Finished Project:
I LOVE this sunburst clock mirror! The one that first caught my eyes was at target (here) and was only (ONLY?!) $84. I was so happy when i stumbled upon a blog to something similar which helped me create my own (Thanks Samantha)!
1. Supplies
-Clock (or mirror)-I found a clock at walmart for $3!
-Wooden craft sticks-at hobby lobby or michaels
-Paint-I used a shiny metallic silver spray paint
-Small circle mirrors-I got two different packages, one containing larger sized mirrors and one mixed pack with three different sized mirrors.
-Cardboard (to hot glue craft sticks on)
-Hot glue gun
2. Paint wooden craft sticks
3. Measure!
-I did 16 longer sticks (and marked those on the cardboard)-Then cut 8 long sticks in half to make 16 shorter sticks, i placed these in between the long sticks and staggered them.
-The circles in the middle showed me where to place certain sticks, the end of the longest sticks were at the circle furthest to the center, then the shorter sticks alternated between the two outside circles to give it a staggered look.
4. Lay it all out
5.Continue to lay it out, making sure each mirror is where it needs to be too.
6. Glue the craft sticks onto the piece of cardboard, then glue the mirrors onto craft sticks at pre-marked locations.
This is what it looked like when it was all glued together, before the clock (or mirror) is added.
7. Attach clock/mirror to center!
-The mirror that i got at walmart came screwed in to the box, this made it really easy to use those two screw holes to screw on my piece of cardboard that had the craftsticks/mirror bedazzle!
8. Add some wire to hang and enjoy the burst of happiness in any room!
LOVE this mirror!
