Vason of tires, how to make a pot, useful tips

Modern specialized flower shops provide a wide selection of flower pots. Those who wish to green a homestead territory or a terrace of a country house can easily purchase flowerpots of any kind, color and size. But people who have a creative imagination, prefer to make products of this kind on their own, for example vases from tires.

Vases with their own hands - original and inexpensive

The factory flower tank can be made of different materials: plastic, clay, gypsum, wood, stone. Such products are famous for their excellent quality, long service life, the availability of a wide range of colors and a variety of finishes. The store vase can be selected for any styling of the infield or home, as well as for personal preferences. The main disadvantage of products of this kind is their high cost, often depending on different aspects: the cost of transportation from another country in which they were brought; dimensions of the product; the cost of material and the like.

Concerning flower vases produced by own hand, it is worth noting that the cost of their production will be much lower than that of purchased ones, and the effect of the individuality and originality of the product will be much higher.

From what materials can you make flower pots

Often, self-made flower pots are made from gabion, concrete, tires from the car. Creating a flowerpot from the tire provides for the solution of several problems simultaneously: first of all, the use of unnecessary tires, the second, adding to the landscape design of the infield area of ​​an unusual and fashionable kind.

Quite often, another non-ordinary version of the design improvement solution is used. For example, having bought a pot of clay of the necessary shape and size, you can show imagination and decorate it with the help of natural stones, waterproof paint, multi-colored artificial pebbles.

Vases from tires with their own hands

To create such an element of decor you will need the following materials:

• obsolete tire
• cement
• paint
• sand
• primer
• soap solution
• beautiful pebbles of small size - pebbles or rubble
• wire or mesh for plastering.

Of the tools are useful:

• well ground knife
• electric jig saw
• grinding machine
• building trowel
• paintbrush
• the container in which the concrete solution will be mixed
• a brush with a hard pile.

First of all you need to cut one of the two lateral parts of the tire. The second part should be without any visible damage. It is better to cut the lateral part not on a straight line, but to execute it figuratively. Such a line of edging will add a vintage of originality. Before the beginning of the process of cutting the tire, it is necessary to draw a line along which the cut will be made. To facilitate the cutting of dense rubber, the knife is soaked with a solution of soap.

If you want to design a complex pattern on the edging of the future flowerpot, you can use the electric forehead. By analogy with working with a knife, it will simplify the process of cutting a rubber soap solution.

After the end of the cutting work, the whole part of the tire must be turned with the wrong side to the top. The process of eversion will require considerable physical effort. It is better to start from one of the edges and slowly go to the other's turning out.

After the tire is turned out, the edge part is brought to an ideal state using a grinding machine.

The next stage is the construction of the flowerpot leg. Ideal for the legs of such a flowerpot, of course the drive, from the same bus. To do this, you will need to mount the two parts of the tire onto the wheel from the machine wheel.

Now, when the works on assembling the flowerpot are over, you can proceed to the works on the decoration of the flowerpot or the flower bed of the tires. Both the disc and rubber should be carefully and carefully covered with a primer, and then apply the paint of the desired color. Designers advise to choose the warmer and light shades, because they do not burn out so quickly and crack under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

At this stage, the process of creating a bus vase could be considered complete, but if the creator does not abandon the idea that "something is missing", then several methods can be used to give a more decorated and improved look to the creation.

How to make a flowerpot with a disc

For example, you can decorate the disc with natural stones. To do this, you need to strengthen on the wheel drive wire or a grid under the plaster. Having made such a winding, you can be completely sure that the concrete composition applied to it will last a long time and hold firmly. Now you can start mixing concrete. The percentage composition is as follows: 1 part of cement, 3 parts of sifted sand, 0.5 parts of water.

The consistency of the solution must be thick. Otherwise, it will not stick to the disk. Conscientiously stirring the solution, you can start to throw it on the disk with a trowel. Finishing the disc with cement is best done before the tire parts are assembled.

In order not to smudge the pot with cement, it is recommended to install it on a sheet of metal, for example, and only then work with cement. After the cement slurry completely covers the tire disc, you should immediately proceed to decorate the legs with natural stone. The best option for such a decor is a pebble of not large sizes. It will also be interesting in its place to look like small pieces of colored broken glass.

After a while, when the solution is a little dry, pebbles should be gently washed with water and using a brush to remove from them cement contamination. Within the next 3 days, the concreted legs should be regularly moistened with water. This method of drying the concrete, in the future, will prevent deformation (cracking) of the product from exposure to sunlight.

When the concrete on the stem completely dries, you can fill the pot with fertilized soil and start planting flower seeds.

What can be made from tires for the garden

Cutting out the specific shape of the tire for the flowerpot, it must be understood that this is a mirror image of the finished top of the vase. For example, the base can be formed in the form of petals-trapezium. To do this, on the side of the tire, draw 8 to 10 bars resembling trapezium. In each division, a round petal is drawn, a narrowed part to the base. The distance between the petals should be about 5 centimeters. This place is for the formation of narrow curls. The roundness of the petal should not be close to the middle of the width of the wheel. The next step is to connect the bases of the petals with even lines as close to the disk as possible. Now you can start cutting.

High vases of tires

Initially, it may seem that such a model of the vase is complex. But this is only at first glance. Cutting out of this vase occurs as close as possible near the disc. After the cut is made, the tire is leveled. Now, if there is a desire, you can decorate the top more decorative: make additional cuts, cut off the top of elongated or sharp petals. After such modification, the ornament of the leg will not coincide with the shape of the upper part.

Decoration of shaped edges of the tire for the flowerpot

This method assumes a standard carving of the vase, only waves and zigzags are replaced by alternating one deep and two less deep cuts. The result will be very interesting. The interior of this flower pot can be painted in a different color, in harmony with the color used for exterior painting. Such a vase does not have to be used for its intended purpose. In it, for a summer period of time, you can put pots of flowers before that were in the house.

Decorating the rubber flowerpot with hearts and crosses

This option is suitable for owners who are not attuned to seriousness. This design looks more original and cheerful.

You can decorate such a vase, for example, marble. Such coloring will add presentability and impressiveness, in addition, visually give a fundamentality.

Those who want to experiment with the types of design, decorators are advised to try to change the shape of the cutting. The main thing is not to be afraid of anything and listen to your inner creative voice.
