Square drills

The square drills are just as the name suggests square. The size of them is 0.25cm x 0.25cm, so they are slightly smaller than the round ones. The square drills top are cut so that they have 9 sides. Which is considerably fewer than the round ones that have 16 sides.

Special shaped drills are, as the name implies, drills that are different in size and have different shapes. These are often used for Diamond Painting with peacock motifs.

Rhinestones drills are reminiscent of glass. They are round and have a flat surface at the top. The rhinestones are usually in combination with the specially shaped drills. Something that most people usually think is that they glitter much more than the usual round drills.
