Bullet Shell/Casing Earrings

First off, I'm not 100% sure if they're called shells or casings or shell casings. But don't bash me for that because I'm not super geeky about such things.

Well, anyways. They look kinda cool, and they're easy to make!

Stuff You Need

Making Holes

Use a drill or a punch to make the holes on the end of the shell casing. If you want to make multiple pairs of earrings, now's the time to drill like 10 of them.

The Beads

Close off the end of a wire and put your bead on it. On top of the bead, put your shell. Close off the top and attach an earring hook.

And do that again for the other earring.
