Seaglass11.JPGGrab all of those beautiful pieces of sea glass you've picked up (or bought) over the years and get ready to make them into stunning one-of-a-kind necklaces to keep and give away.  Learn the "secret" of how to drill your own hole through sea glass!  Then, just slip on a jump ring (or make your own bail like I did here), slide it on your favorite chain and...BLAM!  Gorgeous! Just in time for summer.Seaglass01.JPGTools
