RobRez 1,895 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) Every year I try to make one more strand of Shot-shell Christmas lights! It is super easy. Just punch holes in the top of the shells, slice them open, to the top, and place over light and cord! Although I am sure that any of you out there worth yer weight in salt, already do this....... Have a merry christmas and be thankful for what you have, and remember to most importantly....share with those that have not!

akastormi 617 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 LOL I made a string of them this past weekend. I get the battery opperated rice size light strings. Re crimp the empty casesand hot glue gun the light in. I use Winchester AA and Remington low brass so I can alternate red and green. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, the small battery operated strands work great for making a shotshell wreath. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 With lights like that i might actually decorate for christmas I'll look for some lights to make you some then. What colors do you want? I have clear, green, red, & some other colors. Black might not be the best though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
