There are several ways to remove the bullet, but as you're doing decorative things with it I'm assuming that the bullet itself has to stay clean and pretty looking.

With that in consideration, a inertia type bullet puller (looks like a plastic hammer with a collet under a screw down fastener on one end, google inertia bullet puller) would be your best bet. Should be around $15 at the local gunstore.

The propellant makes great lawn fertilizer. You will also have to decap the live primer. Again, Lee Precision makes a universal decapper for cheap.

Getting the bullet back in the case is a little more difficult unless you're into reloading or know people who are into reloading. Utilizing a press would be easiest, but I'm sure there are some hand type presses that would work just great. Check out Lee Precision website for some cheap options.

Other than that, you might need dies to get the bullet properly seated in the case.

I'd look for someone that reloads to help ya out.
