I was given a bunch of used .38 blank shell casings, and was told to "be creative." I first attempted to use the casing as a pen tip, which I've seen done with actual bullets, but it didn't work out with the blank, because the little flaps that hold the propellant inside the casing kept flexing. So I chose the second best option, and made some slimlines using the casing as a feature cap. This weekend, I'll post a picture of one I made that has a clip.
