Faux Mercury Glass Ornaments
I’ve always loved the look of mercury glass ornaments, and had no idea that look was so easy to recreate. See the secret "ingredient" here!

Rust-Oleum's Mirror Effect spray paint is the secret to turning these plain glass ball ornaments into faux mercury glass ornaments!
I sprayed a light coat of Rust-Oleum Mirror Effect Paint on the outside of the glass ball ornament, spritzed it immediately with a spray bottle filled with 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water, and blotted it with a frayed paper towel. I waited a couple of minutes between coats and did three coats of spraying, spritzing and blotting total.
The beautiful faux mercury glass result!
