This is beautiful. I really like the cup planters. What tool do you use to remove the outter rim and what paint was used? Really would like to try this.
use a sawsall if you have it but other saws/blades work…the paint use any good quality spraypaint for plastic…use bolts to connect tires ..handles can be made from pool noodles..
Donna and everyone else requesting directions. I am sorry…I didn’t see your requests here. I am also wanting directions and what the handles are made of to the teacups as well. I am not that artistic as to how to attach, what to use, etc….they really do need to supply directions on these magical creations and not just pictures for those of us that are not mechanically oriented. Hopefully one of us will get an answer…well all of us as we have different emails and they are not shown.
there are DIY’s on pinterest everyone..basically you use a saw (like a sawsall..reciprocating saw..cut the sidewall close to the tred..for the handles on the cup/saucers..you can use pool noodled and drill holes to connect the pool noodle to the tire..fold pool noodle under to hide the bolt you use..a decent paint for ‘rubber/plastic and a easy design/motiff and done..not recommended to grow food plants in these but flowers do awesome and in drought areas the sidewalls do retain some water..be sure to drill drain holes so we don’t give ‘skeeters’ a nesting area..:P
These are great ideas. My roommate does tire work for semi-trucks, he says he can get me all the tires i want. so if you could send me directions or tell me where to find them that would be awesome.
It looks like the cup handles are made from the piece cut off the tire to make the cup open at the top. The base looks like it’s the side cut off a tractor tire. The cup with the curled up base seems to be a piece of tire as well. It’s just turned differently than the others. Most were inside of tire facing down while this is inside facing up. 🙂 good luck everyone!
I have looked all over this site for the directions on making the teacup tire display for plants or whatever one wants to use it for. Would you please tell us how to make the handle on the cup? I love these but don’t see any directions as to what to use for the handle or how to attach it. Remember not all of us are as handy as some others are and I just love these ideas…so cool and we can make them all our own by making what we like out of the tires or following your suggestions which are just awesome!!! Please reply….Thank you.
Steel belted radials do not work well for furniture. Most of the furniture that is depicted here is made in Asia. Not so much steel in them.
Steel is sharp and snags things when it is cut.
Why is this blocked on pinterest??
I’d love to know.. I think these pictures and ideas are awesome!!
Someone make a new pin or something and let me know when it’s fixed!!! 🙂 <3
We made the tea cup this morning. Used rustoleum spray paint with primer in it. The larger tire that you cut the top off of makes the saucer and we used a small dirt bike tire for the handle. It’s absolutely adorable!
OMG! OMG! This is pure awesomeness – pastel ombre coloured wall of tires! Insane!

The tire is turned inside out which is why it’s turned up at the top and it’s sitting on a Hubcap. The Handle is from a Tire piece that was cut off.

What kind of paint do you use for the tires
We made the tea cup this morning. Used rustoleum spray paint with primer in it. The larger tire that you cut the top off of makes the saucer and we used a small dirt bike tire for the handle. It’s absolutely adorable!
Would like directions to make the minion, plz
There is no place listed near me. Can the site be extended?
What do you use to cut the tires… tires are hard to cut!
I love these I’m actually making some of the seats and tea cups this summer for my back yard…
Would love to get imformation on how to start on this project plzzzx.
I cannot believe how creative these are! I am blown away!
I have tons of tires All size s..Can’t wait to get started on this!
i have 4 giant back hoe tires for this if anybody wants them for free !
I think bicycle tires would work well for the tea cup handles
I need instructions on how to assemble and secure the frog structure with the two smaller tires on top please. I hv looked everywhere
Can you please send me step by step on the pink teacup please I love this
I am surprised that no shoe soles made of this.Of course in the day when bias ply tires way more readily available but still..Best desert sandal ever.
