How to make a car tyre planter

Help the environment by making recycled car tyre planters. - by Better Homes and Gardens

How to make a car tyre planter

Save old car tyres from going into landfill by upcycling them into fun DIY projects for the home. Try turning them into a stunning, long-lasting ottoman for your living room or recycle them as fun planters for your garden. Look for small tyres that are flexible and follow out step-by-step guide below. 

Gather your supplies 

  • Recycled rubber tyre
  • Geotextile fabric
  • Potting mix
  • Selection of plants (we used a mix of ferns)
  • Chalk
  • Utility knife
  • Jigsaw with metalcutting blade
  • Drill and bits
  • Screws

Here's how

...

Step 1

Using chalk, draw a wavy line around top edge of the tyre.

Step 2

Make a small incision along line with the utility knife. Insert jigsaw blade and cut along the line. Put cut-out to 1 side – this will form the base of the planter.

Step 3

Put tyre on ground and turn inside out by holding in place with feet and slowly turning over the edge.

Step 4

Place flipped tyre over base. Line bottom with geotextile fabric, ensuring it fits well or cut to fit, as needed. Secure lining to tyre edge and base with screws.

Step 5

Position in desired location in garden. Part fill with potting mix, plant up and backfill. Water well.
