Making a ottoman

You can easily decorate the yard with ottomans - beautiful and functional. To do this, follow the instructions below:

• Using a jigsaw, we cut out two round billets from an MDF sheet, which will cover the tire from above and below.
• Using five screws, we fix on the upper side of the tire.
• The bottom plate is also attached to the bottom of the tire.
• On the bottom plate with glue we fasten the rope for decoration. Glue it in a circle, from the edge to the center. When the circle of rope is applied, you need to wait for the glue to dry.
• Next, we wrap the entire tire with a rope.

Important! Make sure that there is no excess glue. Ideally, if the decoration of the tire will be performed together - it is easier to monitor the gaps.

• Apply a clear varnish. It will need a lot, since it will require careful processing of all the gaps.

Important! If you want, you can build an interesting design out of car tires - a multi-tier flowerbed is being built.

More complicated will be the equipment of the hedge flower garden. To create it, you need tires with different diameters:

1. We dig in tires of a large diameter a little into the ground.
2. In the details of a smaller diameter, we make a cross section.
3. We carry out a peculiar chain: we connect large parts to smaller ones, the incision in which is then fastened with brackets or metal wire.
4. We fill the ground, plant the plants.

To make a tulip flowerbed:

1. We take a tire with a disk:
2. We retreat 1 cm from the disk and apply a picture in the form of petals.
3. We cut the tire along the entire length along the contour.
4. Next, we disconnect the parts of the workpiece, while turning the tire. As a result, we get a bowl on a rack, the role of which will be played by a car drive.
5. We paint a flowerpot in the necessary color, apply patterns.
6. We plant flowers.

We make a garden path

To make the plot neat, it can be equipped with beautiful paths. It is better to use tires from trucks, as working with them will be easier.

Important! When arranging a track, only tire protectors are used.

How is the work done:

• We determine the location for the location of the track and select the material.
• Using a sharp knife, we separate the tread from the side.

Important! In order to make the cutting easier, it is necessary to periodically apply a soap solution to the knife.

• Cut the tread that looks like a ring, cut across so as to get a strip.
• Similarly, we prepare the remaining strips for the track.
• Tapes with nails to a bar or boards.

Important! When fixing the strips, leave an indent of 10-20 mm between them. After some time, grass will grow in this gap and the ribbons will not move.

• Before laying the tracks, thoroughly moisten the soil.
• We carefully squeeze the bar with rubber bands into the ground so that the surface as a result turns out to be smooth, without drops.
