DIY Mercury Glass Ornaments

I’ve been wanting to do a different kind of Christmas theme this year, but y’all, ornaments are so dang expensive! And of course, I love the really vintage, expensive ones. So I figured why couldn’t I just make my own mercury glass ornaments instead?

You may remember I did a few mercury glass pumpkins for the fall a few weeks back. So I thought I could recreate this process using glass ornaments instead.

And it turns out, I’m right! I absolutely love the way they turned out. I got the vintage look without the crazy price tag!

The good news is that you can easily make these DIY ornaments too! It only requires a handful of materials and a little bit of time, and that’s it!

I am loving the rustic look to these ornaments!

Materials Needed For DIY Vintage Mercury Glass Ornaments:

  • Clear Glass Ornaments
  • Metallic Spray Paint
  • White Distilled Vinegar
  • Spray Bottle
  • Rub n Buff
Materials Needed for Mercury Glass Ornaments
Everything you need to get started here!

Spray The Ornaments With Vinegar

The first thing you need to do to create beautiful mercury glass ornaments, is to remove all the tops from the ornaments. Set them aside for later.

Next, pour the white distilled vinegar into a spray bottle. Then, you’re going to want to spray the ornament with vinegar all over.

Vintage Mercury Glass Ornaments

Spray The Ornaments With Spray Paint

Right after spraying the ornament with vinegar, you need to go back over it and spray it with your metallic spray paint.

Don’t worry about if the ornament is still wet, that is what you want. Don’t let the vinegar dry on the ornament.

DIY Mercury Glass Ornaments

I used the metallic copper spray paint for this because I am going to place these ornaments on our downstairs Christmas tree. And it just so happens that we have copper ceiling tiles down there as well.

Copper Mercury Glass Ornament With Copper Ceiling
Here’s a little sneak peek of our copper ceiling tiles downstairs that I got from Decorative Ceiling Tiles. Don’t worry, I’ll be sharing a full tutorial soon on how to install them too with y’all as well!

So I think they will play really nicely off of each other. And again, you could use whatever metallic spray paint color you wanted to here. Gold or silver would be really beautiful too!

Spray Painting Ornaments

Spray Ornaments Again With Vinegar

Again, don’t wait for the spray paint to dry. Go right back and spray them all over with vinegar one last time.

Then, you’re going to want to let them dry completely. I did this all outside of course since I was using spray paint, and I gotta say, it was a little difficult.

Mercury Glass Ornaments Drying

Mainly because it was a windy day and my ornaments kept blowing around while I was trying to spray them. If you have anything that you could actually place the ornament on while spraying it, I think that would work much better!

Or just don’t do it on a windy day like me! But thankfully, they still turned out to be pretty nice regardless of them blowing around in the wind too!

Finished Mercury Glass Ornaments
After the ornaments have dried overnight.

Use Rub n Buff On Ornament Tops

I wasn’t planning on doing this originally, but after seeing how silver the ornament tops were next to the copper, I didn’t like it.

Materials Needed for Ornament Tops
Everything you need to paint the ornament tops!

It made them look too cheap in my opinion and not the true vintage looking ornament that I wanted. So I decided to order some Rub n Buff to see if I could age the ornament tops a little.

Using Copper Rub n Buff
Rub n Buff definitely made them look more rustic and vintage for sure!

And thankfully, that worked. I just applied it using a cotton tip applicator and then let them dry. After they were fully dried, I attached them back to the top of the ornaments.

Ornament Tops With Rub n Buff
You can really see the difference here between the one ornament that has Rub n Buff on it and the other that doesn’t.

Decorate with Your Mercury Glass Ornaments

Now you can decorate with your finished ornaments! I think they are the perfect addition to my King of Christmas 8 foot King Noble Flocked tree! Don’t you agree?

Vintage Mercury Glass Ornaments

I need to make a few more in order to fill the tree up fully, but I wanted to go ahead and share the tutorial process with y’all in case you wanted to make them too!

I am so happy with how they turned out and with how vintage they look too. This is right up my alley for sure!

    These are lovely and I love the colour of them too – I’m a sucker for rose gold! Making ornaments sounds like a great activity to do around Christmas 🙂

    Hi Charity,

    You really are remarkably practical and artistic – I don’t know how you do it! I have to say that, as somebody that is not very practical and not evenly remotely artistic, it is nice to have somebody like you come up with the ideas and tell the rest of us how to do it. Great job 🙂

    What is the other color you put on? There was no coverage of doing that step. I like the 2 colors together.

Well I just thought I was looking all cute and fes Well I just thought I was looking all cute and festive at the PGA Championship yesterday, right until a bird crapped all over me.. on the very first hole too!! Swipe over for a good laugh 🤣 So then I got to walk around with bird crap all over me in the 90 degree heat all day while hubby had the time of his life 😜 But, all in all, we had a fun quick trip to Charlotte and back again! Have a happy Saturday my friends!! Hopefully I’ll be safe from the birds today 😂

And I’m just along for the ride 😂 It should be a good day though and I hope you all have an amazing Friday my friends! 🙌🏻 And I just thought I’d share a quick view of how I styled some of the vintage patriotic pieces I found last time we were in Charlotte too today! 🇺🇸
