While browsing the internet I came across a DIY sunburst mirror and decided to give it a go...
Materials
~2 packs dry cedar shims ( I paid around $3 at Home Depot)
~an 8'' and 12'' floral ring ($3 at Michaels)
~a center mirror (your size of choice, I bought an 8" one from Michaels for $4)
~ a glue gun
I started by attaching my first layer of shims to the larger floral ring.
Then I attached one shim along the backside to join the two floral rings.
I then glued down the top layer, filling in the gaps between the larger layer, onto the smaller floral ring.
Next, I glued the mirror on.
At first I liked the natural look, but I decided that I wanted a bolder look, so I am going to spray paint it today. I should have waited to attach the mirror, oh well.
Now I just have to pick a color.
(Will post updated picture when complete)
Grand total for this DIY project $10, and if I remembered my Michaels coupon...arrrgghhh... it would have been much cheaper!
That is awesome! Maybe I will add that to my "to-do" list, lol.
