I’ll never ‘tire’ of these planters!
My summer flowers bloomed beautifully in these tires and I couldn’t wait to plant for fall.
These planters have been such fun for me. I think I’ll try something for winter too!

Too cute! I saw something like this at the Farmers market here. They sat them down and they made them look like flowers by cutting them. Then painted it really cute and added flowers!
ReplyDeleteThose are great! I never would have thought of that but they make perfect planters! Your flowers are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOMG Lisa! Those are the cutest thing EVER! But what on earth made you think that flowers would look good in tires? I would have never thought of that! I love them!

These are so great! I have the perfect place for them on our dog run! Joni
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea...oohhhhh I love it so much, I am soooooooo going to do this when I get a house.... amazing idea wow, I love how you can change it for each season
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! When I was little my grandma had some tires she spray painted white then cut the tops of them & laid them down flat with flowers planted inside!
ReplyDeleteThese bring back lots of great memories!
When I saw your blog title I thought it was going to be a tire that is cut and turned inside out. We actually had those back in the 1970's but your tires are really pretty! I love this idea! Cudo's to you for such a great upcycling idea! Thanks so much

I followed your link over from a another site and just love this project. Very cool way to use an old tire to create new beauty with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteLisa - Loved these in the spring and I still love them for the fall! Looks fantastic! I'll be featuring this tomorrow - Stop by and grab a featured button if you like. Thanks for linking up to the Sunday Showcase. I greatly appreciate it. Hope you have a fabulous week. Stephanie Lynn
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess it works. Also, it will help protect the environment since tires can be a great cause of pollution. It does not decompose and burning it is a health hazzard.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous! I think I like these ones more than the summer ones. You could do some great things for winter with greenery and red berries ~ I cannot wait to see what you do.
ReplyDeleteHow super duper cute! Come by today...I have featured you from last weeks party...please feel free to grab my cute little starfish featured button for your blog...thanks again for coming to my NTT party.

This is such a cute idea! One day when I have a garage or shed, I will totally remember to use this idea.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea! I'm saving this for the future, when I actually have a house
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea!!! Love it!

Hey...what a cute idea! I never thought regular ole tires could be made to look so beautiful!! Great conversation piece too! Thanks for stopping by my Nifty Thrifty find post!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOHH I am lovin' this! We have tires just laying around, now I know what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute. I'll bet you could paint those tires too, for a different look.
ReplyDeleteHow did you "hang" the tire on the fence?
ReplyDeletegrannykeigh@yahoo.com just posted the question above... ;)
DeleteWow! Another great project! Such a fabulous repurpose! Tires never looked so good! Thanks for linking up to The Talent Scouting Party at WhisperWood Cottage!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Keep me posted about the party button! Once it's added, I can approve it to show in the linky. :)
Which type of flowers do you use, the ones I planted died fairly quickly :( They also didnt look as filled in as yours, maybe I put too much soil? (or not enough?) And suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHello Janice. I don't think its really about the type of flower I planted as much as it is the watering! These tires hold a lot of heat from the day time and will dry out extremely fast. Because the tire is always warm and fairly shallow of soil, you really need to keep on top of it with water. I put soil right up to the top. Get as much as you can get in there. In the summer I plant sweet potato vines and they grow like crazy in the tires and the roots get huge, but they still do well in that shallow holder. Maybe just monitor the water daily. Hopefully that helps
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa
Thanks for your reply, Lisa! I'm always afraid of watering too much, but what you wrote makes sense. Thank you!
Deletewhat did you use to attach them to the side of the shed?
