Hi fellow DIYer's! I am back and this time we will be learning about how to make your own mercury vases. I know this is a something that we have been seeing a lot of recently, I love the vintage feel of mercury glass. And instead of shelling out big bucks to cop a few of these, why not make your own! Pier 1, Pottery Barn and a few other stores sell these for major bucks, and since I am a fan of creating your own unique piece I figured I would give it a shot! What you will need: A wide mouth clear vase Krylon Looking Glass Spray Gold Plate spray ( optional) Water bottle spray (oil and water mix) Clear Glass Vase Coat the inside of the vase with a very light mist of the oil and water mix, to create water beads inside the vase. After this, spray a very light coat of the Looking Glass Spray on the interior of the vase. The trick is keep it light, don’t over spray. Just coat the surface once. Close up of the oil/water spray and looking glass spray Go back in with a cotton ball and randomly pat around the surface. Antique mercury glass is often peeling away or unevenly distributed. And if you really want an authentic look, spray a light coat of gold metallic spray paint over the silver, and pat with cotton ball in a random pattern. When mercury glass ages it often has a gold/silver mix. It turned out a bit more gold than I expected, so if you want to go for the real mercury glass look, I would suggest sticking with only the Looking Glass Spray. Here is the finished look all dressed up! Happy DIY! Juliette
