I love the look of mercury glass. I have seen it all over in the store. It gives home decor that vintage feel. I thought it would be fun to have some mercury glass mixed into my Holiday decor and with gold coming back in I thought I would try my hand at gold tinted mercury glass.
I started with these glass Christmas trees I found at the thrift store.I washed and dried them first thing. Any glass items will do.
I coated the inside of my trees with Krylon’s Looking Glass spray.
Here is what my glass looked like after 1 coat. I let my glass dry for 15 minutes in my warm oven. My weather has been very cold so I couldn’t let them dry outside. I warmed my oven and turned it off, then placed my trees in the oven. After 3 coats I sprayed the insides with gold metallic paint and let it dry.
After they dry I added a flame less candle lights and a nativity and I am ready for the holidays! I love how these turned out. They add just enough gold to my holiday decor.
Also its that time of the month where I join forces with some of my blog besties and bring to you our round up of Gold Projects! Check them out!
