Okay you guys, this is gonna blow your socks off so get ready! I was looking for something to do with all the wall space behind my bed and came across a few different ideas for making your own sunburst mirror on Pinterest. This is my own adaptation of what I found since I already had a lot of the stuff.
MATERIALS LIST:
- Small mirror with plastic frame
- Spray paint of your color choice
- 60 (or more depending on your mirror size) 12″ wooden dowels
- Hot glue or E6000
- cardboard
- A pen
- wire cutters
- scissors
- measuring tape or ruler
I went to the 99 cent Super store and found this lovely little mirror.
All I did was grab my glue — I used E6000 for this part because I wanted a stronger hold but I’m sure it would be fine using hot glue also — and slap it on! I just went over the top around in a circle until I was confident that once it dried nothing was going to move.
Once the glue was on, I placed the other piece of cardboard with the hook on it hook side up. Since I used E6000 glue, I let it sit overnight.
And boy, was she sturdy the next morning.
And now for the final steps! All I did next was spray paint the dowels and the frame and hot-glued the mirror and frame as close to center as I could!
This is her final resting place:
Also, see those pretty nightstands? I made those! Check out how I did it here!
Also, please comment below if you have any other ideas or questions about it!
As always, XOXO
