How to Make Your DIY Sunburst Mirror:

I started alongside a circle that was slightly smaller than my mirror as well as traced it onto an former 3/4″ thick slice of wood.

I used the ring saw to cutting my circle out, exactly you lot could piece of occupation a jigsaw or scroll saw too.

Next, drill holes into your wood. I flora a drill flake that was slightly larger than my coat hangers as well as drilled 3 lines – ane on each side as well as ane inwards the pump – all the means unopen to the border of the circle. I had 24 holes inwards each row at the end. I tried to construct the holes thus that they weren’t all lined upwards to off-set the hangers.

This pile of hangers was surprisingly difficult to collect! I fifty-fifty had friends “borrowing” a few out of their piece of occupation closets for me! Obviously I demand to take in the dry out cleaner to a greater extent than often…

Next, accept your side cutters as well as cutting the tops off of the hangers (the curved part). Then you lot desire to curvature the sides. I bent them wherever I wanted past times pushing them against a slice of wood. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 counter tumble out or whatever difficult surface would work.

Lay the hangers out to construct certain you lot similar the look. [note: I cutting to a greater extent than later on this photograph was taken because I didn’t intend it was total enough]. I used a total of eighteen hangers (36 pieces when cutting up).

Then stick the hangers in a board as well as spray pigment them. First pigment the whole hanger alongside champagne, as well as and then later on that dries, pigment the bottom one-half alongside gold. That volition ambit your DIY sunburst mirror that ombre look.

When they are all dry, you lot get-go placing them into the holes on your wooden circle. You possess got to force them inwards tight. You may desire to dip the ends inwards woods gum to help them remain position if they aren’t staying.

Finally, I attached hanging hardware to the dorsum of the mirror to hang it, as well as used 3M automotive double-sided record to attach the mirror to the front.

Now hang it on your wall as well as bask your masterpiece!
