A flower bed from the tires with your own hands. How to make a flower bed of tires yourself

The problem of recycling worn-out tires has been of concern to environmentalists since the late 1970s. This is particularly true of our country, where there is still not enough enterprises that can use them as recyclables. As they say, in such a situation everyone is saved as he can, so you can only welcome those craftsmen who are trying to clear landfills from these non-decomposing waste and, for example, to make flower beds from tires with their own hands. They can be very different, from simply worn out tires in worn tires, in which flowers are planted, to complex vases in the form of swans with a bright pattern. If you are interested in this idea and would like to see a plot in front of your house adorned with a beautiful flowerbed of tires, how to make this yourself, you can read below.

Which to use

If you have the opportunity to choose, then a complex bed of tires made with your own hands, the manufacture of which involves cutting out figures, will look better if you use foreign-made products, because they have a more subtle and pliable rubber. In addition, it makes sense to give preference to winter tires, as they are more textured, and worn tires. The fact that the worn protector is softer, so the process of eversion is easier and does not require special efforts.

"Flower"

To make the original flowerbeds of tires with their own hands in the form of chamomiles, it is enough just to take 4 any tires, preferably of the same size. It will be necessary to remove the rubber from the metal rim and cut it so that two identical halves are produced. So it is necessary to do with three tires, and one of the rubber shells should be left untouched, as it will be used as the core of the flower. Then halves and the whole tire should be painted in different colors and dig 5-6 cm into the ground, laying out of them a flower that has 6 petals with a round center. The composition will look more interesting if the core is planted with flowers of one species, and the petals are of another.

The flower-pyramid

This very simple and beautiful version of the flower bed of tires, made by hand, suitable for plots or courtyards with a small area. To implement it, you need 6 tires to be painted in bright colors and placed in 3 rows, in which there will be 3, 2 and 1 tires. If the cottage area is quite spacious, you can make the construction more complicated by laying out a flower of 5-6 tires in the bottom row, on the second - from 3 and crowning it with one. Such a pyramid will look especially impressive, if you choose a plant with large sheets for the top "vase".

Flowerbeds from automobile tires with own hands in the form of a vase

There is also a more complex option, the implementation of which will require a lot of patience. However, the result is usually just superb.

So, in order to create original flower beds of tires with their hands in the form of large vases resembling opened flowers, it is necessary:

• Put the tire on a flat surface and chalk the petals of the desired shape along the entire circumference. The size of each petal should not exceed 12 cm.
• Cut the workpiece with a sharp knife or jig saw on the applied contour. To facilitate this task, you can occasionally apply a little liquid soap to the knife.
• Carry out longitudinal incisions along the grooves of the tread at a distance of about 10 cm.
• Using the Bulgarian, make a few cuts on the outside and gently cut the rubber with an indentation of 15 cm. If everything is done correctly and the Bulgarian touches the metal cord, white smoke should be emitted.
• Turn the tire inside out so that it turns out a kind of flower on the leg.
• Decorate using enamel, oil or nitro paint.

To make the flower bed of tires made with your own hands, it became even more beautiful, you can apply ornament or paste various decorative elements over the base layer of the paint.

The pyramid-hill

If you have 3 tires of different sizes or at least two and one plastic bucket with a capacity of 0.5 liters, you can make a pyramid on the principle of a well-known children's toy. To create it, the tires must be stacked on top of each other in order of decreasing diameter, filling each with earth. On top you need to install a bucket and plant in it and in the tires from the lower layers of climbing plants, so that they grow as it grows from the hill, covering it all.

A flower bed is a "cup"

Original will look and a flower bed of tires, made with their own hands in the form of a cup. And if the place allows, then on its site you can install even a whole tea service.

For such crafts, first of all you need to make the bottom part, which will represent the saucer. It will take a tire from the wagon, which the electric jigsaw needs to cut the sidewall (to make the work easier, it is recommended to cool the jig saw blade in a soap solution from time to time). Having finished this work, take the tire R13 and well ground, and even better with a shoe knife cut off the sidewall, lubricating the blade with liquid soap. After that, the tire is turned inside out so that the protector is inside, and a bowl without a bottom is obtained. The next stage is the manufacture of the upper part of the mug, which will require a slightly larger tire, for example, from UAZ. Both sides are cut from it. At the same time, on the one hand, it should be done so that the resulting hole in size does not exceed the diameter of the "bowl". In addition, from the scraps of the largest tire, a strip for the handle is cut out.

When all the details are ready, you should start painting and assembling the flowerbed. For this, the "saucer" and the handle are painted in one color, and the parts of the mug in the other. Next, on the spot where the flower bed is going to be laid, a piece of cellophane is laid and put on top of the "saucer", and in its opening, first set the "bowl", and then the top of the mug. Then, with the help of self-tapping screws, fix the handle and use a stencil to put circles on the mug in the color of the saucer. All! Now you know how to make a flower bed out of a tire with your own hands in the form of a cup. It remains to fill it with earth and plant flowers.

"Piglet" and "Ladybug"

If you have a question, how to make a flower bed of tires with your own hands is simpler, but so that it looks original, you can use your imagination. To do this, you can simply remove the "rubber band" from the rim, turn it to the wrong side and paint it appropriately. For example, if you want a ladybug on the site, you can paint the tire in red, apply black stencils with a stencil and draw a face with eyes. And you can make a funny piglet by painting an turned-out tire in a bright pink color and fitting a tail-spiral cut from a plastic bottle. After in such a bed will be covered with earth and planted plants, you need to cut a head with ears and a pencil from a piece of rubber from another tire and insert it inside the tire circle, between the flowers.

The flower bed is a "frog"

A flower bed made of tires, made by your own hands, can be of very different shapes, for example, a frog. For such crafts you will need:

• Three used car tires;
• Two covers from kilogram biscuits from under ice cream or melted butter;
• Enamel PF green, yellow or red;
• Self-adhesive color paper;
• hose;
• awl;
• sponge;
• wire.

How to make a flower bed "frog"

The manufacturing process is very simple: you need to paint the tires green and, if you want, apply yellow bezels on top. Then to the chosen place to install two tires, and from above, between them, the third. From the hose, also painted with green paint, it is necessary to cut out two lengths of about 1 m, and from another tire - 4 paws and lay two in front of the lower tires, and two between them, pre-attaching "hoses" to them. When the body of the frog is ready, you need to go to the design of her head. For this, on the lids of ice-cream bakes, it is necessary to draw eyes, and on the upper tire - with the red paint of the mouth. After that, it remains just to fall asleep and plant flowers. If there is a desire, you can turn a frog into an enchanted princess, having made her a crown from a plastic bottle, painted with yellow paint.

"The sun"

Many summer residents are interested in how to make a flower bed out of a tire with their own hands in the form of the sun. For such crafts, one tire, a bright yellow paint and several plastic bottles will be needed. The tire should be removed from the metal wheel and buried in the ground so that there is only a semicircle above the surface.

Then on the tire it is necessary to make holes with a diameter equal to the dimensions of the bottles of plastic bottles, and, having greased them with glue, screw them into the tires. After that, the whole construction should be painted yellow and planted with flowers.

Flower-pool for aquatic plants

Water lilies and water lilies can be an excellent decoration of the country plot. However, what to do if there is no possibility to equip at least a small pond or pool? In such cases, it is sufficient to make a "water" flower bed from the tire. To do this, the tires need to cut off the upper part and dig it into the ground to half. Then it is necessary to lay a round piece of a special waterproofing film on top, which is intended for equipping pools, 1 m in diameter larger than the diameter of the tire. Speakers above the edge of the tire edges of the film should be wrapped outside, fastened and overlaid with small round stones or broken bricks. It remains to place on the bottom of the reservoir a small net basket with the land into which the roots of the water-lily are planted.
