For the second layer, I altered the folded strips just a bit as shown above. Taking another 29 strips; I folded each in half, hot gluing the crease together to create a point. This layer is actually glued in-between the first layer pieces. To do this I ran a bead of hot glue down each outer side and slid into place as shown below. {creased side pointing out}

As you work your way around the entire edge, gently press the glued sides together to assure a good firm hold. {You're basically just filling in the spaces}

I added a third layer using the same techniques as layer two.

Once the sunburst shape was complete I cut a circle out of a piece of cardboard and hot glued it to the center. {I squirted on a lot of hot glue and let it drip in the creases to ensure a good strong hold}

Next was paint. I used several very light coats of regular spray paint to cover the cardboard. I used a combination of grey flat primer and a dusting of satin nickel.

Once dry, I was ready to attach the mirror. I used a 10 inch round mirror that can be found in many craft stores in the candle section {they are actually candle plates and run approximately $3.99}

I simply used a plate hanger to attach the two together. The springs do a good job of holding it in place. {I did not use any glue}

The finished mirror measures a total of 28 inches in diameter.

I love it just as much as the first one; if not more!

It is going to go in my powder room that I am finally getting around to finishing. I know, I teased you last month with the crepe streamer ruffle board and fabric {found here}, I just get into too many projects at once! I have a few more final touches to add to be able to check this room off my list! Enjoy!
