DIY Mercury Glass Tree
I was browsing in Walmart the other day and found a large glass Christmas tree jar. The top comes off so I guess you can fill it with cookies or whatever. I filled it with creativity and made it into a DIY mercury glass Christmas tree!
The tree cost me $3.97! I plan on getting a few of the medium and small sizes too and using them on the mantel at Christmas.
I used the same method to mercury glass it as I did on my candle stick except I sprayed the inside of the container instead of the outside. Basically it's just a little mirror finish spray paint, a little vinegar, a paper towel, and that's it!
I put a little LED tea light inside to make it glow and added some greens (courtesy of Hurricane Sandy) and some silk flowers I made. Oh and the pine cones were from the 1000's Ellie filled my purse with during Molly's soccer game. Startin' em young. Pretty soon Ellie will have her own blog: Days of Poop and Tantrums.
So run out to Walmart and make some too! Then blog about it and show me!
Cheers!
