  1. It takes a special drill bit that can be purchased at your local building supply store like Home Depot or Lowe's.


  2. There are special appear point drill bits for boring holes in glass. You will need to use a handheld bit brace or a power drill set to run at a low speed.

  3. Don't bother. It's a lot better to get candle holders that are made for wall mounting like these for example:

    They could probably be found at a number of local stores like Target and many stores in malls.

  4. They have drill bits made just for glass at Home Depot and Lowes. All you have to do is pick the size. That's what I did.

  5. Use a carbide bit and drill at a low speed.  Spray with a light oil to lubricate the bit every few seconds.  Don't be in a hurry,  going slow will help prevent breakage.  If you really like this candle holder you might not want to drill it.  Its very easy to break glass when drilling.
