All you need is a sharp knife and an old tire of any size (pick these up for free at a junk yard or tire store).
You are going to take your knife and cut out the top of the tire like so:
Continue around the whole tire:
And then you are actually going to grab this sucker and turn it INSIDE-OUT.
Now you have a smooth finish and a beautiful top!
After you paint this guy, you will have a gorgeous planter on your hands that you can set out in your backyard or hand from above!
You can also cut the bottom out the same way and it becomes a very pretty base.
Look how amazing these are!

BTW, have you seen the tutorials for the tires upcycled into a coffee table, doggie bed, outdoor play area and planter? You should!
