DIY Sunburst Mirror

Hey dolls!

So im sure we have all seen those beautiful sunburst mirrors all over the stores but who wants to spend over $100 for one?? Not me, so i decided to go onto my favvvvorite DIY spot --> PINTEREST and see how i can make one myself and to my surprise, i found so many different ideas using toilet paper rolls! Yes, toilet paper rolls!!! I couldn't believe it either! I continued to search until i found the perfect one --shown here.
So lets get started! Here's what you will need:


Round mirror of your choice (came in a set of 5 from Walmart $14.97)
A whole bunch of toilet or paper towel rolls
scissors, ruler, pencil, hot glue gun & spray paint color of your choice


Start off by flattening the rolls 


Cut 1 inch rings (or whatever size you like)


Keep measuring and cutting until you have a pile of them (depending on how big your mirror will be)


Once all your rings are cut, start put them in groups of 4 and glue together


I also made a few groups of 2 for the edges of the mirror (optional)


Arrange your rings around the mirror until you get your desired design


add the double rings to the edge of the design


Once you have the design of your liking -> glue away (i started closest to the mirror and worked my way out)


Protect the mirror and spray paint with color of your choice




And Boom! Isn't it Gorg?!
(No one will ever know it was made with toilet paper rolls)



See ya on the next post :)
