Minions in fashion design
Minions have really become a part of our lives. Many would envy such popularity. T-shirts with minions, pants, jackets with their image, and the minion hat is even more popular.
DIY minion hat
For a child, making such a hat with your own hands will not be very difficult. A simple option: buy a regular yellow hat, sew black threads on it - this will be the hair and eyes of the minion. A more complicated option is a knitted minion hat. Well, here you will have to show all your creative skills and abilities, find a suitable scheme and go ahead. The hat can be knitted or crocheted. You can even knit a whole set: a hat and scarf with the image of a minion.
A hat in the minion style can also be made using applique. To begin with, you need to draw the details of the minion on paper, then carefully transfer it to the fabric, cut out all the details, sew them, and only then you can sew them on the hat. You can use felt for applique; pieces of it can be bought at craft stores. And the simplest idea is to make such a hat from a yellow construction helmet. All you need to do is attach the eyes and the strap - and it's ready.
Minion costume for child
And if you want to make not only a hat for your baby, but also an entire carnival costume, then you will have to try hard. But in fact, sewing a minion costume is much easier than sewing the same Cinderella or Bunny. It is enough to find a suitable bright yellow fabric, sew on a blue jumpsuit, and add the hat we talked about above. The character is recognizable, so your child will definitely not be confused with anyone.
What you need to have on hand
Crafts for the garden from unusable tires will require certain skills, attentiveness and creativity. In general, this is a simple and quite entertaining entertainment for those who are used to relaxing, making something for everyday use and having fun at the same time. Crafts made from tires for the garden will allow you to create entire compositions. What will it take?
Firstly, a certain number of car tires and paint that is resistant to external influences. It is advisable to choose bright and saturated colors, and white and black are needed for the main tone.
Secondly, comfortable, sharp knives and a paint brush (one or more).
Thirdly, perseverance and accuracy in cutting out the shapes of the figure.
Garden figures
The most popular figure for decorating flower beds is the swan - a beautiful noble bird finds a place in any part of the front garden.
For manufacturing, it is important to choose the right tire. Many people recommend using a soft and thin tire: it is easier to cut and process.
Before you start making a swan, the tire should be washed and dried. Also needed: tape measure or ruler, chalk or marker for marking the design, knife, stapler, pliers, wire, diagram for cutting out the shape, brushes and paint.
- Draw a drawing of the selected figure (there are different models).
- Cut according to the pattern with a knife; if the tire is thick, use a grinder, along parallel lines from the base to the beginning (from the neck to the head).
- Once cutting is complete, use pliers to remove any wire protruding from the edges.
- Turn the tire inside out.
- Secure the neck, head and wings with wire and staples.
- Paint the swan in the color you like and draw a beak.
be careful
Few people think about the fact that crafts made from tires can cause pollution of a pond or reservoir. The harmless and beautiful swan and the kind crocodile, without even wanting to drown, turn into an ordinary and unattractive piece of rubber.
If you do not detect the loss in a timely manner and do not get it from the bottom, then over time it will begin to rot. This certainly leads to disruption of the ecological system of the water space.
That is why the owners of the territory always need to be aware of whether all decorative crafts are in their place. If not, then take appropriate action for your own good.
Tools required for work
Naturally, without the necessary tools, it will not be possible to cope with such a difficult-to-process material as dense reinforced rubber. Therefore, to carry out the work you should prepare:
- electric jigsaw for cutting rubber and other materials used for making products;
- a sharp knife with a strong blade and a comfortable handle;
- metal ruler, tape measure;
- pencil and chalk for marking;
- a cord for making a homemade compass, if you need to mark a circle on plywood;
- a screwdriver with different attachments that allow you to tighten both screws and bolts.
Power tools must be equipped with high-quality parts that make it easy to cut thick reinforced rubber, as well as easily fasten individual parts together
Furniture made from tires
It is useful, not bad and financially profitable to “create” furniture with your own labor. Instead of searching and buying, making to order, or bringing in a set, you can use a sufficient number of worn-out tires and get furniture that looks great in the garden.
The most affordable option is offered. Each tire must first be thoroughly washed and dried. There are special products for washing tires. Then they are painted in the bright color that the owners of the dacha like.
Acrylic paints are ideal for the side parts. To complete the feeling, tires can be covered with covers, the fabric of which is dense and has waterproof properties.
Minion pillow - simple and bright
A decorative minion pillow would be a cool and useful gift. The simplest option is to buy a small pillow with a white base, take fabric paints and simply decorate the pillow as a yellow man. You can sew a pillow yourself, take a yellow pillowcase as a basis, fill it with a special filler, and then do as your imagination pleases. Play with the shape of the pillow, its design and quality. There will probably be a minion applique in the store; it can also be used as a basis for creating a decorative pillow.

Unusual waste bin
In any area of the site around the dacha, you can place a trash can made of tires. It looks good as a craft for the garden, not to mention its benefits for summer residents. It’s not difficult to do it in your free time.
Three worn tires are stacked on top of each other. As easy as pie. You can freshen them up with paint and even draw something fun. Both will look great among beds with vegetables and herbs. There must be a special bag inside the tank. Ready. You can use it.
The land in front of the house - how to diversify it?
Not every person is tolerant of monotony. In an effort to fill their lives with bright colors, people transform their interiors, decorate their clothes, and use cosmetics.
However, sooner or later the desire for change goes beyond the boundaries of the home - straight to the bushes in front of the house, a vegetable garden that is familiar to the last garden bed, or just a vacant lot.
Unfortunately, street conditions differ from the usual home conditions. Sudden temperature changes, rain and snow, direct sunlight and wind - all these factors leave no chance for fragile decorative items.A material that is resistant to destruction is required, for example, specially prepared rubber.
Pond at the dacha
An artificial pond for a summer cottage is the dream of most owners. You can save a lot of money by creating a small pond using ordinary tires.
A hole is dug into which tires are placed, covered with a very strong film of sufficient density. A hose is lowered into the middle - a source of water supply.
It is better to disguise the top of the tire rims with pebbles of different sizes. Pebbles are perfect. Plants that “adore” moisture are planted next to the resulting reservoir. Use your imagination to decorate your pond and put it into practice. Finally, the pond is filled with water.
Beds for cats or dogs
These pets' resting places can become the most attractive for them, and if they can be used for games, such inventions have no price. Be sure to purchase a pillow for this design. The old feather version will also work.
A cushion must be placed in the tire, which must first be washed and trimmed. The height of the bed is selected in accordance with the preferences of the owner. As well as the size and capabilities of the pet. It is important and unusual to decorate such a product. It is advisable to paint with hypoallergenic paints that do not smell.
Children's zone
Who will be most pleased with a cheerful children's playground with animals, birds, cars, swings and much more? Of course everyone. Children play, parents quietly go about their business or join them.
Anyone who has already gained enough experience can build swans, palm trees and a lot of everything bright, comfortable and colorful.
Bicycle parking spaces
A great idea for those summer residents who love to play sports and often go for bike rides. By placing 5 tires in a row, you can get 4 full parking spaces.
The distance between the tires should correspond to the width of the bicycle wheels. To make parking as successful as possible, you should first dig a rectangular hole at the site where the tire structure will be installed.
Place the tires in it, fixing them with soil. The rings are separated using plywood or a thin board. It is worth painting this structure in a gray tone or decorating it with bright colors.
Beasts from tires
A bright tiger with black stripes on an orange background is an excellent craft for a children's garden. It is not difficult to install the tires in such a way that a strange beast appears.
You will need desire, free time and a small amount of spray paint. The first tire is installed horizontally. This is the installation location for the remaining parts of the sculptural improvisation. The second tire is cut in half. Using a knife, the cut points are processed. You get two paws. The third tire is turned out and the torso is threaded through.
The structure is screwed on with self-tapping screws. A relief muzzle is cut out of the remaining rubber. The eyes are replaced with bolts or glass. The entire structure is painted. The ears are inserted into the slots on the top of the head after dyeing.
Flower beds
A country or garden plot or vegetable garden can be improved and decorated without serious expenses by making small flower beds with your own hands from unnecessary tires. The rubber from tires is very flexible and elastic, so it is most suitable for various treatments; it is not difficult to give it the desired shape.
The simplest option is to put the tire on the ground and fill it with soil, then decorate it, let it dry and start planting flowers.
Building a multi-level flower bed is not difficult. To do this, take a certain number of tires, cut a plywood disk for each and attach it to the bottom. Place the tires in a pyramid shape, filling them with soil one at a time. Paint and plant the plants.
Hanging small flower beds. Hang a pre-painted car tire vertically on a rope (preferably near a wall), and place primer on it. Do not forget to make several holes for water drainage; the accumulation of liquid can lead to rotting of the root system of the planted plant.
And in conclusion, let’s say that by using old tires to decorate playgrounds, vegetable gardens, orchards and flower beds, you not only decorate them, but also take care of the environment and ecology.
