A creative, handmade use for a bullet casing

A simple and creative way to make something you can constantly carry around and show off to others. This piece was created because I originally wanted to make a different project where I would use crystals and the bullet casings. Instead, I looked down and realized I had a big collection of beads in various shapes, sizes, and colors. I get a lot of compliments on this keychain and you will too.

    Firstly, start with a bullet casing..I had a bullet belt which I used instead of individually using bullet casings. I took needle-nose pliers and took apart casings off of the belt. If you are not already using casings with holes in them, you will need to insert a hole to put your key ring through.

    Take superglue and dot it on to the casing where you would like the individual beads to go. The size, color, and placement of the beads onto the casing is completely up to you.

    Allow time for the glue to dry, attach the key ring and viola!
