Tire Art

When the rubber meets the road, the wear and tear process begins and eventually the tires need replacing.

Most of us leave that up to a mechanic who also disposes of the old, worn out tires, but why not take those home and create some fantastic art with them?

Yes, there is plenty of gorgeous art made from tires and once you get the hang of it, you can probably find lots of parts for your project. You can go tire hunting down the Interstate; you will find plenty of busted tire part lying by the wayside. These 'road kills' can be just what you need and could do the trick for the project you may have in mind.

Instead of piling them up or burning them in the backyard, you can use them for all kinds of creations.

Cut in pieces and spray painted, they can turn in to wonderful wall art, planters, sculptures and whatever else your imagination can come up with.

Give it a go and I wouldn't be surprised if it would put a whole new spin on your perspective of an old tire!
