Used car tires are a great idea to redecorate and build useful things at home spending little money. You can make with them, for example, a small grill that even enters a balcony.
In this article you will see another idea to reuse them in a fun way: turn a tire into a planter, applying a mosaic technique.
Although the mosaic is very beautiful, you can also decorate it however you like, or even keep its natural appearance for a rustic decoration, as in this planter full of succulents.
- a car tire
- Paint suitable for metal
- Broken or venetian tiles
- contact cement
- White cement
- A piece of felt (thick cloth)
- Fertile land and plants
Process
1. Remove the tire from inside the tire, if it was still there.
2. Give it the treatment you want, for example, giving it an antioxidant and painting it.

5. Fill with fertile soil, and plant whatever you want inside!
