DIY Sunburst Mirror

Remember the embroidery hoops I bought a couple weeks ago from the thrift store?

Well, I made this:


using an embroidery hoop, a small round mirror, a few dowels, some gold paint, a hot glue gun, and a 40% off coupon for Michael's Craft Store. All for around $6-7.

Can't wait to photograph it in it's new home soooon! What do you think?

    Hey just came upon your blog, do you mind me asking how you connected the dowels? It looks great!

    Sure! I just hot glued them to the back of the mirror. I would add a circular piece of cardstock or cardboard or something to cover the dowels on the back when you're done hot glue-ing to add some stability too.
