Sunflower/Sunburst Mirror Made With Cardstock
I’ve wanted a sunflower/sunburst mirror for a while. I found a couple that I liked at the store, however, I wasn’t a fan of the price. After some research, I knew the best material for this project was heavyweight cardstock.
I was going to use a circular mirror but I decided I needed something on top to decorate, then, Eureka! I will use a wood embroidery hoop and clothespins. They are easy to find and really affordable.
I drew the pattern and guide to make the placement of each petal easy-peasy and you can download them form my blog avantimorocha.com using your social media to unlock the file or buy it in my Etsy shop.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Just one question...it looks like you have shaded the petals abit to give it more definition. Did you do that with a dark paint and brush or does it just look that way. I am excited to try and make one of these myself as I commented down below.
It looks like the card is indented where you put the mirror ,
is it sunk or how did you glue the mirror onto the base
HOW MANY CLOTHSPINS?
