A shark made of tires. Instagram / mellowbyulOne man's trash truly is another man's treasure.
Korean artist Yong Ho Ji uses old tires to create incredible sculptures of various creatures, including lions, sharks, and animal/human hybrids.
He earned his bachelor's in sculpture from Hongik University in Seoul in 2005, and his master's in fine arts from New York University in 2008.

Over 1 billion tires are manufactured annually, made of synthetic rubber, natural rubber, carbon black, polyester fabric, and steel wire. Tires stay in the environment a long time. Green-thinking artists are doing something with them.

Wrench II By (the very talented) Chakaia Booker, 2001.
Robert Rauschenberg (American, 1925-2008). Monogram, 1955-59. Angora goat, tire, tennis ball. 42 x 63 x 64 in. Moderna Museet, Stockholm. © Robert Rauschenberg / Adagp, Paris, 2006
Today a typical tire consists of about 28 percent natural rubber, 28 percent synthetic rubber (made from oil), and 28 percent carbon black filler—a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products. Anywhere from 15 to 38 liters of oil is used to make a standard tire. The remaining 16 percent of the tire is composed of different functional agents such as Softeners (hydrocarbon oil, resins), Antidegradants (para-phenylenediamine, paraffin), Curatives (sulfur, sulfemamides) and Activators (zinc oxide, stearic acid).
(1) If tires burn, it is an extremely toxic coctail, both for the atmosphere and nearby groundwater. Hopefully, the future holds promise, as manufacturers are now testing more sustainable ingredients.
The use of scrap tire chips for landscaping has become controversial, due to the leaching of metals and other contaminants from the tire pieces. Tires can concentrate (up to 2% by weight) zinc to levels high enough to be extremely toxic to aquatic life and plants. (2,3)
Michael Reynolds, who has been constructing Earthship Homes for 35 years using rammed earth tires, said he has never had one complaint of offgassing. Most likely because the tires are plastered and protected from the elements. It is believed a large percentage of the offgassing happens when the tire is new. earthship.com

I am happy to pick up the theme of using old tires, which I started in an interesting collection Lamp, subwoofer, steps: what else can be made from tires.
If a tire wears out, the driver must replace it. It is natural. But what happens to old tires? You can give them for recycling, or use them as a creative material and create from them those works of art that your imagination and skillful hands are capable of. nine0003
What can be made from car tires? Furniture in the gazebo, flower bed, figurines in the garden? Oh, not only! You can make amazing and very realistic animal sculptures, such as the one made by the talented Master - Ji Yongho, meet me!
South Korean sculptor Ji Yongho uses old tires to make statues. Using cutters, glue and thermal bonding, he creates amazing animals from tires: sharks, hyenas, horses, spiders and more. The relief surface of tires with spikes and grooves, depicting wool, feathers and scales, looks unusually impressive. nine0003
One sculpture takes up to 200 tires, using a variety of tires - from tractor to bicycle. Ji Yongho says that the main idea behind his sculptures is change.
“Rubber was first the white sap of a tropical tree, then it became a black mass, a car tire, traveled tens of thousands of kilometers on the roads, and now it has found a new birth.”
Another series of amazing animal sculptures made from non-standard materials from another talented sculptor, meet us! nine0003
Ptolemy Elrington is the author of many tire sculptures of birds, deer and other animals. His sculptures are distinguished by elegance and rigor of lines.
A sculptor from the UK uses the most familiar materials for creating his creations. At the same time, the sculptures are very impressive, and in each one can find a hidden meaning.
Much of Ptolemy Elrington's work is made from car rims and parts for supermarket trolleys. Although, sometimes, there are more original materials. For example, a telephone cable and telephone sets themselves. nine0003
Mr. Elrington's work is in high demand.
What is the high cost of work. It would seem, where can he get so many discs? He does not buy them, but finds them on the road, receives gifts from acquaintances and strangers, and then creates his masterpieces.

What does garden and garden mean to us? First of all, it is a piece of land that requires constant cultivation, weeding and watering.
Land that is taken care of always pleases its owners with a bountiful harvest. But how sometimes you want to take a break from all this fuss, sitting down with your favorite book in a cozy corner of the same garden. And everyone arranges such a place for recreation in their own way. Someone plants flowers, someone equips alpine slides and gazebos, but someone makes decorative figures for the garden with their own hands and receives a lot of positive emotions. A floral and sculptural ensemble of old car tires is a line of landscape design. nine0003
DIY figurines for the garden. How to make a fairy tale come true?
Decorative sculptures can be made from the simplest materials: old car tires, Styrofoam, plastic bottles. Even shoes and obsolete bowls and pots can be useful for creativity. Anyone can make figurines for the garden with their own hands, while receiving maximum pleasure and spending a minimum of money.
If you want to create a small floral and sculptural ensemble in your summer cottage or in the garden near the village house to surprise and please your loved ones, try using material such as car tires for this. Their disposal is not cheap, and with imagination and a small set of tools (a shoe knife, a jigsaw, a screwdriver), this almost eternal product can gain a second life.
Tires can be cut neat 9 out of 0143 rose flower beds ; by joining several processed tires and brightly coloring them, you can create a variety of original flowerpots - with flowers planted in them, they will look great framed by a path or add picturesqueness to a green carpet of a garden.
If you cut the tire lengthwise in a circle, and then turn the resulting "ribbons" and fix it with wire or screws, you can make, for example, a swan - with a gracefully curved neck, or a funny monkey merrily playing under a "tropical palm tree" suddenly grown in your garden - with a trunk trimmed with wooden rounds and elastic leaves - "ribbons" made of tires .
.. Turn on your imagination and create your own corner of nature, inhabited by flowers and ... fantastic creatures.
Read on the topic:
The time of standard-lying in the form of flower beds or dug into playgrounds, having served their time, tire covers has passed. Tires, thanks to the fantasies and efforts of the summer resident, have moved to a new, more beautiful level of existence and use of them.
It is not difficult to make flowerbeds from tires with your own hands. If you are not yet confident enough in your abilities to make flamingos and swans from tires, you can stop at round flowerpots or build an unusual border from tire flowerpots in the form of a large chain. To do this, it is enough to cut out the inner parts of the tires, lay the resulting flower beds, maintaining an equal distance between them, and dig empty tires vertically between them. The "chain links" are connected by means of transverse cuts in vertically mounted tires, the cut points are fastened with wire.
Paint the finished "chain" of tires with silver or a solution of bronze powder to make it more similar - the original border with flowers is ready! nine0003
Forms for flower beds: ready-made and man-made.
At present, a huge amount of materials and ready-made forms for ennobling and arranging dachas is provided to the services of the summer resident. In stores, summer residents buy only the most necessary, and for secondary issues they have enough of their own ingenuity and patience.
Garden paths built with his own hand, fences for flower beds, flower beds and flowerpots for them are not only beautiful, this is the pride of each summer resident. It is this approach in the arrangement that allows you to give the country design uniqueness and exclusivity. A huge variety of flower beds can be built from handy material. But when flowerbeds made of tires are made by hand, in an original carved shape, decorated in an interesting selection of colors, they are really impressive and decorate the territory very much.
It is especially pleasant that from an old tire you can admire the form for a flower bed for one hour already - this is how much time it takes to manually process one tire.
How to make a flower bed from tires with your own hands:
step by step guide
A simple technology that does not require special knowledge, hard work and special equipment in a short period of time will turn an ordinary old tire into an original vase for a flower bed, into a crown-crown (flower-rim) for decorating the outer ground border of a flower garden, and into many other bizarre forms. How are the flowerbeds of tires made by hand?
Step one : we select an old tire with a disk. The first step is to find a useless, old and bald car wheel. It is desirable that the wheel be with “winter” tires (it is easier to turn out than a wheel with summer tires) and from an imported car, because the rubber of imported tires is much thinner, softer, and therefore easier to process.
By the way, for a high-quality flower bed made of a tire made by oneself, a tire with a disk is needed, if it is not there, it’s not scary, the tire will still come in handy. A tire with a disk, after some manipulations, can serve as a full-fledged flower vase, where the disk will serve as the bottom, and a tire without a disk is useful only as a decorative rim for decorating the outline of the flower bed. nine0003
Second step : draw the cut line. In the second step, you need to put the tire on the ground and think about how to make a cut line. The essence of the cut is as follows: you need to cut off the upper part of the rubber of the tire so that the deep lower part and the upper (cut off) smaller part remain - something on the principle of "pot - lid". But it’s not worth cutting out with a simple straight line, it’s so uninteresting and not very beautiful in the end. You need to cut it so that the edge of the cut is uneven - wavy, serrated, fringed. Consider what edge your tire bed should have and draw a patterned line with chalk on the tire rubber around the entire circumference with your own hands.
nine0003
Step three : cut along the marked line. We cut it out without removing the tire from the disk, that is, we divide it into two parts along the marked line. Now the lower and deeper part that remains of the tire needs to be turned inside out - not an easy task, it will take physical strength and some skill: turn the deep part with the cut down, step on the edge with your foot and pull the edges (as if from under your foot). Having turned out at least one section, then the process will go easier and faster. It will turn out a very nice and original thing in the form of a glass or a vase on a leg. Place it flat on the ground. Really, is it beautiful? If you wish, you can put such a flower bed directly on the ground on a leg - a rather convenient and mobile thing, easy to use, or you can dig a leg into the ground, neither children, nor dogs, nor intoxicated guests will definitely turn over the stationary version. nine0003
The top cut part is also useful, it still looks good.
If you make 5-7 cuts across it from the side of the inner ring, with a depth of no more than 8-10 cm, and then dig in, deepening it into the ground with cuts, you get a chic outer frame for a flower bed. Plants that create a cushion of greenery are planted on do-it-yourself flowerbeds consisting of only one tier of tires . So you can grow creeping ground cover plants and ordinary nasturtiums. If several tires are installed one on top of the other, then, depending on their number and height, you can grow pelargonium in them with hanging stems and leaves, like ivy or cascading petunia. nine0003
After placing the tires on the site, crushed stone with sand is poured on the bottom of each, and only then fertile soil. Then they are watered so that there are no voids in the soil. Flowers and ornamental grasses are also planted between the tires.
Vertical landscaping also looks beautiful on the summer cottage. And you can make flower beds from tires with your own hands in the form of flowerpots with your own hands.
For this you need a tire with a rim. It is necessary to draw a line with chalk around the entire circumference of the tire, dividing it in height in a ratio of 1: 3. After cutting, the part with a higher height of the tire turns out onto the rim. So it turns out the bowl of the flowerpot. The bottom of the tire will serve as the base of the vase. Even an urban-style alpine slide can be made from tires. You just need to take tires of different sizes and be sure to use natural stone. nine0003
Decorating flower beds and flowerpots from tires
Now the equally exciting and significant moment has come - decorating a flower bed from a tire with your own hands. Agree, growing flowers in these black forms is not entirely aesthetically pleasing, although ... this is a matter of taste, some gardeners deliberately leave the rubber as it is, arguing that such rubber attracts more heat and light. But if you still decide to get rid of the blackness of rubber, paint these forms with ordinary oil or enamel paint, with several colors, at the ring - with one color, petals or cloves - with another.
You can also paint the petals in different colors, alternating the paint in the desired sequence. nine0003
Do not be afraid to experiment in decorating the shape, for example, glue colored aquarium glass pebbles on the petals of a flower bed made of tires, they will look like dew drops, though larger in size. You can come up with any decoration or decoration, everything will look original, unusual and exclusive. Now everything is ready, you can plant seeds, bulbs or seedlings of flowers inside the flower beds, or you can transplant already adult plants and enjoy their appearance. This is how, at a minimum of costs, you can get quite a chic thing for arranging a summer house or a country house. nine0003
DIY flowerpot is made from an old tire with a disk. It must be cut with a knife or a small grinder. Flowerpots from tires are distinguished by their original shape and the fact that the worn, unattractive tire tread is wrapped inside the tire, and its smooth inner part is turned out. Flowerpots made in this way look very attractive, and it’s not even immediately possible to understand what they are made of. Materials required to make flowerpots from tires: * car tires * cement * Sand * Camsons (gravel, gravel) * soap solution * Paint * primer Tool (main): * Electric linen * Plifting machine * Knife * trowel * container for preparing concrete (mortar) * brush with hard bristles * brushes for painting and painting flowerpots Technology for making flowerpots from tires: 1. Cut off the sidewalls of the tires: either just in a circle, or, which is much more original, figured. And the more original the cut configuration, the more beautiful the flowerpot will turn out. But in this case, you will have to work a little more. It is necessary to start such work by drawing cut lines on the sidewall of the tire, after which they begin to cut the rubber. Usually a sharp knife is used for this. And to make it easier to cut, the knife must often be moistened with soapy water. 2. The knife is suitable for simple straight cuts. To get a more complex cut pattern, you need an electric jigsaw. At the same time, it is also necessary to moisten the cutting line with soapy water, and also observe one trick - the cut should come as close as possible to the outer edge of the tire (preferably to the metal cord). 3. Turning the tire inside out is fairly easy. You can make the job of turning the tire even easier by cutting through a part of the steel cord with a manual angle grinder. 4. Having cut the sidewalls, we proceed to turn the tire inside out. We wrap the tire first in one place, and then around the entire circumference. This operation requires some effort and skill. Having turned the tire outward, we bring its curly edge to the desired condition with the help of a grinder. 5. If the tire that was not removed from the rim was turned out, then its lower part became the leg and support of the flowerpot, and the upper part became a container under the ground for planting flower seedlings. If the removed tire is cut off, then its separated parts are then mounted on the disk in the same way as when mounting the wheel. 6. To make flowerpots made of tires lose their resemblance to a car wheel, and the wheel disk does not rust, cover the flowerpot with a primer GF-021, and then paint it. The concrete base for the flowerpot of the tire on this could be stopped. But if you want to make your site even more beautiful, then install a flowerpot on a concrete base. This base can be covered with a stone mosaic. In order for the concrete mortar to adhere tightly to the disc, the latter must be wrapped with wire or plaster mesh, after which the mortar should be thrown onto the disc with a trowel. The mortar must be thick to avoid "slipping": * 1 part cement; * 3 parts of sand; * 0.5 water. Concreting of the base can be done before or after the flowerpot is in place. You can put a plastic film on the lid of the iron barrel (so that the cement does not stick to the iron) and install a flowerpot on it. After the mortar has hardened slightly, wash the stones with water using a brush or brush. And so that the concrete does not crack during hardening, it must be moistened with water from the outside during the first two or three days. The foundation stones will retain their natural beauty as they are coated with a colorless pentaphthalic lacquer. nine0003 After a few days, the pot is ready to be filled with soil and planted with flower seedlings. A few words about the advantages of a flowerpot made from car tires in comparison with beautiful plastic flowerpots purchased. Flowerpots made of plastic can break, crack, but nothing like this will happen with a flowerpot made of a car tire, and it will serve for a long time. And most importantly, flowerpots are made from discarded tires, which are lying in large numbers along the roads. By using tires to decorate your garden, you can contribute to a better environment. Read on the topic: Rubber Tire Car Crafts are fun and amazing. How much fiction and fantasy is invested in these creations. I want to get to work as soon as possible and decorate my garden or playground near the house with such beauty. who is not here, just a whole zoo! And all of this is made from waste material, which often lies under our feet. Here rubber tires, plastic bottles, old basins and barrels, a hose from a vacuum cleaner, gas cylinders and even a box for gas cylinders have found their use. Of course, to make such a charming bunny, a funny teddy bear or just cut a swan, a crocodile or a flower bed out of a tire, you will need to put in a lot of effort, but when the craft is already assembled and you, taking a brush in your hands, paint your work, you yourself will fascinated by their creation. In order to make decorative sculptures from old tires, you will need the help of a man. Involve your husband in the creativity, because he, too, will be happy to relax in a fairy-tale corner created by himself. Graceful Swan We take an old tire, preferably “bald”, and make markings on it. To do this, we draw two lines with a white marker along the contour of the tire: one at the very top, the other at the bottom. Now, with a sharp knife, cut the tire along the lines, but not completely. nine0003 Cut the top of the tire. This place will not succumb to a knife, a grinder is needed here. As a result, you will have a figure that is remotely similar to a bird. Cut along the lines - wings. Upper section - head and tail. Now you need to take a metal plate, bend it in the shape of a bird's neck, and screw it to the rubber base. We paint the swan with water-based white paint, and make the beak red. That's all, a graceful and proud bird has settled in your garden. nine0003 Caterpillar Everything is very simple here. You will need: 4 tires, green, yellow and blue paint, a metal plate and two paint can lids. We add the tires so that they are close to each other, but at different levels. This is the body of a caterpillar. Color everything green. It is now necessary to fold the antennae-shaped plate and attach it to the top of the front tire. We paint the antennae in yellow. nine0003 Make eyes out of metal caps. The pupils are highlighted with blue paint. Tire Bear This cute bear is sure to please both children and adults. To create a sculpture, you need: 2 tires of different sizes (one for the bear's body, the other for the head), paints, thick rubber and plywood. First, we connect the body and head with a metal pipe. We fix our bear by placing it vertically. We make round blanks from plywood (also with the help of my husband) and close the tires with them on both sides: both the muzzle and the body. Plywood is attached to the wheel rim with self-tapping screws. We cut out the paws and ears from thick rubber and glue them to the wheels with special glue. We paint the bear with outdoor paints. Here you can let your imagination run wild and paint the figurine as you wish. Ship This unusual boat boat can be made in any yard, at the site in kindergarten, as well as on your own personal plot, if the territory allows it. There is nothing complicated in its creation, all you need is to get more car tires and dig them into the ground in the shape of a ship's deck, then install the helm, masts and pull the sails. Sandbox To create a cozy children's corner in your summer cottage or in your garden, you can make this original sandbox. For work, you will need three old tires from a car, a hacksaw and paint. First, carefully cut each tire across into two equal parts and paint each in a different color with bright oil paints. You can use paints in cans. After the paint is completely dry, form a sandbox in the shape of a flower consisting of six petals from the halves of the tires. Tires can be fastened together with self-tapping screws or simply dug them into the ground. In the end, it remains only to fill the sandbox with sand and you can call the children. nine0003 Turtle Please your children with such an unusual tire craft in the form of a cute and kind Turtle Tartila. To make it, you will need one large tire from a truck or tractor, an old enameled or aluminum basin, a five-liter plastic bottle, an automobile rubber tire, scissors, a knife, self-tapping screws, colored paints. First, decide on the place where your turtle will live, it is better that it be a green lawn, and install a large car tire there. Next, cover the round hole in the middle of the tire with an inverted bowl and secure it with four self-tapping screws on all sides. Then take a rubber car tire and cut four identical legs out of it. Attach them with self-tapping screws or a construction stapler to the tire on four sides. The turtle is almost ready, it remains only to make the head, for this, take a plastic bottle, step back ten centimeters from its neck and carefully cut off the upper part in a circle - we will no longer need it. Heat the remaining part a little over the fire so that it becomes elastic, and quickly form an oblong shape out of it, similar to the head of a turtle. Attach the head to the body, and paint the whole figure with the colors of your choice. nine0003 By the way, if you do not cover the hole in the tire with a basin, but pour earth into it and plant flowers, you can get an original turtle flower bed.
Flowerpots from tires 
To do this, put the tire on the ground and cut around the entire perimeter on the side of the tread. The tire should be cut without removing it from the disc. Then turn inside out both the bottom and the top. Thus, you have a kind of glass, the sides of which can be cut and various pebbles, shells, etc. can be glued to them. You can also paint it with different colors. Here everything depends on your imagination. Then you can plant flowers in the middle. It will take you no more than two hours to make such a flower bed. nine0003 
nine0003 
The primer, by the way, fits well on the rubber, which in the future will allow the paint to hold on longer. For less heating of the earth in a flowerpot located in the sun, it is better to paint it with light colors. nine0003 
Apply the solution to the disk, put pebbles and shells on top.

To do this, you need to cut holes in the tires. You can’t do this job with a knife, so ask your husband to cut holes with a grinder. nine0003
