Handmade Sunburst Mirror


I made this mirror for under 10 dollars! So simple to make, and will get you lots of compliments! I found all the supplies I needed at Hobby Lobby. 

What you'll need:
Super Glue
Thin Wooden Sticks
Spray Paint (any color you choose)
Glitter Spray Paint (optional)
Styrofoam (Circle Shaped)
Circle Mirror

First off, you can use any type of sticks you please, I used the ones pictured below. 


First, I took these sticks and stuck them in the circle piece of styrofoam.  You can place them anyway you like.  After, spray paint the sticks.  Once the color I wanted showed, I added the glitter spray to make the mirror sparkle!  Next, put super glue on the back of the mirror and then secure it to the circle piece of styrofoam.  Let it dry and then there you have it! An astonishingly elegant piece of wall decor to brighten the room.

Something Old and now Something New

Sunglasses and Watches Organizer Idea!

Over the years, I've accumulated tons of pairs of sunglasses as well as watches.  After years of trying to find the best way to organize them, I stumbled upon my old locker shelf.  All I did was detach the legs and hang the shelf on two command strip hooks and there you have it! The finished product is above. I find it not only to be very efficient, but also stylish in a way! Hope you try it out and check back here later to see other easy ways to make something astonishingly elegant simply out of nothing.
