How to turn an Old Tyre into a Flower Pot?
1. Here are the tools I used for this DIY:
2. Prepare an old tyre. I kept the old tyres when I changed new tyres for my car 😉
3. Use a pencil and a cup to draw half circles onto the old tyre (or any other shapes that you like)
4. Wear gloves to protect your hands. Start making a small cut using a blade / scissor, to test the strength you need to start cutting.
5. After making a small cut, use scissor (only use 1 side blade) to continue to stab and make the cutting. You might need a certain amount of strength to continue this process. You can also try other methods (e.g.: electric saw) to cut.
6. Continue until you complete the whole process and take out the unwanted part.
7. Now this step is the most difficult part, you will need to think on how to flip the tyre inside out. I use my full strength to make it happen with help of both hands and both legs. Good luck!
8. Once it is flipped inside-out, your flower pot is now ready to be used. This design does not contain stagnant water in the tyre, so no worries about Aedes mosquito larvae and dengue.
9. If you like colourful version, you may try to paint it with different colours.
