Vinyl Sunburst Mirror Tutorial

I feel like I am on a roll when it comes to decorating the house, I am not spending a lot of money at all but things are slowly starting to get completed. 

Today I added a Vinyl Sunburst Mirror to Scott's living room near the mantle and I am loving the way it looks!



Click "Read More" to find out how I did it!



So simple, all you need is vinyl in whatever color you want, a 6 inch mirror (I got mine at the craft store for $1.50) and some adhesive for the mirror to stick to the wall. This is a great craft because you can use scrap vinyl and you can do it without a Cricut so anyone can make this one without a fancy machine.

First I used my paper cutter to cut 1/2 inch strips off of the 24 inch long sheet of black vinyl I had on hand. 


Then I made a plus sign on the wall with the first two pieces. 


Then I added two more in an "x" shape.


Then I added the last four in between the first four. 


Last I got out the mirror and the adhesive. 


And added it to the center of the sun burst. 


Done! 


Quick and easy and looks great over the book shelf!

Michelle-

Man, you really can make something beautiful out of no budget. You need to show Nate Berkus a thing or two.
