Homemade Faux Mercury Glass. Mercury glass vases can be so lovely, especially when, as shown in the image above, they are paired with candles. This trick uses just Looking Glass spray paint, vinegar, and water.
I know that you can turn regular clear glass into faux mercury glass with mirror spray paint, but I wanted a mercury glass pumpkin for Halloween, and I haven't been able to find any plain glass pumpkins that weren't super expensive also.
I'm showing you the easiest way to make DIY faux mercury glass.
This method will leave you with a reflective aged or antique mirror look. Tape and cover with paper, the outside of the jar or vase to prevent overspray on to the object. The technique looks stunning both in large vases and small votives.
