Materials and Tools:
old window with wood frame
drill
(3) decorative hooks with screws
(2) 2-hole D-ring hangers with screws
tape measure
paintbrush
pencil
mirrored spray paint
1 quart eggshell interior paint
spray bottle with water
wiping cloth
Apply Mirrored Spray Paint
Wipe away dust and debris from window panes with a dry cloth. Lightly mist water onto all glass panes, and spray panes with mirrored paint. Allow paint to dry for 15 minutes, then wipe with a dry cloth. The water droplets on the glass will disappear with the mirrored spray paint, giving the appearance of mercury glass.

Secure Hangers
On the back of the window, measure 5 inches from the top and make a mark on each outside edge of the wood frame. Secure D-ring hangers on the 5-inch marks on each side using hardware screws and a drill.
