Mercury glass has so much character and beauty but to buy the real thing can be expensive. No worries, you can DIY the heck out of mercury glass quite easily.
This DIY will show you how to transform a Dollar Store pumpkin but you can use this technique on any glassware, so tailor it to whatever season or holiday you are decorating for.
Check out how beautiful this pumpkin looks after it’s been made-over:

I can imagine using this technique on glass decorations such as Christmas ornaments, candle holders, glass bowls…you name it!

Have you created a mercury glass effect? How?
I’ve never seen one of these at a dollar store, I have one, not dollar store quality.
I have one but I don’t remember where I got it. .. I don’t think it was the dollar store. ..
I have one, but it came from Walmart, years ago
What is looking glass spray paint?
You can purchase this spray paint at Wal Mart or just about any Hardware or Craft Store. It’s by Krylon
sell it at walmart in the paint section around 9 dollars- kryon
i used the rest of the spray paint on kitchen knobs and they look like expensive metal door knobs now!
If you go to the site and look at the post it was from a few years back…possible they had nicer glass pumpkins then. I agree they don’t have those now. 🙂
Why not show the finished project and then if anyone wants the details they can read more without the clickbait?
$5.00 @ Wal-Mart
They have them a Dollar store….usually sell out as soon as they get them…
Looks easy
My glass Pumpkin came from Dunkin Donut in Tyler, Texas full of donuts years age. Probably 35 or 40 years ago. Not dollar stare quality.
beautiful!!! I am so doing this!
Love the mercury glass look.
I have mine for years, it came from DD with Munchkins in it!
mine too, both of them.
I do not intend to do anything to mine, do you???
I’ve only seen these at Walmart, like today I saw some on a bottom shelf
I have one
It is a shame at how many negative comments there are in response to this craft. Come on, we have seen these glass pumpkins around…. My Discount $ store has them … Independent owner … not a chain … try Marshall’s, Christmas Tree Shop, even Walmart or Target.
Great idea, thanks!
Beautiful
