That's pretty creative... i like it. Reminds me of a Crocodile Dundee necklace. I've got a lot of shotgun hulls that I've been wanting to use somehow, but mine are all red though.
 
Get some clear/colorless shells, shoot them, and then fill them with some brightly colored something.

Or drill the right sized hole thru the (fired) primer and make them fit on existing Xmas lights.
 
Darn rain, only had a chance to cast a handful of these beauties...going into some recycled steel cases.

Friend has a duck club and they took green and red shells and put a string of led lights through them for Christmas.
 
My contribution.... a good friend found this old ammo box, and sent it to me. I made a bottom platform out of pine, bolted some legs on, bought a glass top, and built a false bottom to bring the shadow box floor up a bit. Complete with a gumball machine filled with dummy .380 ammunition, and two vintage powder cans filled with shot as bookends.

^^^I like it. Would go great in our Gun Library. I’d probably fill the gumball machine with either live .22LR or 9mm.
 
Haven't done it yet, but I would like to make one of these.

Need to figure out a smaller size for the bedrooms using unfired shells, for quick access to reloads, no matter where you are. ;)

Looks like a great project for the living room.
I have actually seen a “reloading room” where the entire walls were papered with labels from ammunition boxes, labels from powder, primer, and bullet boxes, etc. And lots of those metal signs.
