Mercury Glass

This project came from what country people would call a high class problem. I had a ton of clear glass vases on hand, most of them from flower bouquets I had received over the years. I first saw this project on HGTV, and saw many variations on the web and in different craft blogs, here is the one I went with this time but it is a pretty easy technique and there are endless possibilities for different variations so Im pretty sure i will be doing more projects like this:

Materials:

Clean glass container or vase

Spray paint (in this case i used krylon bright silver metallic and krylon hammered texture in black as n accent color)

1. prepare a well ventilated area with a drop cloth, also make sure that your glass container is very clean.

2. evenly spray paint the inside of the glass container, if drips occur turn container horizontal and rotate until the drips have spread out. Repeat this step as needed until the inside is covered.

- in this variation I added a few sprays of my accent color right after this step, for a more vintage look stuff a plastic bag in the container while the paint is still wet it gives a great textured look.
