I did it! I jumped on that band wagon, and went with it! I made my own sunburst mirror. This was a really easy, fun, and rewarding project! I already have plans to make another one!
I wanted it to be a little more interesting, so I cut and broke the sticks to make a star type of shape.
The thing I like most about this project is that it looks amazing, and it cost next to nothing! I got the mirror at the dollar store, and the skewers at Safeway for $1, and then I used a plate hanger that cost me $2. So, for under $5 I was able to have fun, and get something great for my house at the same time!
Heres what I did... Super simple
As you can tell, I used a TON of hot glue! My mentality was simple- I didn't want it to fall apart and wanted it to be as simple as possible. Besides, a ton of glue doesn't hurt, and you can't see it from the front.
I started with the longer pieces, then worked my way around the mirror. I broke and cut pieces along the way, and just did whatever I thought looked good.
Once it was done and dry, I spray painted it with some silver paint, and added the plate hanger!
I have big plans for this bad boy, but I will share that later. ;)

Wishing you all a fun and enjoyable weekend!

Nothing like a couple of sweet little vignette pics to keep a girl happy, and inspired...
White Vignettes with a winter feel (mostly)
Decor Allure
Love the window! I like how this entry looks almost like a fireplace mantel. Adorable

I love the white branches in the pitcher, and the twig wreath in the back. A great way to bring the beauty of nature inside- even in the barest months.
Star Shine Chic
The mirror and bottles are perfect together!
Song Bird is Nesting
The queen of Vignettes! Truly! This is more spring, but I couldn't help throw it in here. The single tulip or pair in each bottle is sweet. Serene...

I like the pop of color, and the tiny stack of driftwood pieces. Even though this is almost all white, there are bits of texture all around- making it more rich
Timeless. Simple. Love.
Fingerprints on the Fridge
Sidebar from the winter vibe- I thought I would throw this in here too. I'm not one for Valentines day, and actually strongly dislike the holiday. And its not because I am a bitter, single girl (no offense to those who are) I just think its a ridiculous "holiday". That and I actually really can't stand the colors. Red, pink, purple, and white- a little too fru-fru for me personally. That being said, I actually really enjoyed this sweet little set up. Not too much pink, and the turquoise is a nice off set color. Not to mention the pic of the couple is super cute!
