Sun Burst Mirror Tutorial

I have wanted to make a sunburst mirror for a while now. I finally decided to give it a try.

I bought this wooden plate/clock base from craft warehouse:

I hammered in a picture hanger to the back:

I divided the wooden plate into equal sections to help me equally glue my BBQ skewers:

Then I used hot glue to glue one skewer on each line:

After that I glue 7 skewers between the ones I applied first:

Done. I let dry over night:

Next day I primed both front and back using gray primer:

Then I spray painted the front with metallic paint:

I got this round mirror at the craft warehouse (in the candle section):

I used liquid nails to glue the mirror one. I let dry for 48 hours:

It was missing the sparkle, So I went to Walmart and picked up these little plastic gemstones:

And just hot glued them around the mirror:
