Faux Mercury Glass from Pinterest

Got this great vase at a garage sale for $2.00.  Followed the tutorial on Pinterest for making faux mercury glass--mask off the outside, spray a couple of very light coats of Looking Glass spray paint by Krylon to the interior, (it is very runny paint, it will drip if you put too much), and then follow immediately with a fine mist of half water/vinegar mixture.  Wipe with a paper towel lightly, and just parts of the paint will come off.  Allow to dry--if you like you can coat with a clear coat, I did not do this extra step.




It looks great for a fraction of the cost of getting one at Pottery Barn, especially if you use the online 40% off coupon to Hobby Lobby. (BTW, if you just show them the coupon on your phone, you don't have to print the coupon!  Awesome!)






Love, love it! 
Peace, friends!
