Recycled shotgun shells become handmade flags, string lights, wreaths, and more. Choose your colors and make each piece your own.

Our pink collection · Breast cancer awareness

The Pink Shop

Handmade pink shell wreaths and lights, ready for your own touch. Start with pink and white, or go all pink with the original metal bases.

Federal introduced its pink Top Gun target shells with an on-box royalty program that directs a portion of ammunition sales to breast cancer research.

Federal’s contribution is tied to the original ammunition sale. Our decor is independently made; buying these wreaths or lights does not create an additional donation to Federal’s program.
