Now you sea it....

I wanted to make
 a sea glass type necklace
I bought a bag of glass accents
at the Dollar store


I picked out a piece
 that was the size
and shape that would
 work for me

the dilemma 
was how to get a hole
in the glass
Then I realized my
Dremel had a glass/ceramic bit


I will tell you
that drilling a hole is a very slowwww
and long process


I did it in between doing other things
once I got the hole in it
 I had some glass baubles

 (thanks to my niece)


 added them to the sea glass pendant
added a chain and viola.....


A holiday inspired version....

  1. Very cute - I've thought of doing something similar but didn't have the nerve to try drilling class.

  6. This is the one and only reason I want a dremel, but I think it's a bit extravagant if this is all I'll ever do with it.

  10. Those necklaces are beautiful!
    I have a suggestion about how to drill glass that will be safer and most likely faster. Use a diamond drill bit. They are not too expensive and come in handy for many projects. Yes you can get one to fit a dremmel no problem. I am Surprised the ceramic bit worked! I have drilled glass a few times and each time it was HARD! Wow! You are STRONG and persistent! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
