I'm making my mother a sea shell wind chime for Mother's Day. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could put a small hole in the shells without breaking them?

Thanks to anyone who can help,
Brittany from Florida

I just used a glover. This is a three sectioned pointed needle used with leather. My crab shell did not break due to the sharpness of the needle. For thicker shells, ie: mussels, etc. use a fine drill bit. These have worked for me. Good luck.

Use a VERY small drill bit and drill a hole.

I found it easy to use a dremel tool, to drill the holes in the shells. It works pretty good

You have too use a small drill bit & you have too turn it by hand or the shell will break. Have fun now they are fun too make.
