited only by the imagination of the master. We suggest you familiarize yourself with the basic models. After reviewing them, you will learn how to make a flower bed out of tires with your own hands and you will be able to create original, different and useful garden accessories yourself.
A small flower bed, made like a daisy from a single tire, is the simplest basic model. You can make several such flower beds, arrange them hardly and decorate the approach to the house. Sometimes they are placed on paved or paved areas.
We will need:
Mark the place of the cut with a marker. We will cut the tire along them, from thickening to thickening.
Before cutting tires, make sure that they do not have metal cords that can ruin the knife. Usually they are inserted into tires for trucks.
We cut the tire around the entire circumference with even zigzag petals of any shape of your choice (triangular, oval, semicircular).
We turn the tire over and work with its reverse side. Leading the knife along the thickening, cut out a circle from the back of the tire.
Then, around the entire circumference inside the tire, approximately every 20-25 cm, we make transverse cuts from the cut edge to the bend (the end of the tread).
After that, the tire must be turned out. The flower bed is ready. It remains only to paint it, giving it a more attractive look, fill it with earth and plant plants.
For more clarity, watch the following video:
From an old wheel, you can make a beautiful garden vase in a short time.
Such flowerpots look better in a pair in front of the house, on opposite sides of the door or porch. Consider a step-by-step master class on their manufacture.
We will need:
With a chalk or a marker along the entire frontal circumference of the tire, we mark a zigzag line, along which we will begin to cut. Thanks to her, the flowerpot will look like a large flower with many petals.
Cut the tire along the marked line with a sharp knife. To facilitate the process, the knife is periodically dipped in engine oil (used oil is also suitable).
After the wheel is cut, we check if there are any sections that are not completely cut out, and proceed to turn it inside out. It is better to do this together with an assistant, slowly, in parts.
After we managed to unscrew the tire for the future flower bed, it turned out that there is a chamber in the wheel. It needs to be cut out and thrown away.
The vase is ready. His bowl came from the main part of the wheel. It is not necessary to remove the disc from the tire. It serves as an elevation and stand for the vase, and the remains of the tire at its base provide additional support.
We just have to clean, degrease and decide how beautifully to paint our new garden vase. When you fill the bowl with earth, do not forget to put a gasket on its bottom so that the earth does not spill out and make several holes in it to drain the water.
Video instruction for making a flowerpot:
The most popular garden tire sculptures are swans. Usually they are placed near an artificial pond, which gives the site a stunning look. You can plant grass in the bird itself, then it will give the impression that it is peeking out from behind the vegetation. A detailed step-by-step instruction with a photo will help to make it.
We will need:
According to the scheme, we mark the contours of the future swan on the surface of the tire according to the following video, in which the author uses sizes in inches, calling them in the international measurement system - inch. Inch (1 inch) = 2.54 cm.
How beautiful and accurate our sculpture will turn out depends on the accuracy of the markup.
Let's start cutting. At the initial section, we drill 3-4 holes with a drill at a distance of 3-5 cm and cut the tire between them with a knife. We insert a jigsaw into the resulting cut and begin to cut out the swan.
After all the contours are cut out, we turn the tire out. We try to do it carefully, because careless movements in the thinnest places can tear it.
To make the bird's figure look more neat, we smooth all the cuts along the contour with a grinder.
To shape the neck of a swan, we insert a wire into it. To do this, we drill holes in the center of the neck and to the end of the body every 20 cm. We impose the wire and fix it in the holes with soft staples.
We form the head. We make longitudinal cuts and holes, as shown in the photo, and using the same wire or plastic clamps, we shape the head of a swan.
Our tire swan is ready. It remains to paint it and make a stand.
The swan can be painted white or not painted at all, leaving it black. We make the beak red. Swans look very nice in a pair: black and white.
Without a stand, soft rubber swans will not stand. As it, you can simply take any tire and paint it, for example, in blue. Thus, it will symbolize the pond. And you can not be too lazy and make it curly.
We make a figured stand in the same way. We mark the contour on the tire along which we will cut, cut the tire along it, turn it inside out and paint.
In a similar technique, any figures can be made from tires: animals, birds, fairy-tale creatures.
But, if you don't want to mess around with complicated markings and cutting, you can do it easier. For example, to assemble a cute frog from whole tires.
In the photo - a flower bed in the form of a frog A frog made of tires is very simple. From one or more tires, a larger body and head are assembled, from small wheels, for example, from a baby stroller - eyes, and from rubber scraps of paws.
A decoration that is easier to make than this flower bed is hard to come up with. Despite the fact that it will need several car tires, it can be assembled in just 15-20 minutes, it looks pretty, neat and will never be superfluous.
We will need:
All tires, having previously marked the places of cuts, are cut in half. Before cutting, find out if there are metal cords in the rubber. The knife will not take them, so use the grinder.
To give the future flower bed aesthetics, you can paint the tires. It is better to do this in advance, immediately after cutting.
Each owner of a country house seeks to decorate the area adjacent to it. Buying industrial flowerpots made of concrete or plastic modules quickly solves this problem, but is accompanied by serious costs. In order to save money, you can use a step-by-step guide to create such a simple product as a do-it-yourself tire flower bed: a photo of a wheel tire flower bed and practical recommendations will help you navigate this issue.
Creating a flower bed on the site is one of the most effective ways to ennoble the landscape. The original and bright design of the product will become the object of everyone's attention. Often, flower beds are made from improvised materials, such as car tires. This point is due to the fact that the rubber from which the wheels are made is easily amenable to various types of processing. It has a flexible and elastic structure that allows you to give products the desired shape.
Using tires for the manufacture of flower beds, you also care about the environment. Most motorists throw their used tires into a landfill, where they take up usable space and pollute the environment. If you do not have material on hand, you can ask neighbors who do not need old tires for it.
Car tires can be painted. To improve the decorative characteristics, many owners of summer cottages complement their appearance with other materials, while creating flower beds with a unique appearance.
Numerous photos of do-it-yourself flower beds from a tire, which you can come across on the net, indicate that the main advantage of a rubber product is its originality.
There are other benefits as well:
There are practically no drawbacks to this method of creating flower beds. The only downside can be considered that not all owners of suburban areas consider such a material option as an attractive option as a car tire. Some of them lean towards more elegant or simple flower beds that do not require time and effort to make.
To create an original flower garden from wheel tires, you do not need to have special skills and knowledge. You just need to familiarize yourself with the basic information, have the instructions and the appropriate tools at hand.
According to the type of construction, the following types of flower beds are distinguished:
A round flower bed in its original form is the simplest and most concise design option. It is enough to paint the tire in the color you like, fill it with earth and plant the plants.
Multilevel structures are created on the basis of tires with different diameters. They are placed on top of each other (in decreasing order of size) and filled with soil. According to the pyramid principle, ordinary tires of the same size can also be stacked. Only in this case, a certain number of wheels are placed in the base of the structure, and this number decreases with each tier.
Hanging-type flowerbeds are attached to a pipe, a tree branch with chains or a rope, having previously blocked the bottom with some kind of material. This type of flower garden is created according to the principle of flower pots.
To start work, you should decide on the design and its dimensions based on the available materials and the size of the site where the flower bed will be installed. It should be noted that in large areas it is recommended to install large and massive products. Suitable flower beds of a multi-tiered type or compositions from a large number of small flower beds.
Use these helpful tips to create your own flowerbed of tires, the photo of which you liked.
Rules for creating a successful flower bed:
It is not recommended to leave the flower bed in its original form after the work on its form is completed. The black product looks unaesthetic. Before starting work, it is worth stocking up on paint and materials for decorative decoration of the flower garden. Think ahead of the future design. Bright colors will diversify the appearance of the flower bed. They can be combined.
Allowed use:
Rubber is a specific material that requires special handling. The following types of paints can be used to paint a car tire product:
To increase the adhesive properties of the oil coloring composition, it is recommended to pre-treat the rubber surface with a primer. This preparatory procedure will allow you to get rid of the roughness and irregularities that may be on the tire. In this case, the primer composition GF-021 will be optimal. It will reduce paint consumption. To enhance the strength of the coating, a small amount of PVA adhesive can be added to the primer.
The flower bed must be painted not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Since the black edges will still show through the green spaces. The primer is applied to the surface of the product with a brush. The staining process can only be started after it is completely dry.
At first glance, it may seem that the worn rubber of a car tire is not the best material for creating a flower bed. The round shape of the tire itself looks rather plain and boring. But this does not mean that the design of a flower bed made of this material is strictly limited to its original shape.
Flexible rubber allows you to roam your imagination and come up with many options that are suitable for creating a flower garden on the site. Most of these products do not even evoke the idea that old car tires served as the material for their manufacture.
Conventionally, the most popular design options can be divided into several categories:
Each type of construction has its own manufacturing characteristics. Using the recommendations for creating beautiful flower beds from car tires, you can easily fill your site with original products.
Flower beds in the form of voluminous flowerpots can most often be seen on the territory of suburban areas. Such designs are simple in execution and have a spectacular appearance. To begin with, you should take care of the availability of the necessary tools, materials and related devices:
The simplest flowerbed in the form of a turtle will require two identical tires, an old rubber ball and a spring. One tire is laid on the ground and remains intact (it will be the body), the second is cut so that four pieces of the same size eventually come out. The cut parts are fixed to the structure. These will be the paws. With the help of a spring (neck), a head in the form of a ball is mounted on the body.
The finished product is dyed. The necessary details are being drawn: eyes, nostrils, mouth. According to this principle, you can create figures of other animals.
The manufacturing technology of this product involves turning the tire inside out. That is why it is so important to choose tires with soft and thin rubber.
Main stages of work:
The shape of the petals can be absolutely any:
These petals will subsequently be located along the edge line of the flowerpot.
Marking with chalk or soap is applied to the top of the tire (on one side). Using a cutting tool (scissors or jigsaw), make cuts along the marked lines.
Turning the tire on the wrong side will require some skill and some effort. To achieve the desired result, you need to turn the tire with the whole side up, grab the product by the edge line of the just made cuts located at the bottom with your hands, and, pressing on the tread, carefully unscrew it. At about half the work done, the tire should be flattened into an oval. After that, turning it inside out will become even easier.
The last step will be the coloring of the finished product in the selected color. It is better if the shade is in harmony with the general appearance of the site. Solid colors look attractive, but a variety of colors will make the flower bed more spectacular.
The easiest way to make a standing flower bed is to attach 3-4 legs to the previously described version of the product. To create them, you can use semicircular tire trimmings (the area near the disk), bent pipes or fittings.
To create a more stable flower garden, you can use a tire equipped with a metal disc. The execution technology is almost the same as in the previous case: the wheel is laid on a flat surface, markings are applied in the form of petals and cuts are made up to the tread itself. Both parts of the tire turn outward.
The elements are stacked on top of each other so that a large flowerpot on a leg is obtained. Before planting plants, it must be painted. Decorative design can be the most diverse:
A tea set in the form of a cup and a teapot is quite simple to create. For the kettle, you will need three tires with different diameters. The largest tire fits under the bottom. It will serve as the bottom. Two other tires are stacked on top of it. Moreover, the smaller of them should fall in the middle of the structure, and the one that is larger (but less than the bottom) is already laid on top of it.
Pipes are required to form the spout and handle. The spout is made of a drain with a curved shape. An ordinary pipe with a diameter of 3 cm is suitable for a handle. It needs to be shaped like a hook. Having made these elements, they should be attached to the structure in the places of fixing and mark the lines of cuts, where they will subsequently be inserted and fixed.
The cup is made from three tires of different sizes. Take a pair of tires from a car. You will also need a large truck tire. It will serve as the basis for creating a saucer. To do this, the top is cut off from the product. Both edges (outside and inside the wheel) are processed so that a flat part resembling a saucer remains. It is slightly buried in the soil, and tires from a car are installed on top (one on top of the other).
The resulting tea service items are filled with soil into which flowers are planted.
The flower beds, resembling animals, are partly made from whole and cut tires. A flower garden in the form of a swan is considered one of the most difficult options for making a flower bed. It includes a tire-reversal method. But at the same time, complex markup is done.
Cutting with an electric jigsaw must be accurate and accurate. To make the neck of the bird curved and fix it in this position, you should use a wire. The decor is done in such a way that the flowerbed looks like a swan. The beak is made separately.
The following flowers are suitable for creating compositions with a combined height:
In the central part, you can place dahlias, phloxes, plants with an unusual shape and foliage. They will attract the eye, focus attention at the required point.
Having tried simple ways to make flower beds from old tires, you can move on to more complex designs. Tires are suitable for flowerbeds in the form of snails, frogs, parrots, zebras, bears, turtles.
Spring, flowers, the beginning of the summer season ... What do you want to do in the very first days of your arrival at the dacha? Of course, decorate it. Flower arrangements have always been the best decoration of all suburban areas.
To do this, you can simply buy stereotypical flowerpots and plant them with flowers. But you can put in a little effort and make your site individual and different from everyone else.
Old tires are a wonderful material for such creativity. Instead of throwing them to the curb, you can give them a second chance. Free time, a little imagination - and old car tires will turn your suburban area into a fairy tale!
The simplest flowerbed- this is the wheel in its original form, laid on the ground and painted with paint. This is a long-bored option for the lazy.

Here are some conditions to consider when choosing:
Consider step by step instructions for the manufacture of flower beds from an old tire:
Attention! If there are no assistants, press each inverted section with your foot so that the tire does not turn out in the opposite direction and you do not have to start all over again.
Agree that black flower beds and flowerpots do not look aesthetically pleasing at all. Pick up bright colors and take care of the design of your product. This is exactly the moment when you need to fully use your imagination. You can combine different colors and shades, as well as apply patterns or geometric patterns.
Oil paint It will adhere more strongly to the rubber surface if it is pre-primed. This will help smooth out the bumps and roughness of the rubber surface, as well as save paint. Primer GF-021 quite suitable for a rubber surface, and if you add a little PVA glue to it, the coating will become even stronger.
Advice! Your flower bed will be much more beautiful if you paint not only its outer side, but also the inside.
Various options for decorating flower beds from tires:
The flower bed is ready, it remains only to pour fertile soil into it and plant flowers. It can be ampelous(with flexible long shoots) and cascading plants such as pelargonium, petunia or tumbelina. Their long shoots, decorated with flowers, will hang down spectacularly.
You can create a whole composition consisting of high plants in the middle of the flower bed and undersized along the edges. Undersized marigolds, petunias, pansies are great as background plants.
As focal plants in the center you can plant phloxes, annual dahlias or flowers that attract attention due to their shape or unusual leaves.
Having tried your hand at creating a flower bed or a vase, you can start creating more complex figurines and crafts. From old tires you can make flower beds in the shape of a swan, frog, cup, turtle, snail.

In contact with
Car tires have long and firmly taken their place among garden design materials. No wonder. For the reliability of vehicles, the highest quality rubber is used, which is not afraid of aggressive environmental influences, it is plastic and durable. Craftsmen have learned to build entire sports towns, artificial reservoirs from this simple material, and cut out various figures. Use a car tire and to create flower beds. This article will discuss how to turn out such a versatile material as a tire for a flower garden in order to create original stemmed flower beds. Recommendations will be supplemented by a visual video at the end of the text.
To make a flowerpot on a leg, you need a whole wheel with a disk. Not everyone on the site has a large assortment of used wheels, however, and not all of them are easy to use for this purpose.
For the first trial version, it is worth choosing a wheel, taking into account the following nuances:
If among the available stocks of a suitable wheel was not found, you can go to the nearest tire shop, where with great pleasure they will give away a few of any of your choice for nothing. Before starting work, the wheel must be cleaned of dirt and dust. Such a procedure is necessary not so much for aesthetic reasons, but to ensure that the sand does not dull the tools.
We take the desired tire and make markings on it
The work on making a flower bed on a leg includes several stages:
To make the flowerpot neat and even, it is necessary to draw lines for future cuts. To do this, you need to lay the tire horizontally and draw zigzag lines from the disk to the periphery. Outwardly, the drawing should resemble flower petals. Petals can be made sharp or rounded, thin or thickened - in general, to your taste. It is only necessary to take into account that the openwork edge will be important not only for the future bowl, but also for the leg.
You can draw lines with a marker or even chalk. When working with chalk, there is a significant drawback: it is easily erased, and it may happen that the markup disappears during work, and, accordingly, cutting inaccuracies may occur, so it is more reliable to make a contour with a marker.
The video below shows how to make a flower bed from a tire:
Many high-quality tires, for reliability of use for their intended purpose, are reinforced with metal reinforcement - metal cord. This metal wire greatly complicates the eversion process. But there is a little trick: you can make cuts with a grinder on the outside of the tire to cut the metal cord, but at the same time preserve the integrity of the future flowerpot. Incisions should be made every ten centimeters.
Perform this procedure carefully so as not to cut through the rubber through. The fact that the metal cord is cut will be indicated by light metal dust on the tire, smoke and sparks in the cut area when in contact with the angle grinder. Seeing these signs, you should not deepen the cut further, so as not to make a hole in the vase, the goal has already been achieved.
The picture shows in detail how to cut and then unscrew the tire
The operation of cutting out the flowerpot pattern is carried out with a knife. The knife must be very sharp, then the vase will turn out to be even and neat. The upper part of the wheel must be completely separated from the lower part along the marked lines. This results in a bowl with a lid. The cover is held from the side of the disc. It turned out a champignon mushroom turned upside down. This is clearly visible in the video.
The main and most time-consuming process in the work. It requires a certain physical preparation and brute male power. A woman is unlikely to cope with such a task. It is more convenient to do this part of the work together. It is necessary to turn the product with the cut side down (put the champignon on the leg). Pick up the edge of the tire with a strong object, such as a crowbar or pry bar, and proceed to turn the tire inside out.
Raw material for the flower bed
At this time, it is necessary to firmly press the wheel disk to the floor. As soon as you manage to turn out a small area, the process will go faster. After half of the tire is turned out, you need to press on the tire from the sides, bringing its shape closer to the oval, this will allow the second half to turn out quickly without additional effort. The video at the end of the article will help visualize the process. In a global sense, the flower bed is ready.
A black rubber flower vase has an unpresentable appearance and is unlikely to become a garden decoration. In order for it to become a beautiful flower bed, you need to paint and decorate it. It is not worth postponing with painting, because immediately after manufacturing the rubber is shiny and clean, which will make the decorative finish smooth and durable.
Before painting, it is necessary to treat the vase with a degreaser. You can choose a universal degreaser or a special one for rubber. Various paints are suitable for applying color: enamels, oil and nitro paints. Car paint will work too. More uniform and accurate will be staining with a spray or can.
Our raw version of the flower garden can be decorated like this
Pro tip: flowerbeds made in light colors look more spectacular. But the choice of color and further decoration completely depend on the imagination of the master and the wishes of the owner of the flower bed. You can use multi-color staining, as in the video, as well as use glass, pieces of ceramics and other materials to decorate such a flower bed.
After the paint has dried, drainage and earth are laid in the flowerpot. Everyone, you can plant flowers! Vegetables will also look original in such flower beds, so you get a small impromptu garden. This technique will allow you to combine business with pleasure, especially in a small area. Or, on the contrary, flowerpots with flowers are easy to fit into a garden with beds, since the undoubted advantage of such decorations is mobility.
The video clearly demonstrates how to independently make a flower bed from tires, including turning and decorating a finished flowerpot:
