Sunburst Mirror


Never in a million years did I actually think I was going to be able to get one of these mirrors! Every time I shop I'd end up seeing one of these, but they are always $20, $40, $80! This one, believe it or not, I got for $6.75! Nope, it wasn't on clearance, or at a thrift store... I made it! Thanks to http://www.homemakerinheels.com/2011/06/toilet-paper-roll-flower-starburst.html I can have a beautiful mirror I have wanted one for quite sometime.

So here's how I did it!
I got a mirror for $2.99 at Goodwill, spray paint for $3.64, and saved toilet rolls.
After I folded the toilet rolls in half, long ways, and measured 1/2 inch segments and cut them, I hot glued them together.
This is after round 1.
I went for 2 more rounds. After that step was completed, I went outside and spray painted the frame and sunburst. (I actually had some one slow down in their car and look at me while I was painting. They were probably thinking "What is that girl doing?")
This is the drying stage.
Once it dried, I glued the sunburst to the frame, put in the mirror and VOILA! I have the coolest new Sunburst Mirror! And I love the addition to my bedroom. What do you think?
