shotgun shell matchbox

Hi
I will show you how to makes simple shotgun shell matchbox
Firstly, you need two same sized shells
Cut with scissors along the lines where the top of the shell was folded to accommodate the pellets
Squeeze these flaps in habit then your done, simply put your matches in the cut up shell and slide the other shell over it. It should look like this

if you warm one of the shells with a lighter using a pair of pliers you can pull off one of the bases and use that as a cap

Tried that...... Thumbs re-attached now ..... using spent shells next time!
