A quirky colorful sunburst mirror
UPDATE: I was invited to share this project in an upcoming issue of Modern Patchwork from Interweave so I removed the how-to part of this post. Look for complete directions and photos in this special magazine this spring!
My over-the-dresser project involved a plain round mirror from Ikea, a "jelly roll" of pretty fabric strips, a tester jar of paint and two bundles of wooden shims. I admire classic sunburst mirrors, but the "classic" part is just not us so I decided to put my own contemporary, quirky spin on it.
How cool is that? And no sewing involved!!
Hanging it up the next morning was pretty exciting! It's colorful and quirky and unexpected. And it makes me happy every time I walk by it. :)

Jane,
Quite a stunning mirror, the chests not half bad either.
Wow - what more can I say!
Is there a way to get the instruction at this point? I do not have access to the back issue of the magazine that you mentioned and I really love this project.
This is awesome!
I'm echoing My3LittleE's inquiry regarding the instructions. I have a mirror in my living room in need of some diy upcycling love.
Hi Jane,
How can I get a list of materials needed with dimensions, etc and instructions for this project? We really would love to do this for our school auction.
Thank you!
Hi Jane - can you share instructions o this mirror project? We would love to do it for our school silent auction. Thanks.
Jane, I would love these instructions for our school art auction project. How can I get them? It's a beautiful mirror!
Is it possible for you to repost the instructions since the magazine is now several years old?
I would love the instructions for this project. Is there a web site I need to go to for them?
Thanks!!
Please post the instructions. Thanks.
