I Pinned It, I Tried It – Sunburst Mirror and Faux Plant

13 Comments
About a month ago I had some girls over for a Pinterest crafting night.  I’ve been wanting to blog about my project, but due to my indecisiveness, the cedar shim sunburst mirror that I had made just sat there and stared at me.  
I finally, finally decided to hang it up in the entryway area of our home.

I was inspired to do this project from Thrifty Decor Chick’s fantastic cedar shim sunburst mirror tutorial.  She did a great job with her mirror – it’s perfection.
The project itself was easy and inexpensive.  The supplies needed are minimal – glue, glue gun, mirror, cedar shims and a scrap piece of wood.  
Assembling the cedar shims was simple, especially since I had decided that my mirror wasn’t going to be symmetrical.  —->  #laziness

After I hung up the mirror, I knew I wanted a plant.  …But not a real plant because Nubs the Cat would’ve eaten it, I’m sure of it.

As luck would have it, one of my favorite bloggers over at The Lily Pad Cottage posted about how to make a fake plant look real.  I loved it so much that I commented on her blog overly expressing my gratitude and then I was off to pick up a couple supplies (a faux plant and a glass vase) at Hobby Lobby.  
To finish this project, my two little design assistants filled up some buckets with dirt and rocks from our yard.  🙂

Easy Peasy.

Overall, I thought both projects were fun and easy!  Now go out and collect some dirt and rocks!
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO,

  2. Looks great! I may need to steal the fake plant idea too. Not because I have a cat, but because I kill all plants inside my house 🙂
