She makes jewelry from SEA GLASS and shells by drilling holes in them. I&#8217;ve made seashell decorations from shells that already have holes in them \u00a0(like my sand dollar and starfish garland) or with hot glue (like my Santa hat) but I&#8217;ve never drilled holes in shells to string or wire into jewelry or decorations. So here ya go&#8230; meet Gwen! She&#8217;s going to tell you how to drill holes in the SEA GLASS or any shell!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PhKNjRedPxw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that fantastic?
