DIY Wednesday - Mercury Glass
So, I actually had my own tutorial all worked out for you, but I just could not get all the photos I needed in time. So I am going to defer to someone else and share a great idea I have seen in numerous places on the web: DIY Mercury glass.
I used to be an avid thrifter and antique-r, dragging home forsaken pieces and giving them fresh life. Spray paint is an amazing tool in that transformation. Almost anything can be spray painted--even glass! Krylon makes mirror-colored looking glass silver spray paint. Now, it does not look like a mirror, but it is a nice silver color. So, to achieve the look of mercury glass, take a clear glass item {pendant, lamp, bottle, candle holder} and spray it with water. Before the water spots have dried, spray it lightly with Mirror spray paint--allowing the paint to have missing/clear flecks a la mercury glass. Fun and easy! You can read a step by step tutorial on Lovely Little Detail's blog here.
Here is a sneak peak at the crazy vest I made, tutorial coming next Wednesday and the Joyfolie Zoe boots coming early October!
