Steps

Gather Materials and Tools
Collect all necessary materials and tools before starting your project. This ensures an efficient and hassle-free process.
Clean the Tyres
Thoroughly clean the tyres using soapy water and a scrub brush. Remove all dirt, grease, and grime, and allow the tyres to dry completely.
Sketch Your Design
Plan your yard art design. Sketch the desired shapes and patterns on a piece of paper. If you plan to cut the tyres, outline your design directly on the tyres using a marker.
Cut and Shape the Tyres
Using a utility knife or jigsaw with a fine-toothed blade, carefully cut and shape the tyres according to your design. Always wear protective gear during this step.
Paint the Tyres
Apply a coat of acrylic paint to the tyres. Allow the paint to dry completely before adding additional coats or details. For added durability, seal the paint with a clear acrylic sealer.
Assemble and Display Your Art
Once the paint is dry, assemble the components of your yard art as planned. Secure the pieces together using screws or heavy-duty adhesive if needed. Place your finished art in the desired location in your yard.
