If there’s one thing you probably never thought you could recycle, it’s the wheel covers used to protect the steel rims of cars, to prevent them from being damaged. Well, if you need to replace them and don’t know what to do with them, before getting rid of them we recommend you take a look at the following creative recycling ideas.
In fact, wheel covers lend themselves to being decorated in a thousand and more ways, and especially in the garden they make a great impression. To paint them you could spray some transparent primer and then some colored paint suitable for the target material, naturally after having sanded them well.
However, if you want to paint them in various colours, you should use ad hoc enamels or acrylic colours, which will be applied directly with the brush.
Don’t forget to pass on a final coat of transparent protectant, especially essential if you want to hang them outdoors.
There are those who even use them, alternating them with other circular objects, to create wall flowers.
If you don’t want to paint the wheel cover but the idea of turning it into a flower appeals to you, here is the alternative solution that’s right for you.
As you can see, you can really decorate them in countless ways, transforming them not only into flowers but also into wall paintings.
