Remove the top part of a cello, keeping the bridge, tailpiece, and fingerboard intact. Once you remove the front body of the cello, apply a layer of water sealant to the inner parts. Water sealant will prevent your wooden cello from any damage or degradation due to water. Add a layer of pebbles and rocks to help you with the drainage and then begin your planting process.

6. Half-Guitar Planter

Use a chisel or power saw to cut the half body of a guitar and utilize the space to grow plants or herbs. This is a great recycling project that gives you a unique planter to display at your porch. Since a guitar is an all-wooden instrument, you must layer the inner part with ample water sealant.

7. Horn Instrument Planter

Just like a trumpet, a natural horn instrument or records player can also be upcycled into a musical planter. To add plants, use the mouthpiece and the corpus of the horn. You can choose any variety of horn instrument and convert it into a planter accordingly.
