HOW TO MAKE MULTI-COLORED MERCURY GLASS

SELECT CLEAR GLASS VASES OR BOTTLES FOR YOUR MERCURY GLASS PROJECT.

I found the cheese ball dome with base on my junk shelf. Don’t remember where I purchased it.

I also had this little jar from Dollar Tree and another found treasure to work with. You don’t need a junk stash just run to the thrift store or Dollar Store for project pieces.

MIST THE GLASS WITH DROPLETS OF VINEGAR

First, make sure your glass piece is sparkling clean. I use Simple Green to clean just about everything.

SPRAY THE  GLASS WITH METALLIC PAINTS

I went through my hardware stash and found some less ornate pulls. I think they will go with the new paint and the new look better than the original hardware.

Immediately after misting the glass with vinegar, spray the inside of the glass with Krylon Looking Glass spray paint just lightly. Let it sit for a minute, then flip right side up for a minute.
