For a very long time, flower beds for summer cottages made of car tires have been the fastest and easiest way to decorate a site. Although now the use of such a decor seems to many to be somewhat banal.

Draw location schemes, carefully considering what types of flowers this or that flower bed will be intended for. To create any, even the most complex structure with your own hands, step-by-step instructions will always help.

These flower beds can be either single, scattered over the site, or representing a composition.

• The easiest and fastest option is to simply take the tires, wash, cover the soil and plant flowers there. Plants are beautiful in themselves, so when flowering begins, all attention will be focused on them, and not on the containers in which the flowers are located.

• You can paint the wheels in one color or different. Since these are summer decorations, the colors can be rich and bright. But there are options here too. It all depends on the idea. For example, in a red flower bed you can plant carnations of the same color, in a blue one - the same shade of cornflowers, and so on. But you can, on the contrary, play in contrast. In the red flower bed there will be yellow flowers, in the blue one - white.

• To create a composition, you will have to use several tires. Then in the middle there will be one of them, and around it - five or six. You will get such a large flower that combines a variety of colors, which ones depend on the plants planted.

• The flower is created in another way. The tires are cut in half. Then the halves are stacked in a circle. It turns out a flower bed, in which any flowers are placed in the required order.

• Another option is to make a pyramid flower bed that looks very impressive. To do this, the tires are pre-painted, then three are set in a row, leaving a little space between them. Then two more are put on top, each of them should be located between the two lower ones. Then on these two they put another one in the middle. The number of tires can be more. When this whole structure begins to bloom, the spectacle is spectacular.

• You can make a beautiful flower bed that matches the overall design of the site, using the tire only as a shape. Further, it is processed with a dense layer of cement, and small or large pebbles are planted on this base - it can also be shells, pieces of tiles, broken bricks. The result is a very beautiful flower bed.

Usually, suspended tire beds are placed on fences, so any hedge can look very attractive. Attach such structures to strong hooks or ropes. Earth is poured into the lower part of the tire and flowers are planted.

Tires can be painted in any color.

If you plant climbing plants, the design will look very attractive.

Another option is to cut the tire in half and hang semicircular structures with flowers on ropes or chains.

From old tires in a summer cottage, you can make not only flower beds, but also a wide variety of crafts for landscape design, and accessories for the garden.

So, we make paths for the garden. The master class will help everyone to cope with this easily. The job description will look like this:

• you need to take a tire, cut off the top with a knife in a circle;

• then saw into fragments with a jigsaw;

• lay them between the beds.

The advantage of such paths in the garden is obvious. Their presence allows you to comfortably move around the site. Weeds will not break through them. The garden looks cleaner and tidier.

You can diversify the design of the tracks by laying them in different ways. The use of tires in this case suggests different options. It can be long strips, short squares, can be laid in the form of a wicker surface. It all depends on the planned width and length of the intended track. By the way, no one bothers to make a coating with a painting. Then you will get original beautiful paths that will enliven the landscape.

Many craftsmen with a creative approach have learned to make all kinds of garden figures from tires. Such decor looks just as good, when skillfully created, than decorations from a garden store.

Almost any animal or fairy-tale character can be made of tires, you just have to show your imagination a little.

• To make a frog, it is enough to paint three tires green, put two side by side, and put the third one on top between them. Next, you should attach expressive eyes from any available materials to the upper bus and draw a mouth on the upper bus. The feet can also be cut from any material (e.g. wood, styrofoam) and attached to the lower rails.

• You can make a very funny teapot out of tires, which will cheer you up every time. To do this, three tires need to be painted, painted (you can use polka dots or flowers). It is good if the tires are of different sizes. You can plant flowers in such a kettle, then it will truly decorate the site. The spout and handle are easily constructed from tire scraps or any other material.

• Any toy can be made in several ways. For example, a turtle may appear on the site. And for this you need to take a tire, lay out the shell on top, using pieces of tires for this, the edges of which will overlap each other. The legs and head are also made from pieces of wheels, it remains only to decorate the structure and draw the eyes and mouth.

• Making the ladybug even easier. To do this, it is enough to paint the tire red, draw rounds over the entire surface. Add eyes, nose and mouth in front. Flowers can also be planted in such a structure.

This, of course, does not end the list of crafts. Swans, elephants, hippos, hares, bears, nesting dolls, octopuses - whoever you can meet at the summer cottage of the craftsmen! These can be entire families - several turtles, ladybirds. Even fabulous towns can be created if space permits.

Outdoor tire furniture can not only decorate the site, but also serve as a cozy corner for tea or feasts. Consider the simplest way to create a garden dining area.

• We put two tires on top of each other and connect together. Then we attach a circle cut from chipboard on top. So the stool is ready. There are four of them.

• For the table, we take three tires and also connect to each other. The circle should already be larger to get a table with a round lid.

• We decorate the kit at our discretion.

This is the fastest option and is suitable for beginners. But in fact, if you spend more time, you can make very interesting options that will look no worse than wicker furniture.

Using rope and fabric, you can make cute ottomans for relaxing in the garden or even on a closed veranda.

In the first case, you need to take a couple of tires, if the ottoman is low, you can even get by with one. Next, the top hole is closed with a plywood circle. Then the entire tire is carefully wrapped with a rope, fastening with a glue gun during work, so that the whole structure holds well. The rope must be wound tightly. Then you get very stylish ottomans.

There is also another option. Two tires are also taken, fastened together. A solid circle of wood is fixed on top. Further, the structure must be sheathed with foam rubber. You can make several layers to make the chair softer. At the last stage, the ottoman is upholstered with fabric. Any old thing will do for this purpose. You don't have to buy new fabric.

If such ottomans appear on the site, it will definitely surprise guests, and garden furniture will take its rightful place in the recreation area. By the way, if you want to protect such furniture from rain, you can cover it with a waterproof fabric, for example, a raincoat.

To understand exactly how a particular toy or flowerbed is made, sometimes you don't even need a step-by-step master class. You just need to look at a photo to figure out how to do it, and maybe even refine it as you see fit.

• This is how bright and fun stools can look like, and, of course, such options will delight children. It is not difficult to make them, but a place will appear in the garden where you can relax.

• It is enough to show more imagination and devote time - and now almost upholstered furniture is ready. It is very convenient to relax in such garden chairs, and they look quite stylish.
