During the holiday season I find myself wanting sparkle in the house. Sparkly ornaments, sparkly…
Making Mercury Glass
This season I just have the urge to have mercury glass in my home. It’s a warm and classy look on objects that can bring lots of character to your fall and holiday decorating.
And the best part is, it’s so easy and affordable to make. Do you love mercury glass? Have you ever made your own? Now is your chance. I rounded up some tutorials and had to share them.
Karen at A Stylish Interior made a few pieces and tried a little gold look on some of them. They came out just perfect.
Birgit at Birgit’s Daily Bytes has not one but three ways to make mercury glass. These are all worth trying and easy too.
Anna at Take the Side Street has a tutorial that results in fabulous mercury glass. I think she has found the secret.
And KarriAnne at Thistlewood Cottage made mercury glass on a pumpkin too. Perfect for this time of year.
I tried to fake mercury glass in the past and think I was a little off the mark. But I just might have to try again. Craft practice makes perfect right?
If you’ve made it or have it in your home this season, leave a link, I’d love to see. Do you love mercury glass as much as I do?

Laughing at myself!
A few years ago, before I even knew DIY & Craft blogs existed, I purchased this really cute, fluted metallic lime green & silver votive holder. I eagerly waited for dark to light a candle. All I could think of when I viewed it lit up was the store was selling pretty banged up merchandise! The insides appeared to have been flaked off! Yeesh!
Fast forward to my introduction to the world of blogs and I find out it was faux mercury glass and supposed to look like that!
I think it’s time to try it myself and see what happens!
