DIY Shotgun Shell Ornaments

One of my latest DIY creations have been shotgun shell ornaments. After making the string of lights and having a few shells leftover I wasn't sure what to do with them and couldn't let them go to waste!

So here's what you need:

A few of these 

Some of this and a brush

Glitter is a must!

Hot glue gun

Some yarn or twine for hanging the ornament

Now here's what you do:

Coat one shell at a time with your Mod Podge and then cover it with glitter

Shake off the excess glitter and repeat with however many you plan to make. I also put my excess glitter back in the shaker as to not waste any!

The next day you will want to coat each shell again in Mod Podge, over the glitter, and again allow to set overnight. 

Now when they're all dry and ready to be put on the tree you will want to heat up your glue gun first and foremost. Squeeze a dot on one side of the shell and press one end of your yarn or string onto it. Place the other end on the other side, try to get it perfectly adjacent, and squeeze a dot of glue over it. The glue will dry very quick so you will be able to place them on your tree immediately! All that hard work and waiting time has finally paid off! 

I put some up on my tree and I'm going to place a few on my Christmas gifts.
