{Mercury Glass} Christmas Hurricane

 How do you decorate your coffee table? 

I've been de-reddening my Christmas decor downstairs, so I needed a new something for the center of the living room.

I turned a plain glass hurricane candle holder into a

 mercury glass masterpiece last year.
Well, not quite a masterpiece, but it looks pretty good!

There are lots of tutorials on how to transform
 a glass container into a mercury glass lookalike.
Krylon makes a Looking Glass spray paint that makes it very easy.

I pulled out my Hurricane candle holder to take a look...

 and decided it would work well with the 

"new color scheme" of winter white, ivory, silver, antique silver,
bronze, and glitter everything!

 Now to decorate around it!

I started with a silver charger, then added fresh greenery around.

I pulled apart a decorative floral pick and just used the bronze glittery branches, and the silver berries. I tucked them in the greenery.

Those 3 large, rusty jingle bells came from Hobby Lobby. 

You know I love sheet music!

I put some through our shredder, then scrunched them up a bit, and put a clump in the middle.

I made room in the center for the hurricane candle holder to sit level.

Don't forget the candle....

All done!

 Here's another closeup view. I generally always take apart those decorative floral picks, so you can spread the sparkle around!

 There's my coffee table decorated for Christmas.

The other end of the table sits 2 large books with
 a large stone cross resting on top.

Using simple items that you already have...layering them,

makes a quick and easy centerpiece!

Happy Decorating!!
