I love the word “faux.” It makes “fake” sound fancy, since it’s French. We should turn all pejorative words French so they sound better. N’est-ce pas?
Anyway, I wanted to make some faux mercury glass, so I checked out some tutorials online. All of the how-to’s seem to use a mirror finish spray paint, and I couldn’t find it at my local crafts store, so I did my own version of mercury glass that I think is actually easier because there’s no spray painting involved. I just use Mod Podge, paint and glitter. I bought a bunch of dollar store glassware, and each was transformed in a matter of minutes. For the step by step tutorial, check out my article on eHow.
