we came across one once that we really liked at the Alameda antique fair.. but it turned out to cost over $200 AND it was missing spokes & had a few rusty bits on it.. and Im not about to shell out that kinda money for a damn mirror.
As I was browsing the net the other day I came across a tutorial for a starburst mirror & figured what the hell... I'll try & make my own damn starburst mirror.. and I have to say.. it came out pretty darn cool.
A couple wooden dowels, some various sized mirrors from the craft store, silver paint & a ton of glue sticks and voila!....
Starburst mirror!
We're quite pleased with it and hey.. it only cost us about $30 to make!
I'm thinking now that I have a scroll saw that my dad had given me.. I might just make some miniature wooden starbursts of some sort to hang up on the sides of the wall. It's about time we start decorating this house...
