Create a practical flower vase

in the country can be from improvised materials. Old tires will come in handy: spacious flowerpots made of tires will refresh the look of a summer cottage. They can be painted in any color and installed on a small piece of land. Flowerpots from car tires can be made with your own hands, but this will require physical strength.

So, we need:

• Tire from a car. Rubber from trucks is not good, as it is much thicker and heavier, so it will be very difficult to cut out of it.
• Large sharpened scissors and a sharp knife.
• Chalk for contouring.
• Gloves.

In addition to inventory, physical strength and caution when working with a knife are also needed.

Everyone who decides to make flowerpots from tires should be very careful with the knife during work. When dealing with a sharp object, there is always a chance of injury. Therefore, precautions do not interfere. It is better to take a knife with a comfortable handle. And in the process of work, it is advisable to use thick gloves.

The old tire is cleaned of dirt, allowed to dry. If in yourfarm does not have one, visit any tire shop. There they will gladly give you a whole mountain of tires, and they will also say thank you. Choose one that is cleaner and not too worn.

So let's get started! Using a knife, cut off the side surface of the tire (on one side). You need to cut along the edge of the tread with a pattern. It is from this part that the curly edges or “petals” of the future vase will be cut.

Now in this place we apply the contours of future petals with chalk. Carefully cut the rubber along the marked line. If this process caused difficulties, then the knife is not sharpened enough. In such a situation, it is good to have sharpening or replaceable knives on hand. The first petal is the hardest. Having mastered it, you can grab a ready-made petal and cut it, slightly stretching the rubber. On a hot summer day, this procedure will be easier, as the heat softens the rubber.

When the last petal is cut out, all that remains is to turn our vase inside out. You can stop at this, or you can dream up: decorate the flowerpot with a stand, painting, decorative elements. To make it clear how to make a flowerpot from a tire, below is a photo.

Depending on what kind of rubber you had (with or without a disk), you can get a regular low flowerpot or a vase on a stand. Having mastered this simple technique, you can decorate the courtyard of the house well. Tire flowerpots look very colorful and aesthetically pleasing when painted with outdoor paints. You must first degrease the surface.

After all, on the inside (as you remember, the tire needs to be turned out) there is no less dirt and waste substances than on the outside. In order not to get too dirty, you can use old brushes and thinner. If your flowerpots from tires will soon become flower beds, then there is no need to paint the vase from the inside.

This completes the process! All the most difficult things are behind, pleasant little things remain - choosing a place for a flower bed from a tire, laying the ground, sowing seeds or planting seedlings. Such a garden decoration is a real find for lovers of annual flowers. After all, it is annuals that turn out to have nowhere to land after the entire garden is sown with vegetable crops. A flowerpot can always be attached to the corner of the garden or at the porch.
