How to turn a soda bottle into a mercury glass bottle

Hey there!

Today I am sharing How to turn a soda bottle into a mercury glass bottle.

At least that is what this piece looks like to me.

I am having more fun playing with Rit dye and Mod podge than anyone on the planet.

I am hoping you are running out and trying these new techniques too.

Let’s start with a plain empty soda bottle.

If you read my last post on my Mason jars painted with Mod podge and Rit dye

you will see basically the same technique

only difference is I did add a splash of golden yellow.

Fill bottle with mod podge

I would say about an inch

Take just a cap full of Rit dye

I used the color purple

Pour it in the bottle

shake, shake , shake to cover every square inch.

Let dry for about 15 minutes or so, then if you want to add a tad {Half a cap full}

of another color as I did

 Golden Yellow. Do, so

then let that dry

and this will

be your end result

I think it definitely has the mercury glass look.

I put it in the window as it was drying.

Today I received a box full of new color from Rit dye and I can’t wait to play with more.

I will be dying the way of the world.

Here are some mercury glass bottles I found on line $44.00 @

Z-gallery

And this is where the bottle lives..on the coffee table.

You notice when the combination dries, it takes on a life of it’s own inside the bottle.

I love that!

Of course paired up with my faux stained Rit dye and Mod podge window..

looks pretty Rit zy! in there:)

Have a great day.
