Summer Spoons Starburst Mirror

I just bought a new house I am itching to decorate. Top things on the list new couches, subway tile backsplash and fancy hallway mirror. I'm thinking tile and couches will be tricky to DIY. However, a starburst mirror is totally doable..

Supplies

Aleene's Tacky Glue

Hot Glue and Gun

Pink Serving Spoons

Pink Serving Tray

Pizza Tin

Round Mirror

The hardest part of this project is getting the price tags off the plastic spoons. I scored mine at the party store and it took soap, hot water, scrubbing, olive oil, alcohol and finally WD40 to get the sticky off. Once you have clean spoons, the rest of the project is super duper easy.

What you use as a base for your mirror is totally up to you. I used a combination of acrylic neon pink serving tray and pizza pan. Use Tacky Glue to adhere these two parts together. Next using Tacky Glue attach your mirror to the center.

Lay your spoons out around the edge of your mirror and choose a pattern. Remember you want as much spoon as possible to touch the base (more contact to glue).


Using a hot glue gun attach your spoons around the edge.

All that was left to do was hang my mirror. The new house has a pool, I'm thinking this little gem might go on the patio.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall Who is the Craftiest of Them All?

I have hand mirrors on the brain lately. Maybe it is all those Snow White and the Huntsman commercials. Maybe it was last week when I decided to hot roll my hair and realized I had no way to see the back of my head. Whatever the reason there was no way I was going to have a plain jane hand mirror on my vanity.


SUPPLIES
Felt
Scissors
Liquid Fusion Glue
Hand Mirror


The first thing I did was decide on a design. Once I knew how I wanted my mirror to look I cut out pieces of felt.


I attached all the felt to the mirror using Liquid Fusion. Be careful not to use too much so that it does not darken your felt. I also added a hairbow from Jen at Hell Razor.

Now next time I need to see the back of my head I'm ready!

P.S. Don't forget that hand mirrors also make great picture frames.

P.P.S. Please excuse the slightly blurry pictures. I am taking photography classes and my teacher made me change all the nice settings my photag friend Erin had put my camera on.
