    Those are great planters Gardengirl. I can't work out how it's done but I'm sure if I show OH he'll be able to work it out

  • It was me chicky I was the one cutting them up with a stanley knife after I figured out how to do it, drawing around a plate to shape the petals

    Here is the thread I did before for you all to look at

    Well apart from the shrew, there were some lovely iris/crocus affairs, and some mini nerines.  I took photos for you - so i suppose i will have to detach my rear from the sofa and go upload them for you ...... Might take some time ......

     Just realised that i failed miserably to get the labels in - so you will just have to be content with the pretty flowers!!!

    Very nice chicky and gardengirl.
  • Nutcutlet you may be able to work it out from my other thread, drawn shape wrong way so will end up looking like a flower when cut out if not you end up with points and then when turned inside out the tyre is much bigger

    watch this

  • Gardengirl they look really really fab. Where did you get the tyres from? (Don't say a car!!!) had a v stressful night here lo has thrown a mega strop and omg what stress..... Chicky gutted we didn't go to Wisley today but Sunday is swimming day... If ur ever planning a trip on a Monday or a Friday let me know coffee on me! Well must cut all the leaves off my hellibores this week will try to do it tomorrow... They all have fab fat buds waiting to explode, even though I know it won't be for a month or so can't wait.... Took a look at my lilac today which is fully budded it's in a pot by the garden room and it's burst through the plastic and is now growing in the ground. I'm torn with what to do with it leave it as it does look great and somehow try to mask the pot or to move it mmmmmmmmm........

  • Love the tyre pots garden girl and your pics Chicky.
