With the help of a can of paint or an aerosol can, we decorate our tire. 
A stack of tires can make a great stand for climbing garden plants. This design is suitable for both home and garden.
Let's start creating the figure of a swan. We take the same tire and make two symmetrical cuts: the length of each is equal to half the circumference and 5 cm along the edge. The narrow part will be the neck, and the wide part will be the wings. We bend the resulting parts as needed. Then we paint everything white, and the beak is red.

Next, we sand it with sandpaper, trim the bumps and folds. It remains to varnish a few times. This procedure will give your flowerpot shine and style. 
Let's move on to such a wonderful material as plywood. Many masters prefer to use it to realize their plans. We will not bypass it and we are with you. It is best to use moisture resistant plywood. We assume that they still know how to work with such material from the school bench.

Figures can decorate various flower beds, gardens, playgrounds. It will be great and look great, and the children will be indescribably delighted. Also, don't forget to decorate your crafts.

We grind their edges with sandpaper, and drill holes for the pegs with a drill. We attach them with screws. For a large figure, large stakes are required. We paint the horse, then we varnish it.
