There are many solutions to the problem of using automobile tires after their service life has finished and they can’t be used anymore as essential parts of your car. But we should mention one more unusual usage of tires as garden flowerbeds. You can do them yourself and decorate your garden in an original way!
Usually tires are used to create a flowerbed in the following way: the sides of a tire are cut and the tires are put on the ground or on any rising ground with a protector, turned outside. Sometimes a corrugated part of a tire’s surface is painted. It looks not bad. But you may recognize at once, that these flowerbeds are made of used automobile tires.
But flowerpots, made from tires, have rather unusual and interesting forms. Their worn out inattractive protector of an outer cover is turned inside, and its flat internal part is turned outside. The flowerpots, made in such a way look very attractive, and at once it is impossible to understand that they are made from tires.
Let’s turn our attention to materials, which are necessary to make flowerpots from automobile tires:
- automobile tirecover;
- cement;
- sand;
- stones;
- soapy water;
- clearcole.
You need to cut the sides of the tires and make the carcass for your future flowerpot of round or figured form. Figured carving will make your garden vase more beautiful, but you will have to work hard to be content with your work in future. At first it is necessary to draw lines of cutting on tires’ sides and then cut the rubber. To make this work simpler you’d better moisten a knife with a soapy water. To create more complex pattern you should use an electrofret.
After you have finished the cutting you need to turn tire cover inside, which is not difficult. Have you managed with this work? So, now turn its internal part outside. This process requires some efforts and skills. Use clearcole to make a tire more like a real flowerpot which won’t you even resemble the material, from which it was made. Now you can paint your work of art. Try to use light colors in order to prevent your future flowerpot from the sun heat. After several days, the flowerpot is ready to be filled with ground and you can plant flowers into it.
Flowerpots, made from automobile tires have some advantages in comparison with usual plastic flowerpots. They won’t broke and will serve you long. And, what is more important, using tires as an extraodinary decoratation of your garden you contribute to the improvement of the environmental situation.
