THE REVEAL: wood shim sunburst mirror

Tuesday, January 24

I am too excited about this DIY sunburst mirror to wait until tomorrow to share it with you!  I think she's just wonderful. 


If you read the tutorial and you are even considering making one; do it!  The whole project can be done under $15.  Unless you need to buy a glue gun, but even then your cost is minimal.  The round mirror is from JoAnn fabrics.  I love how the edge has a design to it.

Here is the space I wanted to give life.

What do you think?  
(Besides the fact that when the room is done I really need to have someone else take the pictures.)


Thanks for sharing in my little crafting adventure. 
 I don't often make pieces for our home, but this was worth the effort.


Now who's next?!
