DIY Mercury Glass Candleholders
(source)
The Everyday Bride recreated vintage mercury glass votives by using a spray paint called Looking Glass, by Krylon. This spray paint can be found at any craft store, such as Michael’s. Buying a few cans of spray paint is more cost effective than buying real vintage mercury glass pieces and the results are virtually the same.
What a glamorous way to jazz up those ol’ boring clear glass votives!
