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!
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!

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
What is the make/model of Dremel you are using? Thank you for the instructional video!
No idea, I got it probably 20 years ago!
Very useful video. What kind of bit did you use, for wall or for wood? Thank you.
Doesn't matter, any will work
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.
That sounds risky, good luck!
What is the model number for the dremel you are using. Thanks
