To create a bright accent in the room, to give it individuality, you can use such a popular design technique as decorating a mirror. Using a small round mirror, create an expressive DIY sun-mirror composition.
Such decoration can look different, depending on what exactly is used to decorate the mirror. If you take bamboo sticks, the shape will turn out to be fancy, Chinese sticks or skewers made of wood for cooking barbecue will give a more strict shape.
Necessary materials:
- round mirror,
- bamboo curtain,
- universal glue,
- spray paint can,
- masking tape,
- suspension,
- scissors, protractor.
Sequence of work:
- To make a sun mirror with your own hands, first, free the purchased mirror from the stand. To make a base, place a mirror on cardboard, trace and cut out a circle with scissors..
- Take a protractor and divide the circle into sectors. There should be 24 of them, 15 degrees in each. The number of sectors can be changed according to your wishes. When decorating a mirror, sticks will need to be glued to these lines.
- Disassemble the bamboo curtain into separate sticks. Attach the longest ones with glue to the marked lines, and the rest between them in random order. Adjust the length of the sticks to your liking.
- The mirror decoration is almost complete. It remains to glue it to the base and paint it. Use an all-purpose adhesive to bond the base to the mirror..
- The final stage of making a sun mirror with your own hands is staining. The color is selected depending on the interior. Construction tape will come in handy to seal the surface of the mirror to protect it from paint.
- Attach the hanger and hang the mirror on the wall.
