How to drill resin and acrylic to make jewelry ?

You will love the design and the original style of these two pairs of earrings: one with big links and the other with hollow circles. The trend is always towards large links and XXL jewellery, you have the perfect combo with these two earrings.

We give you two different tips to make a hole in resin and acrylic. You should know that resin is easier to drill than acrylic.
In the first part of the video, we use a hand chuck to manually drill the resin. This material is very easy to drill. For the second part, we use the Dremel Pen+, the acrylic material is harder and therefore more difficult to drill.
It is possible that the acrylic accumulates on your drill bit and blocks the drilling, you just have to remove the excess and you will be able to continue drilling. We can't repeat it enough, be careful with your fingers during these steps.

With a little patience and practice, you will easily be able to make holes to create DIY costume jewelry.

Tutorial steps

Step 1

Make a pre-hole in the center of the pendant for orientation. Start drilling with the hand chuck.

Add an open ring and an ear stud.

Step 2

To drill the acrylic ring, use the Pen +. Be careful with your fingers!
If acrylic accumulates on the drill bit, remove the excess material before continuing to drill.

Use a jewelry stud to make the ring, then hang the ear stud.
