    This looks so cool! I'm going to do this with the cheap replacement glass globes on my hanging kitchen light fixture. Thanks for sharing such an awesome DIY technique.

    Love this idea! I’d like to do this on clear glass Christmas ornaments in colors like hot pink, orange, etc. Wondering how to add color and how to work in the small space of an ornament. Any idea?

    @Suzen Did you try adding color to your faux mercury glass ornaments? I'm thinking, I'll just try spraying a mist of green, red or gold inside the Ornament and then, follow the directions in the video on the outside,so the color shows through the silvered glass.

    Cool project. one question, does it scratch off when you put make up brushes in them? I was thinking that this might be a good teacher gift, with pencils and pens instead of make up brushes.

    +Kristen Black High! Great question, I am not sure as I gave those vases away, but what I discovered is that you can do the same method that I have done here but on the outside of the vase. It's actually much easier applied outside !!

    Kristen Honey, I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps if we spray a light coat of clear gloss on the inside, it will protect against scratches

    Did you put real candles in these or is that the flameless candles? I made some of these today and I wasn't sure if it was safe because of the flammable paint.

    I put real candles in, but my jars have wide openings. Not sure if that makes a difference! They make great displays on their own if you're not comfortable lighting them! I only used small tea candles and haven't burned them since this video. I have better smelling candles :P

    Hi. I just purchased a can.. and the can instructs the painted surface should not be in contact with food or live plants. maybe if applied on outside. Although it may not be as shiny on the outside.

    you can definitely do the same technique on the outside of a vase if you want to use it for fresh flowers, it looks pretty that way too and if it it's as shiny as you'd like, you can add a shine clear coat
