Mercury Glass Pumpkins

I've been in love with everything Mercury Glass 

and have been dying to try creating something on my own.

 I found clear glass pumpkins at Walmart for $6.00 (sorry, no before picture!)

 The Mercury Glass Pumpkins are the perfect fall addition to my mantle 

in addition to the little round fish bowl glasses I found at the Dollar Store.

 If you interested in making your own you'll need the following:

• Krylon Looking Glass Mirror Like Spray Paint
• A mixture of equal parts warm water and vinegar in a spray bottle
• A glass jar, container or Pumpkin!

 I started with this clear glass round bowl. 

I cleaned it out with a damp cloth and then made sure it was dry.

 I lightly spritzed the inside of the bowl. Being careful not to get it to wet.

 I lightly sprayed the inside of the bowl with the mirror spray paint.

 I let it dry an hour or so before I sprayed it again. 

I probably sprayed it a total of 3 or 4 times 

ensuring I hit every spot on the inside of the bowl and sometimes 

swirling the paint around and turning the bowl upside down so the extra paint could drip out.

 I love the way it looks on the outside with the little speckles.

 And each one is a little different.

Now head on over to Wal-mart and make your own Mercery Glass pumpkins! 

Let me know how yours turns out!
