This is such a fun item! Ready? A friend(THANKS ELIZABETH) sent some gun casings. She had drilled a hole in the top and made tassels, so I did the same! I attached the tassel to a small friendship pillow! ALTERED ART for sure! Who would think that a gun shell casing would make something pretty! What a great idea right?? Thanks for sharing Elizabeth! I added some words onto the casing itself too! Just plain FUN!!!!!!!!
Hey, the weekend is here! HURRAY! Time for some art!

First of all, I join in the chorus of approvals on your altered art, gun casing craft!! So adorable, unique and fun.

Then I'll say, I'm glad you got your purse safely, I always worry, when I don't insure it.

But finally, you are so sweet, you don't owe me anything, it was YOUR prize you WON!!! but of course I will treasure anything you made if you already sent it. Thank you for the kind thought. Hugs!
