I have wanted to make a sunburst mirror for a while now. I finally decided to give it a try.
I bought this wooden plate/clock base from craft warehouse:
I hammered in a picture hanger to the back:
I divided the wooden plate into equal sections to help me equally glue my BBQ skewers:
Then I used hot glue to glue one skewer on each line:
After that I glue 7 skewers between the ones I applied first:
Done. I let dry over night:
Next day I primed both front and back using gray primer:
Then I spray painted the front with metallic paint:
I got this round mirror at the craft warehouse (in the candle section):
I used liquid nails to glue the mirror one. I let dry for 48 hours:
It was missing the sparkle, So I went to Walmart and picked up these little plastic gemstones:
And just hot glued them around the mirror:
