Bullets and Bracelets

A while ago I decided to do a little project. I started making this post and never got back to it. So.. this is old news. Oh well..

Ben shot a gun one time and collected 2 bullet halves afterward.
After trying many different ways to heat them, we finally used a blow torch. Held the bullet up to the flame and the lead dripped out into a perfect little droplet. The outside copper layer was leftover so we smashed it...


These are the shapes the lead made once they cooled...


We drilled holes in the sides so I could put it on a bracelet..


Ta-da! I'm wearing a bullet Ben shot around my wrist.
And when I say 'we' this whole time I mean, my Dad and my Grampa did all the scary stuff. But it was all my idea and this is definitely my most favorite thing I've made. :)
