DIY: "Sun" Wall Mirror

Introduction

If you’re looking for an original and striking way to refresh your interior, this handmade "Sun"-style wall mirror decoration is just for you! With the help of mirrored cardboard, bamboo sticks, and a bit of creativity, you’ll create a stylish accent for your home.

In this guide, we’ll show you step-by-step how to make this beautiful creation – easy, fun, and accessible for every fan of DIY projects.

Required Materials

You can find all materials at EM ART, either online or in our physical stores:

• Thick cardboard for the base (approximately 20 cm in diameter)
• Mirrored cardboard
• Bamboo sticks – two sizes: 30 cm and 25 cm
• Acrylic decorative stones – two sizes
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Circle template
• Pencil and ruler
• Scissors

Step 1: Preparing the Base

1. Draw a 20 cm diameter circle on the thick cardboard and cut it out.
2. Repeat the same with the mirrored cardboard using the same template.
3. Glue the mirrored circle onto the base.
4. On the back of the base, draw a second, smaller circle (about 8 cm), which you will use as a guide for arranging the sticks.

Step 2: Gluing the Bamboo Sticks

1. Start with the longer sticks (30 cm), gluing four first – two vertically and two horizontally to form the main axes.
2. Alternate between long and short sticks in each of the four sections, gluing them around the small circle with about 1 cm spacing between each.
3. Make sure the sharp ends of the sticks point inward.

Step 3: Decorating with Stones

1. Glue the larger acrylic stones to the tips of the longer sticks.
2. Place the smaller stones on the shorter sticks.
3. For a finished look, glue a second circle of mirrored cardboard in the center – it will cover the stick bases.
4. You can also add small stones around the base of the mirrored circle for a richer decorative effect.

Tips and Extra Ideas

• Instead of mirrored cardboard, you can use a real mirror for a more functional decoration.
• Experiment with colors – gold or pink mirrored cardboard also looks fantastic.
• Add LED lights between the sticks for an evening glow.
• Instead of acrylic stones, use pearls, sequins, or beads for a unique look.

Creating this sun-shaped mirror is not only easy but also incredibly rewarding. With a little patience and inspiration, you’ll add an artistic and sunny touch to any wall.
