Introduction: Bullet Bracelet

About: Love to try and win Instructable contests!

Ever wondered what you could do with empty bullet shells? This is an instructable showing you how to create an awesome, bendable, unisex bracelet. You'll need:

- 2 empty bullet shells

- Shoelace or Paracord (any hollow cord that can be threaded)

- Wire (any bendable kind but not to thick)

- Craft or Super Glue

- Scissors

- Pliers

Step 1: Cutting

Firstly, cut your shoelace or paracord at your desired length using a pair of scissors. If you want a tight bracelet/band measure it around your wrist. Now cut the wire the same length as the lace using pliers.

Step 2: Threading

This is the most difficult and fiddly part of the task. Lightly pinch open your shoelace/paracord and thread your wire whether it be a pipe cleaner or coat hanger through.

Step 3: Glueing

Finally, squirt some glue into the empty bullet shell and then place it over your bracelet. Repeat this on the other end. Leave your work to dry.

Step 4: Done!

Your band/bracelet is complete! You can now shape/bend it around your wrist or ankle. Wear it around and experiment with other materials!
