LOVE what you did with your hanging tire planter! What's that dangling at the bottom?

It's just one of those wind spinner thingamajigs! Cost me 89 cents on clearance. I thought it added some color. LOL

I've seen a lot of Tyre Plant Pots but these are some of the nicest I've seen. Just wonderful colors. If anyone is interested here's how to do it - http://hometipster.com/how-to-make-a-tyre-pl...
Have a great day :) Graham

Love, Love, Love! I usually hate Tyre Plant Pots (love the twist on the spelling Hometipster) but these are actually attractive. But I am glad that you put them on what appears to be the back patio (private) so as not to offend neighbors! Ha!! Great eye for color!

Jeanette, you're right about keeping them in the back yard. Not everyone would enjoy them.

It was the tyre planter tha caught my eye-clever to use a bike tire. Love how you dyed the curtains too. Brightens up the whole room!
