If it's possible to drill a hole in a cabochon, then it should also be possible to enlarge the hole of a bead. In this way, the hole could be optimally adapted to each gemstone bead! How would you do that? A tutorial on this subject would be great.
Omg you so simplified this beyond my best beliefs! I looked when I first started and good glory (no offence) I don’t need 40 min of everything but what I want to see! Thank you sooo much especially like the tape bit and seeing the drill bit you choose. Do you have any idea how many I broke because I picked the wrong one!
I purchased the tips separately on Amazon. The drill I got somewhere here locally, since I am in Australia I needed one that would work with our Australian power outlets.
@@bcvids9 Dremel tool they come in smallersize just for crafts if your hands are small like mine the drill bits were included, although you may have to purchase that particular dril bit for stones separately Im not sure.
@OxanaCrafts I have so many undrilled cabs, and wish I could drill them, but I mainly prefer the side drill style at the top. I know you can purchase them like this, but when I first got into this, I never got cabs like that. Was just curious. Would love to see an attempt if you ever do.
If they split or shatter youre pushing too hard. Doesnt matter the material, the principle is the same. If you're forcing the bit, youre going too hard and risk it. Let the bit/blade do thr work
Thank you!!!!
I have a lot of cabochons without holes.
This is so helpful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Definitely going to try this!!!! Thanks for sharing 💗
OMG, that’s the tape make it so the drill bit doesn’t slip? I’ve always had problems with slippage! Never thought of this
I actually don't know, I did the tape so I can mark the spot where I wanted the hole to go
@@OxanaCrafts Ahhhh I see! I am keen to try it next time to see if it helps. Thank you :)
Good catch.
I like this ty for sharing
You are very welcome!

I have never tried that, but yes if your drill bit is wider than the hole you can widen the hole in the same manner as drilling the hole
@@OxanaCrafts thank you 😃
It is possible but unlike factories having large machines specific to drill beads, doing it at home can easily crack the beads.

How do you determine which bit to use? Are you applying pressure while you drill?
I am a novice at drilling, I just picked a bit that seemed small enough, I am applying light pressure
Can u do glass like that as well?
I haven't tried myself, but I believe you can, just make sure the drill bits say "diamond" so they are strong for glass.
Can you refer me to a beginners guide on wrapping with wire. How much wire to use or the size to use ?
@@cathymurillo5695 check on Oxanas channel she has an extensive video library including those marked for beginners.
Where did you get the drill? Did it come with all the tips?
I purchased the tips separately on Amazon. The drill I got somewhere here locally, since I am in Australia I needed one that would work with our Australian power outlets.
@@OxanaCrafts Thank u for the info! Can I ask what type of drill it is? I'm in Canada and I want to get 1 for myself

Donde consigo esa máquina agujereadora? Gracias por respondee
I am in Australia, so I got in here locally from an Australian website. It is called a Dremel, so you can search for that where you live.
Is it difficult to drill it through the other way? Where the hole isn't on the face?
Side drill? It might be difficult to hold the stone and get the hole to go through straight, I haven't tried

@@midnightbelthere is a drimel holder clamper you might look into
Why in water ?
the stone can heat up from the friction and crack, water keeps it cool.
What is the blue on the cab?
painter's tape, so I can draw the spot where I want the hole to be
What voltage is your dremel
I am not sure, it is 7750 model, I got it here in Australia
That all depends on what you have for a stone. Some will split, some will shatter, and some will be just fine.
If they split or shatter youre pushing too hard. Doesnt matter the material, the principle is the same.

It must have been plastic you drill through. Agate takes much longer to drill through.
This one is a Feldspar. It took a while, I didn't include the full drilling footage in the video so it wouldn't be too long and boring to watch.

Thank you. This video was awesome & easy to understand.
What size is it?
the drill bit? I am not sure, they were not labelled with sizes so I just grabbed one that looked like it would work
