How to Create Wall Art from Car Tyres

Clean the Tyre

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the tyre to remove all dirt and debris. Use soap, water, and a brush to scrub the surface. Rinse well and let it dry completely.

Cut the Tyre

Using a utility knife, carefully cut the tyre into the desired shape or pattern. You might want to create circular, floral, or abstract shapes. Ensure you wear gloves for safety.

Sand the Edges

After cutting, sand the edges of the tyre to smooth out any rough or sharp areas. This will ensure a finished and polished look.

Prime and Paint

Apply a primer to the tyre and let it dry. Next, use spray paint or acrylic paint to give your tyre a vibrant color. Multiple coats may be needed for even coverage. Allow each coat to dry before adding the next.

Add Decorative Elements

Enhance your tyre art by adding decorative elements such as beads, glitter, or faux flowers. Use adhesive to attach these items securely to the tyre.

Mount the Tyre Art

Secure mounting hardware to the back of the tyre art. Use robust hooks or wall anchors that can support the weight of the tyre. Hang the tyre on your desired wall.
