"Faux Mercury Glass Easter Eggs" with RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Ambassador Milagros Rivera

With less than a month until Easter Sunday, I'm totally in the spirit! I love decorating my home through the seasons and I also love visiting the stores and seeing what's out there.  I'm a huge fan of mercury glass and because it's spring, the colored mercury glass is right on point.  What started as a home decor item quickly turned into childhood memories of opening foiled chocolate bunnies!

I thought to myself, "How cool it would look if I actually made them into pendants!"  I went with the sweet colors of the season and instead of using glass spray I went with Deco Foil in silver to create the faux silver mirror effect that looks so pretty on mercury glass.

Using Apoxie Sculpt, I sculpted two sweet bunnies for inside my Imperial Eggs.  They were painted with Ancient Gold, that sort of looks like milk chocolate!  I think I need to string more beads 'cause I'm in looove!!!!

For my green I used two different types of foil, silver and turquoise. I made you a very small tutorial on Snapguide so you can follow along with what I did.  It may inspire you to create fun elements as well!
