Sunburst mirrors are everywhere! They light up my day every time I see one! I showed you one in this post. It was found at Chinoiserie Chic.
Here’s a beauty from Ballard Designs. It’s the Suzanne Kasler Sunburst Mirror.
Check out this one found at HGTV.
There are so many varieties and ways to make your own. Just take a gander at Pinterest. Ideas galore!
Here’s my version…
If you notice, the mirror itself is hexagon shape. I found it at Restore for $3. The “bursts” are wooden skewers! I glued them to the back of the mirror using wood glue. I clipped the pointed ends, after I practically stabbed myself! I then covered and taped off the mirror and spray painted the frame and skewers with Krylon “Gold” in Satin finish.
I love the way it turned out! I took some inspiration from Ballard Designs and created this “Love” look…
Their mirror, that is similar in size, is $79.00 and their letters are 3 for $75.00. I got my mirror for $3 and used about $5 worth of wooden skewers. I got my letters at Hobby Lobby for 50% off of $9.95 each! Now that’s a deal!
Get the look for less! Always a plus and the sun will shine!

Your sunburst mirror is the best I’ve seen! Beautiful!! I love the idea of using skewers.
Thank you Laurie! I really appreciate that!
Leslie, I love sunburst mirrors! It has been on my list of things to make, but I still haven’t gotten there. Love it! xoxo Kristin
Thanks Kristin! I’m so glad I did it. It’s one of my favorite pieces now! Very easy and cheap to do!
That is super cute! I love how you made it the O in LOVE.
Thanks! Glad you stopped by!
Definitely like your version and budget better than the Ballard one. Great job.

This is so nice. I also made a sunburst mirror a while back, and I used small little circle mirrors that I glued to the wooden dowels. I love how you made it part of a word. So creative. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Angie! I appreciate that!
I love it! And you did for cheap…even better! I think I am going to have to try the skewer idea.
Thank you! I love how it turned out and it was easy!
Beautiful! X
Thank you Hannah!
