MERCURY GLASS PLUS
You are finished! Aren’t these so pretty? And can you believe they were only a buck plus the cost of some spray paint? I love these kinds of projects!!
I also found that holding my jars upside down allowed the excess water solution to trickle out – creating even cooler speckles and designs. But if you want more of a mottled look, you can blot the inside with a paper towel. The vinegar solution really creates those beautiful speckles that I love in mercury glass. I was doing the paper towel blot initially, but honestly, with just the paint and spray method I had better results.

Spray light coats of Metallic Silver all around the inside. You don’t want your paint to fully dry before spraying your vinegar solution.
Here’s where you need to act kind of fast. Step 2: Spray Paint the Inside Metallic Silver followed by vinegar solution We will be spraying the inside of these jars for this project. Then apply painter’s tape all around the outside. The first thing you should do is clean out your jar, inside and out.
