Expert Q&A
Tips
- If you have some old tires lying around but you’re not sure how to repurpose them, spend some time browsing online and see what clicks with you. You may be inspired to come up with your own creative use for a decorated tire.[12]Thanks
- Tires are made to be extremely durable, so they hold up really well for a very long time outdoors. You may have to reapply your decorative paint every so often, but your tire creation—whatever it is—will almost certainly stand the test of time!Thanks
Warnings
- Tires make great planters, but may also leach out harmful chemicals. The leaching may or may not be enough to cause you harm if it gets into any edibles in the planter, but it’s safest to avoid the risk and stick to growing flowers in your tire planters.[13]Thanks
