It has been a long winter, and I have had little time to work on my Bullet Jewelry. I have had some great ideas on items I plan to make for spring. I am thinking about selling some of the cuff bracelets that I have seen other make with the 357 Magnum Bullet Slices. Here is a picture of what they look like:
My idea is to put Bullet Slices and Swarovski Crystals completely around the bracelet. I think I can get about 18-20 bullet slices and crystals on the cuff and I think it will look incredible. Here is a picture of the 357 magnum slices that I have been buying:
They cost $27.99 for a package of 20. I know this is expensive especially because I am basically using an entire package of bullet slices on a single bracelet. I think it is worth it not only because the 357 Magnum is a very popular pistol, but because the ammunition for this gun is really expensive. (I would know, my Husband has one). I think I can sell this bracelet at one of my shows for $90.
I think the E6000 Glue that I have been using for the Bullet Jewelry Earrings that I made last year will work just fine but I think that I am going to use some fine sandpaper to scuff up the metal cuff before I glue the slices on. My husband told me that this would help with the glue holding because it would add more surface area that the glue can grip.
I will post pictures of this project after I finish it. My shows were such a success last year with the Bullet Jewelry earrings and pendants that I made that I am hoping to add a couple of high dollar pieces like this to my inventory.
Thanks for looking and good luck with your own projects
