Mercury "faux" glass!!


 This is one of those simple little DIY crafts that can make a big impact in your decor.  Silver mercury glass is tres popular these days but if you don't want to shell out mucho bucks for a collection of it, I say-make it yourself!!  Any glass you have lying around is perfect for this project.  A can of silver metallic paint is really all you need to buy. It sounds silly, but just spray the glass and voila, you have a beautiful faux mercury piece!!  It's amazing what spray paint can do for your home and psyche!!  Gotta fly-Claire
