Have you ever wondered how to drill holes in rocks to make unique natural jewelry? Then today’s post is an answer to that curiosity by a couple of experts on the subject.
The Etsy Metal Blog introduces two artists who create beautiful jewelry from river rocks and generously share their secrets on how they drill holes in them to prepare them for jewelry making or other crafts. This exciting technique might take a little practice, but it will open up a world of new creative opportunities!
I have river stones, and some sea glass that I need to drill holes in. I wonder if this technique would work for sea glass too.
Hi – your link to the rock drilling “Live in Art” is incorrect. It is not .org
I found liveinart.com.au but, I did not find out how to drill a hole into a rock on that site.
Hi Pepper, Thanks so much for letting me know! That used to be the correct link but it seems the author has taken down their website.
I have updated this post to link to another tutorial: http://etsymetal.blogspot.com/2009/07/pebble-drilling-tutorial.html
