I cant tell you how many times I have heard the words " You are such a Martha Stewart" (haha) I just love crafting, diy, painting, sewing, and home decorating. It gives me great satisfaction to look around my house and say " I MADE THAT!"

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Star Burst Mirror tutorial:

  I have seen starburst mirrors everywhere in blog land! I made one a few months back and thought I would share my tutorial with you!

First I bought a circle beveled edge mirror at Hobby Lobby for 50% for $3 (score)
Next I went to good Ol Walmart and bought to bags of bamboo skewers for $1 each, and a can of  Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint $3

I laid out my pattern on the back of the mirror first to see how it was going to look. Next I went stick by stick and used hot glue to adhere them to the mirror. After all the skewers were attached I taped off the mirror and gave the whole mirror 2 coats of ORB spray paint.

Lastly I added a picture hanging kit to the back, and here it is...

I hope this will encourage you to step out and make your own starburst mirror!



Thanks for stopping by

    Great job! I've been contemplating one of these for our house and you've inspired me that I can do it on our tight budget. :)
