Do you have some empty ammo shells laying around? If so, make this cute fall wreath to hang on your door! I'm sure it will keep unwanted pests away!
My husband loves his guns and I love reusing things, so when he took me on one of our first dates to go shooting, I just couldn't resist picking the empty shells off of the ground. After displaying them in a jar for some time, I decided they needed to be used.
Super simple project. I first took the fabric leaves and hot glued them to the bottom two layers of the wreath ring. The leaves alone would have made a cute little wreath. I then glued the ammo to the top layer of the wreath. I did my best to keep them in line as I glued them.
Warning: As you can see in this photo, a couple of the ammo shells have fallen off. The hot glue does a great job at keeping the ammo on there if you are hanging it on a wall. A regularly used door may require a stronger glue.
Enjoyed the project?
