JIMT Idea: Bullets
Every week we look at a different item that you can save from the trash pile ~ find in a junk drawer or antique store ~ and then transform into something useful or fun for your home or closet or jewelry box. This week is bullets. YEP, bullets.
My Grandpa Summers re~loads his own bullets for target shooting and he always has empty shells available. Those empty shells are perfect for Junk Jobs big and small… mostly jewelry to which there seems to be no limit of ideas. Here are a few that we found from some the very best re-purposing folks in the marketplace.
Bullet Cuff from Western Vintage Revival
This is just one of the stunning new pieces from the Chris Morrison collection over at Western Vintage Revival. Fantastic!!
Repurposed Bullet Casing ~ Twin Serif Necklace
~ from Found Made New on ETSY
Brass Bullet Casing Necklace from Rebecca Ward Jewellry
This one is called ‘Shot to the Heart’.
Shotgun Shell Belt Buckle from A Well Dressed Bullet
This website has an extensive selection of BULLET jewelry & other items ~ perfect gifts when you’re shopping for Dad!!
Bullet Cufflinks from Cuffwear
… and this website has an amazing selection of Cufflinks. You know I love a man who can pull off blue jeans and pearl snaps everyday, but when he does get all dressed up then cufflinks are required. My favorites on this site were the Level Cufflinks ~ perfect for a handyman when he’s out on the town!!
Soooo…. want to Do-It-Yourself?? You can learn how to make your own BULLET EARRINGS or NECKLACE right HERE.
