How To Drill A Hole Into A Seashell 🐚

[@lindseysartclasses]

Very helpful video. I’ve wanted to do this for ages and you’ve made it look super simple. Can’t wait to make a windchime for my garden with shells I’ve saved up over the years. Thanks again!

Sounds like a great project! Remember to practice on broken shells first!

Thanks for a straight forward way to drill shells. Also the comment about drill speed useful

[@ElizabethMarshallPorter]

This was very helpful! Appreciate your comments re: not needing to submerge the shell in water, and the drill bit size. I'm planning to make a shell garland for Christmas. If you have suggestions about how best to place/hang the shells on the garland, and painting, I'd welcome them!

If you want to paint them I would use acrylic paint. I make a similar garland in my book Boho Chic Jewelry but I solder the shells I do not drill them in that project. Have fun!

Great tips. Thanks !!!❤ 👍

Very useful video. What kind of bit did you use, for wall or for wood? Thank you.

I am trying to drill a hole through a very small operculum. An operculum is the little door that some shells use to close themselves into the shell.

What is the model number for the dremel you are using. Thanks
