That was a nice effort but I think that it is very important for the dowels to be evenly space apart so that some aren't clumped together and others have a larger gap between them. I would suggest drawing line across the back of the cardboard so that the dowels follow the direction of the lines. Also, you don't say if the tips of the dowel are resting on the table while the glue dries so that the dowels tip away from the wall after it is hung OR if I am supposed to hold the dowels out perpendicular to the table while the glue dries so that the dowels end up being perpendicular to the wall after it is hung. These details are very important to truly turn out a superior project.
Here is the mirror template for those who are wanting/needing it. I found it on her website: sarahhearts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/suburst-mirror-template.pdf
Hi Sarah! I and getting ready to make my first DIY Starburst mirror. I absolutely love your video and using it as a guide for mine. Can you possibly reply to this comment with the link to the template?
Hi Sarah, I’m in the middle of making this mirror but noticed the instructions say 16 dowels in each size but you only use 12 in the video, am I missing something?
I agree with Alice! You may need to add a lot more glue and be sure to hold in place for about 30 seconds longer to make sure it's secure. If that still doesn't hold and your dowels aren't staying in place, I would try an epoxy glue like E6000.
+JennyJardin The mirror I used was wood but you could also use one that has a plastic frame. You just might need to use a stronger adhesive like E6000 or another epoxy glue.
