Making a swan from an old tire: a master class

Many car owners are left with unnecessary old tires. They will not be able to apply them for their intended purpose, however, it is quite possible to make the original decoration of the front garden, playground or flowerbed in the kindergarten. This publication will tell the reader how the swan is made from an old tire.

The resulting work can be used not only as an ornament, but also as a beautiful flower bed. There are many methods for producing it, but they are all divided into two groups: with or without a tire. We will consider the first option.

To get a swan from an old tire, you need:

  • Old car tire. Please note that it must be worn out, with a worn out layer of rubber and without metal inserts. The fact is that from such a material making a swan from an old tire will be the most effective.
  • Strong wire. It is useful for fixing the neck of the future bird in a level position, so that the swan looks proud and slender. Otherwise, the rubber will hang out and spoil the whole look.
  • Screws (several pieces).
  • Chalk (for marking).
  • Drill and drill 3-4 mm.
  • Electric jigsaw or sharp sharp knife.
  • Bulgarian.
  • A paint of white and red shades.

Making a swan from an old tire: step by step instruction

  1. We divide the surface of the tire by chalk into two parts in width.
  2. We note the sharp shape of the beak in the form of the letter V and draw from it exactly two parallel lines from one horizontal marking to the other. So the neck of the swan is created.
  3. We make cutouts with electric jigs on the lines. If there is no such tool, a strong sharp knife will fit, which, when used, should often be soaked in soapy water, so the work is simplified.
  4. This stage is the most time consuming, because it is very difficult to turn the tire inside out. You can do it yourself: step on one side of the wing of a swan, and turn the other. If it's too difficult, ask for help from a friend.
  5. We bend out of the wire a shape that will fix the neck of the swan. It should be 20-30 cm longer than the neck itself to go into the tire.
  6. We make holes in the tire with a drill (pair) and fix the wire.
  7. After cuts, the edges are uneven. To correct this defect, you will have to work with the Bulgarian.
  8. Now we paint the whole tire in white (silver, black, bronze) color, and the beak - in red.
  9. In order to make the bird more believable, you can make her eyes with two small pieces of rubber, fixed with screws. Making a swan from an old tire is complete!

It will be nice to look a masterpiece if you create for it something like a pedestal from the same tire, in which you can plant flowers. If you want to make more original wings, then you will have to work hard: cut a lot of feathers from plastic bottles, repaint them white and form a wing, fixing the feathers to the metal grill on both sides. Make two wings, attach them to the tire.

Making swans from old tires is a very interesting creative process, as a result of which unusual decorative elements appear!
