Silver Bell Bottles...

Even though I have had several craft project failures, I decided to give it one more try. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment! :-)
On my Pinterest board, I have several DYI projects for Mercury Glass Mason Jars. But I didn't want to do mason jars because I love my little blue mason jars and have no desire to change their color. And I didn't want to go out and buy new mason jars for this project.

During one of our snowstorms, when I had cabin fever, I convinced the hubster to take me to Walmart to make a purchase...or two. While there, I found these cute little bottles and decided they would be perfect for my project. I also purchased the other materials I would need.





These bottles can be found at Walmart and are so inexpensive. Truly!





On the Kindergarten Difficulty Scale or KDS, this project rates about a 2. If you can press a button, you too can have these little jewels in your home.
As you all know (because everyone but ME has created a mercury glass project) you mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. You spray the mixture on the bottle and them immediately follow that with the Looking Glass spray paint. If you check out the link on the first photo, you will find she did it a different way. That's not the way I did it, I just liked that photo better. :-)
Wait for the paint to dry and then wipe off to pop the water bubbles and you have a mercury glass look. Well, I did that, and I didn't like the look.
After the first coat of everything dried, I sprayed on another coat. Vinegar and water followed by a coat of paint. Let it dry. Then a 3rd coat, followed by a 4th coat. Only after the 4th coat was I satisfied with the look.





I really do like this better than the regular mercury glass look. I knew I would be using them to hold silverware and wanted them to stand out rather than blend in.





You can always add more coats of the paint or less coats. As I found out, there is no right or wrong to this technique!
