you can get it at various handicraft stores like, Hobby Lobby, and
such . sometimes in the leaded glass section. they also usually have
in it in adhesive tape of various widths. intriguing notion, but
can't see worth the effort except as personal cool self expression
and enrichment. to drill glass, you must continually spray with water
to cool the bit and glass. i've used the "so-called" carbide glass
bits from Home Depot and they only last through 6 or so holes before
becoming dull. hard to find diamond bits in small sizes, but even
they need water flow.
