D.I.Y : Starburst Mirror


 This was such a fun project for me and i originally saw it on Pinterest and fell in love! Starburst Mirror frames usually run $35+ which is the cheapest because the one I wanted was at Target for almost $50. Let's just say I can make 5 mirrors for $24. What you'll need:
Pack of 5 circle mirrors for $19. Metallic gold spray paint for $3. Paint sticks are free. Luckily I was being helped by a really generous person at Home Depot who hooked me up with lots of paint sticks. They can give u a couple since they're free but I left with a huge purse full.

All mirrors in the package come in frames. The trick is to unscrew the back and detach the frame. See below.

Unscrewed back

The mirror is attached to a board which is perfect to hot glue gun the strips to. 

Once you've counted out how many strips u need, spray paint them with whatever color u fancy. For me, it was metallic gold.

I hot glue gunned all strips around the mirror and added small strips, that I cute, to the inside which filled the gap. The final result is the picture at the top. I have it hanging in my bathroom ;)
