But if you are Baroque, THAN MAKE IT YOURSELF!!! Ugh, I know, I know a bad, bad pun - sorry!!!!!
As you may already know, sunburst mirrors are making a come back in a BIG way! They come in many styles and range in price- which are usually expensive.
SO here's what I'm thinking.....
SO here's what I'm thinking.....How can I make an easy version of my own SUNBURST MIRROR? So I thought ceiling medallion! I ran to Home Depot and grabbed a Baroque ceiling medallion ($26) and a tube of liquid nails ($3). Shuffled on over to Michael's Arts and Craft and purchased a 5" centerpiece mirror (.99C), metallic acrylic paint in silver (.89C). Total cost of mirror $31.89 + tax - WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!
spray paint!
two coats needed!
using a very expensive tool, my finger to add silver highlights to the raised edges of the pattern
Looking good if you ask me! Set aside to dry.
Glue mirror on back - I used liquid nails and taped it down while it dried
FINISHED!!!
Okay, so it's technically not a sunburst mirror but the acanthus leaf pattern reminds me of a sunburst! Anyway, I'm happy with the results!
That looks so awesome Dennis! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert!
ReplyDeleteI bought a sunburst frame. The convex mirror had broken. I had a circle cut from a mirror shop and I have a flat mirror in it. I do have a convex mirror. I bought it for $10.00 from a friend. It is 17 inches in diameter not counting the gold leaf frame. I told you a friend sold it to me.
