Many believe that to develop a beautiful landscape design only an experienced specialist can do it. But practice shows that such a point of view has nothing to do with reality. Make a garden or private plot everyone is capable - there would be a corresponding desire.
In order for the dacha or the adjoining territory to look decent, often neither high professionalism nor significant financial costs... Anything can be used: fragments of bricks, stones, plastic bottles, old watering cans and much more.
Flowerbed of tires
For example, an alpine slide, which is the object of dreams of many owners suburban areas, may well be built without the involvement of specialists. The most important thing is not to be afraid to experiment and boldly combine different objects and objects.
Interesting. Often old junk, which, it would seem, is time to throw it away, can do a good job in decorating the territory.
So, for example, from an old wobbly chair you will get a beautiful stand for a flowerpot. With an old chest of drawers, if you tint and decorate it appropriately, you can decorate any blank wall by planting bright flowers in its boxes.
More complex structures can be made from scrap materials, for example, having a metal bar at hand and flower pots, you can build a very interesting vertical flower bed.
Among domestic gardeners and owners of suburban areas, flower beds from tires are in high demand. They will be discussed below.
To start creating flower beds from tires with your own hands, you do not need special experience and knowledge. The most important thing is to have the necessary tools and basic information on hand.
By the type of construction, tire beds are:
Round flower beds made of wheels are the easiest option in execution. All that is required to organize a flower garden is to take tires, paint them in arbitrary colors, fill them with soil and plant plants.
Interesting. To get an interesting composition from a material such as a tire, you can paint the wheel material in bright colours and, laying on top of each other, form high flower beds.
As for multi-level structures, they are created from tires of various diameters. They are placed on top of each other according to the principle of a toy pyramid (in descending order of size) and filled with soil. This design is perfect for planting ampelous plants.
Layered tire construction
Suspended flower beds made of tires are allowed to be fixed different ways: to a pipe, chains or rope to a tree branch, etc. Only first you should not forget to cover the bottom of the improvised pots with some material.
Before proceeding with the manufacture of flower beds from tires, you should decide on the dimensions and design.
Do-it-yourself flower beds look very stylish. To work you need a tire, a sharp knife capable of cutting through thick rubber, and a marker (or chalk).
Flower-shaped flower beds Manufacturing work is carried out as follows:
Flower-shaped flower bed
Then you need to paint the product in a beautiful color, fill it with earth and plant flowers. Oil paint works best. Other types of paint may peel off.
Pot from an old wheel
Another interesting master class, which will be useful to lead, is devoted to making a stylish garden vase from a worn wheel. For work, you need to prepare a tire, which has a disc, knife and marker. Then they act according to the following scheme:
Important! Before pouring soil into such a vase, you must remember to put a gasket on the bottom, in which small holes should be provided to remove excess water after watering.
This is another simple and interesting option how to quickly make a flower bed in the form of daisies from a wheel. To work will require several tires and a sharp knife. In general, work will take no more than half an hour. The step-by-step workflow is as follows:
Form the heart of the chamomile from flowers. Alternatively, it can be in the shape of a circle, laid out from a material such as a plastic bottle (bottoms to the top) or a stone.
Flower bed chamomile from tires
If you approach the process of creating flower beds from tires creatively, original ideas will not keep you waiting. Answers to questions: is it worth it to additionally use plastic material, how and what to paint the wheels for the flower bed and what to plant in the flower garden as a result, will be found along the way.
To create an original pots in the form of a parrot from an old wheel, you will need the following materials:
Parrot cache-pot
The work is done in the following order:
It will take some effort to turn the tire inside out. To make work easier, it is recommended to make large cuts - up to the tread. First, turn one side out, then, slightly flattening the tire into an oval, do it completely.
If you still do not have enough strength, you should cut the part of the flower bed opposite the petals in a circle to remove the steel cord. True, in this case there is a risk that the structure will not keep its shape well enough.
Tire handling
You will need a sharp knife to cut the tire. First, a small hole is made in the tire. Then a cutting tool is inserted into it and the material is cut according to a predetermined marking. The knife should be periodically dipped in water or machine oil. This will greatly simplify the task.
When the structure is ready, it remains to paint it. To do this, the surface is completely degreased (for example, with acetone or white spirit) and allowed to dry.
The surface can be additionally primed, but this condition is not required, since even without this, the paint on the rubber lays down quite well. The staining process itself does not differ from similar works on another object.
Having dealt with the question of how to make a tire from a car wheel and how to cut and overlay everything correctly, it's time to understand what is better to plant in a flower bed of tires. Of course, there is no clear instruction as to which flower is best to place in flower beds made of hand-made tires.
Cover with flowers
Nasturtiums look no less bright. But, when planting this flower in flower beds from tires, it should be remembered that the culture does not tolerate transplantation very well. Accordingly, nasturtium should be placed in a permanent place of growth in the form of swollen seeds or ready-made seedlings in peat cups.
In addition, you can plant marigolds, vervain, viola and other not too whimsical flowers.
It is allowed to plant in homemade pots and perennials. These can be chrysanthemums, carnations, daisies, ornamental bows and much more.
The main condition is that the flowers planted in tires should be unpretentious and require minimal maintenance.
No matter how interesting the idea is, and no matter what kind of flowers was planted in an impromptu flower garden, the structure itself should be placed in such a way that access to it remains free. This will allow the plants to be properly cared for. Only in this case the use of tires as flower beds will be justified.
As for caring for flowers, it largely depends on what is specifically planted, and does not differ from the manipulations performed with a similar plant planted in open ground or a flower pot.
Concluding the conversation about how you can make a flower bed out of a wheel, it is worth noting that such a constructive solution within the framework of creating landscape design has a number of undoubted advantages:
Rubber is a very malleable material, and the question should not be about how to make a flower bed from a tire (especially since it is very easy), but which version of a flower garden is better to make from a set.
This site provides material on the manufacture of a car wheel. It turns out an original and beautiful product, but bad luck, the number of wheels at my disposal is limited. But much more waste tires have accumulated in the automotive history. It's time to dispose of them. Since there are a lot of tires, I decided to try to speed up the process of converting them into flower beds, cutting a dozen tires with a knife is still a laborious task. Then what to cut car tire? A manual jigsaw was used for cutting. I want to say right away that working with two different units, the best result was shown by a jigsaw with a capacity of 800 watts, the more powerful the better. So below is the answer to the question of how to make a flower bed out of a tire quickly.
1. Choosing a tire, of course, if there is a choice. The recommendations are simple. We choose the lightest and with the maximum tread wear - this will greatly facilitate the subsequent eversion.
2. Preparing the tire... If the tire is heavily contaminated with sand and earth, we clean it. Saws on dirty tires dull faster.
3. We mark with a felt-tip pen where you cut, such as petals. It is convenient to use ready-made sector markings on some domestic tires. The petals should not be more than 12-15 centimeters, otherwise the flower bed will not turn out to be round, in these places the rubber will not bend.
4. Cut through in the place of the cut with a knife, a tire for entering a jigsaw.
5. We fix the file in a jigsaw. As mentioned above, the jigsaw for cutting must be taken to the maximum available power. When cutting, I used various files. They all work in approximately the same way. It is convenient to cut with a file for curly sawing, but when sawing errors they often break. Clamp the file, insert it into the cut and start sawing.
6.Sawing, in places of thickening of rubber, feeding is very difficult, to speed up the work, you can round off the petal in the thin part of the side surface of the tire. When approaching the base of the petal, it is necessary to cut before bending, or better before reaching the tread plane - this will facilitate eversion. Having cut one petal, you can rearrange the jigsaw for sawing in the opposite direction, or if you have a curly file, you can also make a rounding at the base of the petal. So sequentially cut out all the petals according to the marking.
7. We cut out the opposite side, you can also cut out the petals or, by reducing your work, cut off part of the side wall and make radial cuts on the remaining part of the side surface. Important, cuts to the tread from the side of the petals must correspond to the cuts on the reverse side, if this is not observed, then when turning in these places there will be an unevenness. Experience has shown that even a very hard tire can be turned out if you completely cut off the side wall of the tire opposite the petals.
It is always pleasant to make something beautiful and useful out of a junk thing. Illustrative example such creativity - beautiful flower beds from tires. It is not difficult to build them, but the benefits from them are enormous. But the fantasy of the summer cottages is not limited to this either. From old wheels, which are often just lying on the road and polluting the environment, they make outdoor 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, as if specially created so that every summer resident could feel like a real artist and decorate his site with real designer flower beds and original author's sculptures. You can cut from tires, without exaggeration, anything. Such crafts are on a par with those made from plastic bottles all year round will delight the eyes of the owners and guests of the cottage, and most importantly, they will not require special financial investments.
It is also nice that the idea of making DIY crafts from tires is twofold: on the one hand, we dispose of a wheel that polluted the environment, and on the other, we get an original garden decoration or a flower bed.
Crafts from rubber used tires amaze with the variety and how rich the imagination of their authors is. Here are the most common ones:
In the photo - flower beds made of tires Small flower bed for flowers. The easiest way to make flower beds from tires is to leave the tire as it is, just paint it brightly and fill it with earth. Nothing complicated. Even a weak woman or child can cope with this, and such a flower garden will look great.
This photo shows cups made from old wheels. Flower beds made of old tires in the form of various objects. Making 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. The huge rubber tire cup looks very funny. And some craftsmen, thus, 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's easier to list what is not made of this available 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 from several tires. The simplest in execution is three-tiered, but the number of parts may be more. Several tires of the same or different sizes are stacked on top of each other or in a checkerboard pattern. A well made of tires looks spectacular, 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.
Beds of strawberry tires A flower bed for strawberries made of 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 with them into cultural zones. It is worth mentioning that a well made of tires is often made not only decorative, but they mask a drainage pit or septic tank with it.
Experienced craftsmen and the craftswomen know many secrets that help them create garden sculptures and do-it-yourself tire beds. They understand best of all how to make unique and inimitable author's crafts out of old rubbish no one needs. Here are just a few of these secrets:
It is better to paint a flower bed from a tire not only from the outside, but also from the inside. This will make them look more aesthetically pleasing, and the black rubber will not show through from the inside.
Of course, each master has his own secrets, and it is unrealistic to list them all. And when you take up this fascinating business - tire sculpture, they will certainly appear with you.
As mentioned above, tire crafts are diverse. Their appearance and the purpose is limited only by the imagination of the master. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the basic models. After familiarizing yourself with 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, unlike other and useful garden accessories yourself.
A small flower bed, made like a chamomile from one tire, is the simplest basic model. You can make several such flower beds, arrange them hardly and decorate the approach to the house. They are sometimes placed on paved or tiled areas.
We need:
Mark the place of the cut with a marker. We will cut the tire along them, from thickening to thickening.
Before cutting the tires, make sure there are no metal cords in them that could ruin the knife. They are usually inserted into truck tires.
We cut the tire around the entire circumference with straight zigzag petals of any shape of your choice (triangular, oval, semicircular).
We turn the tire over and work with it reverse side... Leading the knife along the thickening, cut out a circle from the back of the tire.
Then, along the entire circumference inside the tire, approximately every 20-25 cm, we make transverse cuts from the cut edge to the bend (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 in a short time, you can make a beautiful garden vase.
These flowerpots look best in a pair in front of the house, on opposite sides of the door or porch. Consider step by step a master class on their manufacture.
We need:
With chalk or a marker, mark a zigzag line along the entire front circumference of the tire, along which we will begin to cut. Thanks to her, the flowerpot will look like a large flower with many petals.
We cut the tire along the marked line with a sharp knife. To facilitate the process, the knife is periodically dipped in machine oil (used oil is also suitable).
After the wheel is cut, we check if the cut sections are not left until the end, and proceed to turning it inside out. It is better to do this together with an assistant, slowly, in parts.
After we managed to unscrew the tire for future flower beds, it turned out that there is a camera in the wheel. It must be cut and thrown away.
The pot is ready. His bowl was made 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 as an additional support.
We just have to clean, degrease and decide how beautifully to paint our new garden vase. When you put the earth in the bowl, 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 instructions for making a flowerpot:
The most popular tire garden sculptures are swans. They are usually placed near an artificial pond, which gives the site a stunning look. You can plant grass in the bird itself, then you get the impression that it looks out from behind the vegetation. Detailed information will help to make it. step-by-step instruction with photo.
We need:
According to the scheme, we mark on the tire surface the contours of the future swan according to the following video, in which the author uses dimensions in inches, calling them in the international measurement system - inc. Inch (1inch) = 2.54cm.
How beautiful and neat our sculpture will turn out depends on the accuracy of the marking.
Let's start cutting. At the initial section, we drill 3-4 holes at a distance of 3-5 cm with a drill and cut the tire between them with a knife. Insert a jigsaw into the resulting cut and begin to cut the swan.
After all the contours have been cut out, turn the tire out. We try to do this carefully, because careless movements in the thinnest places can tear it.
To make the bird's figure look more neat, smooth all the sections along the contour with a grinder.
To shape the swan's neck, insert a wire into it. To do this, drill holes in the center of the neck and to the end of the body every 20 cm. We put the wire and fix it in the holes with soft staples.
We shape the head. We make longitudinal cuts and holes, as shown in the photo and using the same wire or plastic clamps we give the swan's head a shape.
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. Make the beak red. Swans look very nice in a pair: black and white.
Soft rubber swans won't stand without a stand. As it, you can simply take any tire and paint it, for example, blue. Thus, it will symbolize the pond. And you can not be lazy and make it curly.
We make a curly stand in the same way. We mark on the tire the contour along which we will cut, cut the tire along it, turn it out and paint.
In a similar technique, you can make any figures from tires: animals, birds, fairy-tale creatures.
But, if you don't want to mess around with complex markings and cutting, you can do it even easier. For example, collect a cute frog from whole tires.
In the photo - a flower bed in the form of a frog A tire frog is very simple to do. From one or more tires, the body and head are assembled, from small wheels, for example from a baby carriage, eyes, and from rubber scraps of feet.
A decoration that is easier to do 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 cute, neat and will never be superfluous.
We need:
All tires, having previously designated the places of the cuts, are cut in half. Find out if the rubber contains metal cords before cutting. The knife will not take them, so use a grinder.
To give the future flower bed aesthetics, you can paint the tires. It is better to do this in advance, immediately after cutting.
Watching tire decorations in other people's front gardens, people often sigh with envy. It is believed that not everyone can make a flower bed out of tires with their own hands. But the work of the master is afraid, and it is worth trying to decorate a summer cottage or a flower garden at the entrance on your own. Here are some ideas and instructions for implementing them.
People increasingly prefer tires when decorating flower beds because:
The simplest flowerbeds of tires are obtained with ordinary tire dyeing.
Having decided on the appearance of the future flower bed, prepare everything you need for decoration:
Creative design of flower beds made of tires is a simple art
Before decorating the flower bed, you may have to cut it. People with strong hands can cut the side of the tire with an ordinary knife, after having lubricated the blade with grease. The knives get stuck in the rubber and the grease makes them easy to remove. The most convenient way is to use a jigsaw or a grinder. Since the work of the grinder on rubber may be accompanied by unpleasant odor, experts recommend making one cut with this tool, and then act with a jigsaw. Only a grinder can handle the protector.
Do not forget about safety precautions. The tire must be securely fastened so that the cutting tool does not break off.
Some design options for flower beds require the tire to be turned out. It is rarely possible to do this on your own; it is better to call an assistant in advance. The tires must be turned out correctly as follows:
To turn the tire yourself out, you can step on it
Decorating tire beds is most often accompanied by painting. It should be done correctly:
It is better to choose light colors so that the plants in the flowerbed do not overheat. A dark surface attracts the sun's rays. You can use bright shades, but always in harmony with the flower color.

We are now completing the construction of summer cottages and the design of the site is of great interest to the whole family. I especially liked the three-tier flower beds - small flowers like garden violets or marigolds will look good in them. We plan to plant primrose or petunias on the lower tier.
With imagination, you can come up with several variations for each type of flower bed. Try to make your site original and get ready for the visits of curious neighbors.
Modern landscape design is characterized by original and bold decisions... These include original flower beds hand-made from tires that look very attractive and do not take up much space. The desire to decorate your site, create interesting flower arrangements is quite natural, and the unique installation is also a source of pride for the creator.
You don't have to be a top-class professional to create tire beds. First, they determine the location of the future composition and make a sketch of the structure. On small area it is appropriate to arrange a single form in the form of a cute frog, a graceful swan, a fabulous carriage or a bright parrot, as in the photographs of the flower beds below.
Larger installations are required for a spacious lawn. For example, multi-tiered flower beds from car tires or vertical volumetric structures, as in the following photos.
Flower beds can be of various shapes:
After deciding on the location and shape, prepare materials and tools. For work, in addition to tires, a sharp knife and paint may come in handy:
When everything is ready, you can get to work.
The simplest is the shape of the flower. The higher the tire, the larger it will be. Before you make a flower bed out of a tire, you need to choose a tire. It is better to take a used imported product with softer and thinner "winter" rubber. It's easier to work with her. The tire is first cleaned, washed and dried. Then the lines of future petals are applied in a contrasting color, the upper part is cut out and taken out, as in the photo of the flower beds placed below.
For further decoration, use enamel, oil or nitro paint. On a clean, dry rubber surface, they spread evenly and last for a long time. You can also use car paint or spray cans to paint your tire flower bed. It is better to choose a color of light shades so that the roots of future plants do not overheat. The construction of pure white tires looks very elegant.
Or multi-tiered flower bed from tires, decorated with light stones of different sizes.
The combination of different colors looks interesting.
Or, conversely, a monochromatic composition.
When painting tires, you need to grip the upper part of the surface from the inside a little to give a more aesthetic look.
Before staining, you need to carefully consider how it will look from tires with blossoming plants. If the flowers are supposed to be bright and contrasting, then the tire should be monotonously modest. And, conversely, with an intricate flower bed, flowers are planted small, low.
The flowerpot will look interesting when the color of the plants resonates with the shades of the container. If you wish, you can glue oval-shaped glass aquarium stones to the flowerbed in the form of a flower - they will create the illusion of dew.
This installation will require several tires of different or identical diameters. The middle is cut out of them to make rings and the structure is assembled:
An ordinary tire painted white can be a real masterpiece. For a swan figurine, the inner part is not cut out of it so that its weight can keep its shape.
30-40 mm recede from the edge of the tread and two rounded cuts are made parallel to the circumference on opposite sides for two-thirds of the entire surface. The narrow middle part will make the neck, and the wide lateral ones will make the wings. The middle part is cut off on one side and a head is formed at its end. Then the tire is turned inside out and the wings appear. They are modified with cuts of various lengths, imitating feathers. The wings can be bent as you like - the angle of inclination can be any. It remains only to paint the bird white, let it dry and you can plant flowers, for example, forget-me-nots.
