We’re to the one week mark of the 31 Day Challenge! For the challenge, I try to tackle an unfinished project every day. Yay for making it a whole week!
For Day Seven, I decided to finally tackle making a mirror for our bedroom! I’ve been planning to make a starburst mirror for above our dresser for two years. Two years! *hangs head in shame*
The space on the wall above the dresser needs something, but another picture frame would be too many rectangles mixed with all the straight lines of our bedroom furniture. I really wanted something round, so decided a starburst mirror would be perfect. I really like the chunkier mirrors, but our bedroom furniture is dark wood, so something chunky on the wall would be too much. In the end, I realized a slimmer mirror would look best here.
I won’t bore you with a tutorial because there are a bunch of starburst mirror tutorials on Pinterest. I roughly went by this one that uses skewers for the spokes. I did not use a template because our printer is a pain to use, but it really would have saved me a lot of trouble. So, don’t be like me! Use the template!
Here are my in progress phone pictures: the 16 longest length skewers in place first, then the shortest ones in place second, then filling it all in.
And here it is all assembled!
I just need to paint it, attach a picture hanger to the back, and hang this bad boy up! I’m hoping to finish it up tomorrow, so check back to see the final project!
Wow! This came out beautifully!! Now I'm looking around my house to see where I might hang my own 😉
