You need a hole in a shell to make a necklace or hole in a piece of glass which you found on the beach? In this short video I will show you how to drill holes into glass and shells and what doesn’t work… 1. The first step is to get the proper tools for the job. Here you will be required to buy an assortment of glass/tile bits that can be easily found online or at a local hardware store. 2. Place the glass on a very flat surface where it will be supported well so that it does not break. I like to place the glass or shell under water, which keeps it cool. You can you also spray the glass with water, but I prefer submerging it into water. Stay clear of the corners and measure the location of the hole ensuring that you stay as far as possible from edges and corners. 3.The final step is the actual drilling. Use firm, steady pressure and moderate speed (600 to 700 rpm) until you’re nearly done. Note that the glass should always be cool as this will help to avoid breakage of the glass/shell.
