Hey Friends!
I hope you all are having a great weekend! The weather here is gloomy, with rain off & on today. I am fighting the urge to take a nap instead of writing this post!! This week is week three of our Dog Days of Winter Series. The theme this week is “Make It.”
“Make It” week is all about choosing a project you’ve pinned from Pinterest & actually making it! I don’t know about you all, but I have a ton of craft/DIY projects pinned, but have made only a hand few of those items. I’m sure the majority of you are guilty of this as well. Well, this week is all about taking action & making those things you’ve been wanting to make for months now!
For me, it was this project: DIY Sunburst Mirror
I know I’m like a year (or more) behind on the sunburst mirror phenomenon. I’ve always loved the way they look & now that I’ve been doing some work in my master bedroom, I thought maybe I could use one in that space.
These pins were my inspiration for the project:
For the most part, I followed Kate’s tutorial for my sunburst mirror. However, the Lowe’s store in our area wasn’t willing to handover the number of paint sticks that I need for the project even though I offered to pay for them. So, I had to come up with a different solution. Then I remembered that Sarah had used shims for her mirror, so I decided to do the same.
I’ve only been sharing sneak peeks of my master bedroom thus far….it is still a work in progress & I have a few more things I am wanting to do before I show you the full room.
I love the way this mirror turned out and I think it looks so pretty hanging in it’s new spot!! I can’t wait to bring in some more accessories to the bedroom so I can share the full reveal with you all! 🙂
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for our “Make It” Linky Party!! Come share your Pinterest projects with us & be inspired by others!! It can be a craft, DIY project, and/or recipe.
We can’t wait to see your projects!!
If you link up on just ONE of our blogs, your project will be see on all NINE sites!! So, get those projects completed & get your posts ready!!
If you don’t have a blog, I would still LOVE for you to join in!! Share a picture of your project with me on my Facebook Page! I will be sharing some of my favorites over the course of the week!
I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!!

It turned out really cute! I can’t wait to see it in person!
Love,
mom
That looks really fresh and airy, and not too heavy. Your bedroom sneak peek is looking good too! Cant’ wait to see it.
Have a great week!
Denise
Seriously I have no words for how wonderful this project is & how beautiful your room is!! You are one talented little lady!!! I love it all! xx Liz Marie
Yes I’m guilty of this too, seeing so many DIY thing’s I fancy and never going ahead and trying to make them. I think my first DIY will be a nail polish rack as I’m in need of storage so I’m going to make a display/bookcase shelf and varnish or paint it and a mirror like this would look fantastic above it. There are so many great apps on the Mac App store now like a spirit level etc so I should be able to do it using those apps. Thanks for posting this I hope to do this soon and I’ll definitely let you know so you can see how mine turned out. I was really inspired by your post so I pinned it and I shared it on my facebook page.

I LOVE this! I had been thinking of making one with paint sticks, but I love how yours turned out using the shims and paint colors! 🙂

This turned out so pretty. I have been wanting to do a starburst mirror also. By the time I do mine, it will be out of style!
DeDe@DesignedDecor
Wow! This turned out fantastic! I’ve also been thinking about tackling some sort of DIY sunburst mirror for above our bed and I just might have to do this!
I especially love the soft metallic sheen. It’s subtle but still gorgeous!!

That sneak peak reminds me of being on the beach…I love it so bright and airy. never knew something so inexpensive could make such a large impact…way to go
Love, Love, Love sunburst mirrors. I can’t get enough of them. I have done a few in my own home. I am hosting a new link party and would love it if you would check it out.

Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform
you’re working with? I’m looking to start
my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I
had to ask!
My blog: website
I was suggested this website through my cousin.
I’m not positive whether this submit is written by means of him as nobody else understand such certain about my trouble. You are wonderful! Thanks!
I love this mirror! I’m hoping to get supplies to make my own soon! I shared your project over on my blog today: http://www.everafterblueprint.com/?p=7251
Oh my goodnesѕ! Aωesomе article dude!
Thank you, Howeveг I am encounterіng diffіcultiеs with your RSЅ.
I don’t know the reason why I am unable to join it. Is there anyone else having similar RSS issues? Anybody who knows the answer will you kindly respond? Thanx!!
Feel free to surf to my webpage raspberry ketone
Love this post!! I created this sunburst mirror yesterday and it turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing — my only problem was that I forgot to nail the picture hook before I glued the mirror so I ended up with a small crack on the side of the mirror. Still looks beautiful though. I can’t wait to hang it over my DIY headboard! Thanks again!
I adore this idea. I have been searching for different DIY mirror projects for my daughter’s new bedroom. I’ve found some large mirrors for sale that would be great for a project like this! Thanks for sharing!
The mirror is creative and beautiful. I LOVE the pattern pillow on your bed. Would you mind sharing where you found it? Thank you for sharing! Love your blog and creativity!!!
Thank you Aimee! The pillow is from TJ Maxx.
