How can I make holes in beads?
I've tried mostly everything, and the google isn't helping much.
How can I make holes in a hard bead?
It's a hard seed, a Huayruro.
I have a small drill with the needles, but it keeps running over. Any good tricks.

Heat the pointed end of a needle until red hot, then apply to bead until it burns through the bead or seed pod. Wrap opposite end with electrical tape or Duct tape to prevent burning your fingers.
Use a small vise to place the bead in before application of the drill and bit to bore the hole. Use a little tape in the jaws to prevent marring the bead sides.
