DIY: upcycled tires

i love upcycling! aka taking something old and re-imagining it in a new and fabulous way – which you probably already know from my many upcycling projects, most recently with the stick chairpallet coffee table, old birdcage and old book decoupaged coffee table, etc. so how about tires? i love the idea of upcycling these big industrial black rubber things into colorful planters like the stack above.

simply spray paint your old tires with some fun colors and use them to contain your plants, or your butt…

like these cute tire seats! painted and stuffed with foam and topped with fuzzy cushions.

    Hey Kate, did you put something on the bottom of the tire to prevent the dirt and the plant from falling down, and if you did, what did you do? Love your ideas! xoxo
