Fire in the hole! is what you say before firing a gun or detonating explosives on a set. Well, that was all that was running though my mind when I was hacking up these shotgun shells to make this jewelry! I just love recycling and upcycling!

All I did was cut off the plastic part (I will be sure to post what I make with that soon!) and sanded the remaining bit of plastic flush with the metal edge. I then glued ring blanks to the back for the rings. For the bracelet I taped the bracelet blank to the table first so I was sure to get all the casings aligned, I find it a bit easier to do it this way when gluing multiple items to one project. It also helped keep the glue off the spacer sections.

did you cut of some of the metal parts before you glued the bail? or how and where did you glued it on?

I simply glued a bail on the backside. It was the kind that has a "tab" like shape below the loop. I used jewelry glue and ball chain.
Thanks for the compliment!
