Are there any household, everyday objects I can use to make small holes (about a millimeter in diameter) in plastic objects? I want to turn them into charms. I don't have a screwdriver, and I doubt there are any screwdrivers with drills that small anyway.

Haha, I meant drills with drills that small, not screwdrivers.

Use a straight pin. If you're punching holes in plastic, hold the pin with a pair of pliers, heat the pin, and punch on through. Trim the melted excess off with an X-acto knife.

If you're not looking to spend a lot of money on a drill, they make this gadget called a pin vise that lets you hand drill holes. Should be around 15 USD, give or take. Also, you should be able to find a set of tiny drill bits (usually sizes 61-80) at the same hobby store. The bits will set you back about 20 USD, but I think you can buy them individually for less. A size 77 bit will give you a hole sized for 22g wire--I think a 68 will give you a hole for 20g.

Screwdrivers don't have drills. Umm, use a nail and hammer and poke a hole if it's plastic.

They do make drill bits that small, although you might need a smaller drill, like a dentist drill or maybe one found at a hobby shop.

Try a tapestry needle. Hold it with a pliers and heat the end and try to pass it through the plastic.

Go to a hobby shop. They have items that will allow you to make holes in tiny objects. You will also need a good magnifying lens.

Have you tried using a pin, or a thumbtack type of thing?
