How to drill a hole in ceramic mug.

I headed out to the garage with my diamond drill bit. We share the tools you will need and walk through the steps to drill a hole i. I found these cute ceramic mugs at target here here and here and loved the colors and textures. The angling of the drill will again help to prevent any skittering across the surface.

Start the drill on the lowest rpm and angle your drill on the masking tape to begin the drilling whilst at the same time squeezing water from your sponge directly onto the drilling process. The bit will want to dance around when you feel a groove beginning to bore into the surface slowly raise the angle of the drill. The puncture mark will not only highlight where you intend to drill but it will also prevent the drill from slipping. Drill a lot slower and with less pressure than if you were drilling through wood.

In this diy tutorial we will demonstrate how to drill a hole in a ceramic pot. Nick and i had decided to give each of our grandmothers a cute plant for christmas. I d recommend using a cordless drill that allows you to control the torque and speed with more precision. If you do not have a nail you could use a marker pen to highlight the target.

Lay the bit at a low angle where you want the edge of the hole to be located. So i set out to make a mug into a planter. After buying these i was itching to get some plants potted.
