Flowerpot from an old tire

 

Flowerbeds, alpine slides, flowerpots, stools, swings - that just do not make old tires. Rubber is a very durable material and is ideal for outdoor use. But in this case we are talking about flower beds, let's look at how to make a flowerpot from an old tire for a summer residence. There are many options for making a flowerpot, on the Internet you can meet real masterpieces, if you type the appropriate request, and let's look at the classic version, so to speak.

We will need:

• old tires;
• some template for marking circles, you can use a large cup;
• a piece of chalk;
• knife (very sharp).

 

It is better to work with rubber on a hot day, for obvious reasons, then it is more malleable.

 

Operating procedure:

• tires are different, so it is better to choose tires with soft rubber. Because we will need to squeeze out a part of the rubber in the tread area;
• clean the tire from dirt;
• with the help of a prepared template, it can be a big cup, draw a picture with chalk, these will be future petals;
• with the observance of security measures, we cut out the painted petals with a knife;

 

• then bend the rubber from the cut and turn the petals out;
• between each petal we cut a deep gap to the edge of the cord (do not touch the tread);
• grab the petals with your hands and turn your knee against the direction of rotation, however, this is an option, you can try to unscrew it in another way, as you prefer, most importantly, do not try to unscrew all the petals at the same time;
• In conclusion, the tire must be degreased and painted. In the middle, it is not necessary to paint, there will still be soil and it is harmful for plants, only the petals and the outer surface are scratching.

Of course, this is not the only way and the options for flowerpots from the tires may be different, you can look in this gallery

Decorative flower bed made of tires

 

There are many options for different flower beds from old tires, but try to make one. decorative flower bed made of tiresas in this photo. This is no longer a flower bed, I don’t even know what to call it, but I’m not ashamed to put such a thing on the veranda. The way to sheathe or in this case to tie the tires is often used to make furniture from tires. In principle, it resembles a stool, but we will make a cozy original flower pot at home.

 

 

 

What do we need.

• Naturally, the old tire is small;
• Twenty meters of twine;
• Thick plywood, (about 5 mm);
• Three whetstones for legs and several wooden blanks for their fastening;
• Capacity for flowers;
• Drill;
• Self-tapping screws;
• Glue for fixing twine;
• Bolts, nuts or screws, which is more convenient for you to use.

 

The procedure for manufacturing a flower garden from a tire

• Cut the lid from the plywood, or the bottom, in general, which side to look at;
• We make four technological holes for the bolts where the legs will be attached.
• We drill holes in the sidewalls of the tire and plywood for attaching the cover.
• We begin to fix the cord, it is very convenient to do with a hot glue gun, but if this is not possible, you can just put it on the “Moment” glue.
• Start gluing from the bottom edge of the wooden base.
• Then we fix the legs to the lower base. Here, you can use angle brackets for reliability by attaching them with screws and even gluing them for a solid hold.
• Insert the prepared container for flowers. It is not at all necessary that it fits perfectly in size, it can be a basin or a cut bottom of a plastic barrel.
• That's all, pour soil, plant flowers.

True, there are nuances. For a container for flowers, it is better to make a double bottom, well, as in flower pots, so that they can be removed during watering. Also, the legs for the flower garden must be polished and varnished.And yet, it is not very convenient to use a glue gun in hot weather, hot glue will be bad to hold, so it is better to carry out work in a cool room or just use super glue.

 

Hanging flower pot parrot

 

Flower beds from tires in the form of flowerpots look beautiful, but you can add more creativity, for example, make hanging budgerigar, paint in bright colors, plant climbing plants, you get such a tropical corner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, for the case. Prepare:

• a tire with a shallow tread;
• sharp knife;
• spanners;
• a bolt, a nut and two washers;
• drill;
• brushes and paints.

So, we have a bus.

Now it is necessary to divide it with chalk into three equal parts, and cut the sides from one part with a knife to get such a blank as in the photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then turn the workpiece inside out

 

From the scraps we make a beak

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, under the size of the beak, cut the edge of the tire in half and clamp it between the two parts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the location of the eyes of our rubber parrot, drill holes, insert a bolt on the washers and tighten

 

 

 

 

 

 

They figured it out with a head, everything is easier with a tail, it is already ready, in principle, you just need to draw a contour and cut it out. Then we pull the sides of the tire with wire and the bird is almost ready.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The most interesting part remains - coloring. A parrot, a motley bird, so that you can decorate in all the colors of the rainbow. For credibility, you can paint Aru as in the photo, in a yellow-deep color. Where black details remain, you can simply coat the rubber with varnish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, our planter is ready. It remains to find a suitable container and choose beautiful flowers. Plants in hanging flower pots with hanging garlands of flowers look very beautiful, do not take up much space and, if necessary, can easily be transferred to another place. The main thing is to choose the right varieties.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any tires are suitable for creating flower beds from tires. The main task is to design them beautifully. Tires can be placed bleached if there is space, making up various compositions of plants and the color of the tires. It is better to paint tires in light shades, then the earth inside will not overheat much. Automotive paint fits perfectly on the rubber, however, any enamel and oil will do. From the tires you can make beautiful slides, then you will get a multi-tiered flowerbed, hang like a cache-pot, cut out various shapes. For decor use pieces of rubber, plastic from colored bottles and glass for the aquarium to simulate drops of water. In this collection you can appreciate the fantasies of lovers of original flower gardens.
