HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MERCURY GLASS VASE

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.

DIY- How to make your own gold candelabra

I have been working on creating the perfect centerpiece for my wedding, I made a previous post about using candelabra's to cut floral costs for the reception. So.... in the spirit of DIY, I ordered this candelabra from Save On Crafts (2 for $49 each) to see if I could use it to create a beautiful sample centerpiece....

 Now, it was pretty in white but since my color scheme is Blush, Champagne and Gold I decided to make it gold! I went to Micheal's and purchased an Antique Gold Metallic Finish spray paint (see below) and went to work!
