I discovered this AMAZING project from Flamingo Toes called Starburst Mirror For The Dining Room. I just loved the idea and having the small round mirror, I just had to make this myself.
After the superglue incident, I decided to try this Gorilla Super Glue. |
Superglued the mirror to the plate ( I didn't superglue myself to anything this time :-) ) |
This is where I did something different than Flamingo Toes instructions. She used cardboard to glue all of the silverware to. Instead I used the silver tray, I drilled holes and used steel hanging wire so that it would be secure when I hung it on the wall.
After all the glueing and drillings. I superglued the mirror/plate to the silver tray with the silverware and put water weight on it overnight. Overall, silvertray ($2.00), plate ($.30), superglue ( $6.00), silverware ($6.00) was a total cost of $14.30. Not bad for such a beautiful Starburst. It looks fantastic on my wall.
