Faux Mercury Glass Ornament {PB Knockoff}

Once again, Pottery Barn has inspired me to create something fabulous!  Today I am going to share with you my Faux Mercury Glass Ornament!

 Wanna see a pic of my original inspiration?

 Here’s what you need to make your own!

Power drill with 1/32 drill bit

17/32 inch screw eyes

Plastic polar bear figurine

Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint

Ribbon or twine (to hang)

Ever since the foot going through the glass stitches incident {you can read about that here}, I am not allowed to use power tools.  {Or any tools for that matter..LOL}  So I enlisted the help of my non-bloggin’ hubby to help me drill a hole in my polar bear.  Find the bear’s center of gravity and use that as a mark of where to drill your hole.

Next, I screwed in one of the screw eyes until it was secure.

Then the bear and I took a little trip to the spray paint area in my garage.  I applied five light coats of Krylon Looking Glass spray and let it dry over night.

Be sure to use a sealant after the paint has dried (otherwise it will leave marks).

Once the ornament was dry, I attached some red ribbon to hang it from the tree.

I ADORE this ornament!  Personally, I think my Faux Mercury Glass Ornament looks better than the original!
