The most beautiful flower bed
Ordinary flowerbeds of tires came up for a long time. What could be easier: he dug half the old tire into the ground, dyed it, poured it into the ground, planted flowers-beauty! But this is too trivial, because you can come up with and implement such ideas that the most creative designer envies. Of course, the question may arise: "Why not buy ready-made flower beds, pots or pots?". Yes, because only of the tires you can make yourself the only one of its kind flowerbed, which no one else will have.
What to do if the usual flower bed of tires is no longer relevant? Yes, everything is simple - it is enough to show imagination and cut out of the old tires a single figure, or even a multi-tiered flower bed. Of course, such a product will need to be beautifully decorated, then it will be a real masterpiece and decoration for a small lawn, and for a large playground or terrace. What can be cheaper - old tires do not cost anything, but they give a lot of space for any idea, they can be used completely, completely without waste.
what is necessary
When choosing the shape and design of the flowerbed, you should think carefully about its location - it should harmoniously fit into the general appearance of the garden or plot. Also it must be remembered that no matter how elaborate the composition is, it is obliged to fulfill its immediate purpose: to be a flower bed. Too convoluted forms can make the vault unstable and fragile, from which it will be absolutely impractical.
So, to build a flowerpot or a bed of tires, you'll need old used tires of different diameters. If you do not have them, you can take them from a friend of an avid motorist, or in a workshop for tire fitting. The simplest in the treatment are tires with a strongly rubbed tread, they are lighter in weight and softer. It should be noted that it is much easier to work with imported worn tires, their tires are more delicate and soft. If you have an old tire with a disc - that's fine. After the manipulations, such a product will become a real floristic flower pot. To work on tires, you will need a Bulgarian or electric jigsaw. You can use a sharp knife, but it's very difficult for them to cut thick rubber. To facilitate the process and better slip, it is possible to wet the knife in soapy water or liquid soap. If the tires are dirty, they need to be cleaned or washed, when working on a dirty surface, saw blades or a knife are dulled instantly.
Technology of flowerbed manufacturing: we carry out step by step
the first step: mark and cut
Before you make a flower bed out of a tire, you need to decide what will be the edge. It can be a vase with even edges, a bowl with a wavy or dentate cut line. Also, the flower bed is in the form of a large flower with petals cut out along the contour or fringe. The selected pattern of the future edge is applied to the side of the tire with chalk. Here it should be guided by the fact that after cutting, there should be two parts: a large deep lower part and a small upper, like a lid on a saucepan. At the same time, the disk naturally remains in its place, it does not need to be extracted from the bus. What you will cut is not important, but when cutting with a knife you will have to spend more effort and time. The easiest and quickest thing to do is to use a jigsaw. In principle, such work is possible both for men and women. But the further work will not be so easy - the tire needs to be turned out.
the second step: we turn out
To give the tire a form of the flowerpot, the lower deep part must be turned inside out. This is where you need some skill and real physical strength. It is necessary to turn the tire cut by a part downwards, step on the middle with a foot and pull over the cut edge. The most important thing is to unscrew the first section, then it will go faster.
All your efforts will be repaid a hundredfold - after turning out you get a very original and interesting product resembling a glass or a vase on the leg, if there is a disk inside.
Now it's up to you how to install such a flower bed, if it just stays on the ground unattached, then you'll dig it up a bit for better stability. From the tire without a disk, you also get a very interesting beautiful flowerbed. A smaller ring, if a tire with a disc is used, remains on the disc as a stand. If it's just a tire, then from the top smaller part you can make a frame for a mini flower bed.
the third step: decorate
Before applying the paint, the tire should be thoroughly rinsed and degreased with rubber. To do this, it is washed with an alkaline solution, or simply with soap and dried well. You can decorate such a flower bed in any color or different colors, as well as drawings as you wish. The only thing to consider is that white color will get dirty quickly, and dark tones will look too gloomy. In this case, the main thing is your design fiction and a variety of creative ideas!
For painting rubber products, oil paint is best suited, it will last longer without cracking or burning out in the sun. You can always apply the remains of any paint, including automotive in an aerosol can (if any is available). It is desirable to paint the tire not only from the outside, but also to grasp the inside part a little to give a more noble and beautiful appearance. Although, everything depends on planted plants. It is possible that the entire inner and outer pattern will be completely covered by overgrown hanging flowers. So you have to admire your flowerbed only in winter. Advice! If the "petals" of the flowerbed are glued with glass pebbles, you can create a beautiful and believable illusion of droplets of dew.
Such beautiful and design-attractive flowerbeds and flower beds of tires will last for a long time and will be a magnificent decoration of the territory in front of the house, a summer terrace or paths leading to the garden. All that remains is to fill the tanks with the necessary soil and plant your favorite flowers.
technology of making swan beds
In fact, crafts made of old tires for the garden can be built a great many - it would be only a desire and imagination. It looks very beautiful, for example, a flowerbed made in the shape of a swan. To perform such a flower bed will take more time and skill. The marking of the future bird should be performed on the planned lines shown in the figure (top photo).
- On black lines, the head and neck are cut. On red - do notches for the tail. In blue - for the wings. If desired, you can additionally cut each part of the wings additionally.
- Turn off the cover. This is difficult to do, but it is possible.
- You need to make a beak. For this, any material can be used: plywood, plastic, rubber. The beak is painted in red.
- Now you should put together (not without effort) two cut halves of the head of a swan. Between them in the right place is inserted a beak. The halves are fixed on both sides with screws on the tree. They are screwed in the places where the eyes should be located.
- The head should be raised and slightly pressed inwards. At the same time, a realistic wrinkle is formed in the base. You also need to fix the crease with screws. The harder and denser the self-tapping screws are, the better the head will hold.
- Next, the rubber is washed, degreased and painted. At places, glue mugs cut from a black insulating tape, or simply bring a black paint.
- A swan-shaped flower bed is ready. You can pour the earth and plant flowers.
It should be noted that there are several different forms and configurations of such flowerbeds, it is only necessary to show your imagination and you will have your own unique swan!
A variety of bold ideas
Not only from the tires, craftsmen can perform beautiful design forms: very often bottles are used, both plastic and glass. There really is, where the fantasy will unfold. And if from the glass bottles the flower bed can only be beautifully laid out or the fence applied, then from any flexible soft plastic it is possible to cut out any shapes.
By the way, even here old tires will be in demand - under a bed of glass bottles a dense and stable base will be needed. It is best to take a large tire, or several tires, since the size of the base depends on the shape of the future glass flower bed. Typically, the bottles are stacked on top of each other in staggered order, this design is the most reliable.
From plastic bottles you can build a flower bed or flower bed, or you can simply make a fence for flowers. From a bottle of large volume, you can make a separate mini flowerbed.
PET bottles are good in that there is no need to paint them, you can simply pick up the necessary colors and get the right design or product. Plastic is durable and durable - the embodied idea will please you for a long time.
