Purple Blank 12 Gauge Shotgun Shells – Hand-Polished Silver Bottoms, No Markings, Qty 12

These are 12 empty, once-fired 12 gauge shotgun shells in a vivid purple with no printed markings on the hulls — a clean, blank canvas for boutonnieres, DIY projects, or anything where you don't want brand text showing. Every shell has the same matching headstamp on the base (brand name not printed, but consistent across the lot), and the larger silver-tone bottoms are individually hand-polished and inspected for rust, dents, dings, and scratches — that extra hand-finishing is why this lot costs more than an unpolished equivalent.

Popular for lapels, DIY boutonnieres, card holders, prom accessories, and rustic wedding and western-themed decor. Want to see a full project? Check out our DIY Shotgun Shell Boutonnieres for Rustic Weddings guide.

FAQs

Why don't these shells have any brand markings? These are blank hulls with no printed text, giving you a clean surface for boutonnieres, jewelry, or any project where you don't want brand text showing. Every shell still has a matching headstamp on the base, even though the manufacturer isn't printed on the hull itself.

Why do these cost more than a raw, unpolished lot? The silver-tone bottoms are individually hand-polished, printing is removed from the hull — that extra hand-finishing work is reflected in the price.

Are these good for weddings or boutonnieres? Yes — blank purple hulls are a popular choice for lapels, DIY boutonnieres, card holders, prom accessories, and rustic or western wedding decor.

Can I request a specific color, gauge, or quantity? Yes — special requests for color, gauge, or quantity are always welcome. Contact us before ordering and we'll do our best to accommodate.
