Step 1
The materials I used. Nice n simple and CHEAP!
Step 2
Get your biggest mirrior and trace and cut it from a cardboard piece. Next take a pencil or pen and draw lines going out all the way from the center.
Step 3
Next take your wooden sticks and start to hot glue them onto your cardboard circle. (Mine were a bit short and I wanted to make the sticks different lengths so I glued them at the end of the lines, you can do this whichever way you want though!)
Step 4
Once you got the lines you made coverd with hot glue and your sticks, next do the same exact thing to the inner parts of your lines. More glueing!
Step 5
It should end up looking like this when they are all glued together.
Step 6
Next start painting the sticks, I choose black yet again the possibilities are endless, I think rainbow would look really cute!
Step 7
Next glue on the mirrior to the sticks side of the cardboard circle (So it will have a middle section) This requires a' lot of hot glue! YAY
Step 8
Next start glueing the little mirriors onto the sticks, I made a pattern to go with mine but again!, you can be unique with this.
Step 9
(The pattern I choose to do)
Step 10
Viola!
A beautiful piece of DIY wall art!

My Great Grandma and Grandad had a clock just like that! Me and my cousins used to pretend it was the sun and make up games around it. Properly took me back when I saw it, very cool.
