People Are Transforming Old Tyres Into Fairy Gardens

We're loving seeing the DIY projects people are taking on in lockdown - and this garden one has to be the most magical yet.

People are using old tyres to creating fantasy fairy gardens, and the results are too sweet.

First spotted on Extreme Couponing UK, mum Claire transformed an old rubber wheel into a pink fairy garden for her daughter.

Sharing the steps, Claire began by priming and painting the tyre with spray painting.

She then found the perfect spot for her tyre in her garden, and began filling it with sand to ground it, before covering it in a small piece of astro turf.

Claire then began the fun part: adding to the fairy garden using products she found in Poundland, Aldi, Asda & The Range. To top it off, Claire decorated the tyre with solar powered fairy lights.

The post on received over 1,000 comments from parents loving her ingenuity.

Over on Instagram, others have also been using their tyres in to create incredible garden features. Take a look...


If you don't have a garden but a balcony instead, there are still so many ways to spruce up your outdoor space during lockdown.

You could even copy TV presenter, curve model and dog mum Fiona Falkiner who decided to makeover her balcony to wait out quarantine on.

The influencer got her DIY on, transforming her lacklustre concrete balcony with fake turf, rattan furniture and potted plants.

The final result is a leafy haven made for soaking up the sun.


"A little balcony DIY we finished today," said the model, shared her pictures to Instagram. "Trying to make a little green oasis!"

How great?!
