My dad and I drill glass often as we repurpose and build lamps and he uses a diamond cut drill bit which is for glass, porcelain things like that and it works great and yes, always use water. We usually use a spray bottle with water and as he is drilling I am spraying and I am sure you ladies are safety conscience just as I am, my dad, not so much, but gloves and safety glasses are a good practice, those small shards of glass tend to go everywhere especially when your drilling outside.

I'm on my third batch because I've been selling them at consignment stores and fairs. You are absolutely right, it takes a lot of time to do the drilling. but it's fun, creative, gives me something to do and I earn a few extra dollars. I'm disabled and you don't get much on disability. the extra comes in handy. People love these year round blooms. No two are the same. I get most of my plates etc. from thrift stores and yard sales :) Great post, I'll be trying some of your others.<br /><br />TiffanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4634013123232845968.post-39160248409337005052013-02-12T18:22:34.347-08:002013-02-12T18:22:34.347-08:00Very creative and stunning!
