DIY starburst mirror

 DIY Starburst Mirror

Supplies

3 packs of dowel rods from Hobby Lobby @ $2.49 each

1 mirror from Michaels @ $4.99

Hot glue gun

compass

wall mount (I used the same type that are on the back of picture frames)

Spray paint (optional)

 I staggered my sticks into three different levels. I drew a circle with a compass to know where to glue each one. I then alternated and hot glued each stick down until the mirror was complete. Then I hot glued a wall mount to hang it. This was SO easy!

I still plan on spray painting it but haven't made it out to get the right color yet. I will just cover the mirror with paper and tape it down and spray away.I think it looks pretty good and "natural" without the spray paint too!

Hoarder?

So the other day I went to my parents house and came home with....wait for it....a bag of crap. Yes, a bag of crap. I asked my mother if she had any old frames I could have and after an intense search in their storage room ending with my father lugging a double bagged, extra large trash bag up the stairs and into my trunk, all the while my mom called me a hoarder, I arrived home with an eager grin on my face to start creating.

All of these hideous,dated and just plain terrible ugly wood frames were about to get a rude awakening.

A much needed facelift from my new BFF, ole' doc spraypaint. Oh, How I love me some spray paint.

Here is a sneak peak at a few of my creations from my hoarding bag of junk that I used to spruce up our new play area downstairs...more to come...
