At the same time carpet linings can be painted in the tone of the overall concept of exterior design. You can make the stairs safe by removing removable mats from large tires. In addition to anti-skid, they will hold the dirt, not letting it into the room.

The most common products from old tires are flower beds. The complexity of the design depends on the ability to work with rubber, and most importantly - its cutting. Simple options do not need it: the tire is cleaned of dirt, sand, dust, then painted in different colors. When a multi-tiered flower bed is needed, the tires are placed one inside the other, while the lower tire is sometimes fixed by means of the soil.

Decorative well create on the basis of a multi-tiered flower beds. It will need tires, wooden supports with a cross section of 5-10 cm, parallel bars, roofing boards or slate. You can use the material at hand. In addition, you will need paint, through which you can give the well an imitation of brick or stone masonry, reptile skin or turtle shell.

In a simple method of manufacture, they determine the place, make holes in all tires for support. Then the lower tire is deepened 10 cm into the soil, and the support bars with the desired cross-section are inserted into the holes. Following them put on two other tires. They build a well, in the center under the roof make a hook for pots. It remains to paint the design, cover the ground, plant flowers.

If you want to create the effect of a flower garden, the same tires are interconnected by identical tires. To do this, one tire is placed perpendicular to the ground, cutting it in one place and pushing 2 other tires into it. After this, the incision is fastened with a wire clip, solid tires are placed horizontally on the ground and covered with earth, and the split part is partially instilled into the ground in the form of a semicircle connecting 2 solid tires.

To make such a product will not be difficult. In this case, do not have to cut the tire. The main difficulty will be to trim the glass sheet of the desired diameter, which will require a glass cutter. Bottom to strengthen the table of the domestic bus need plywood, which will be screwed to the metal stable legs. To give an aesthetic look to such a table can be painted using shade of gold or bronze.

Such a product to make under the force for whom cutting rubber is easy. From inside the tire is painted with resistant gold paint and allowed to dry. On the bus create the desired pattern.

For such a product, in addition to a tire, you will have to pick up a snag that looks like chicken legs, as well as a round piece of plywood. In this case, the support should be stable, and the tire is better to take a rounded with a minimum tread. Next, draw the markup on the tire with wavy lines. Partially cut, in front cut a wedge for the neck and head.

The back of the turn inside out, then cut into "feathers". After that, they erase dust from the surface, if necessary, wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry. After that, the workpiece is glued or fastened with screws to the plywood, and then - to the snag. It remains to install a smaller tire inwards, having previously cut it on one side with a wavy line, and, removing the excess, making the bottom. Inside the soil is poured for flowers.

Initially, the tire is pasted over with a cloth, then a plywood in the shape of a circle is screwed to one of the sides of a rigid domestic tire, and then the legs are attached to the screws. A second round of plywood is screwed to the second side.
