SunBurst Mirror

Made this sunburst mirror out of Sushi mate. Had an old sushi mat which i thought would be perfect to make this. In fact I had two different kinds of mat luckily the one with thinner cylindrical bamboo sticks and another with flat and wider bamboo sticks. So I used the flats one to give a long effect and the cylindrical to give short effect.

1.I Untied the sushi mat and wiped them well.

2. I dint had to cut the flat bamboo stick as they were perfect in size for the mirror. But the cylindrical bamboo stick I cut it little shorter than the flat ones all in equal size.

3. I spray painted the flat bamboo stick in black

and cylindrical bamboo stick in gold.

4. By the time the paint would dry i took the mirror and started marking on the behind of the mirror with a measuring tape 1/2 cm below the edge of the mirror and 1/2 cm apart as it would be easy for me while gluing the sticks on the mirror.(check the image below)

 

 5. Once the sticks were dried i started gluing the sticks to the mirror using a hot glue gun. I first started with the black sticks and once that was done i started gluing the gold sticks in between the black sticks.And the result is seen below.
