I was thinking of making one of these. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Instead of using cardstock to outline the center mirror you can use a dollar store frame. I have the perfect one in mind for mine! Also your local craft store coupons can help offset the cost of the small mirrors so you can add more. Can’t wait to get started! :D

@Sarah, I think the skewers were about 12″ – then I trimmed a few of them down 1 or 2 inches to make the different lengths of spokes.

I made a starburst mirror clock similar to this. I used a $3 clock from walmart, 3 different sizes of mirrors from hobby lobby, and painted the lines on the wall with metallic paint instead of the skewers. I used painters tape to keep the lines straight and poster putty to stick the mirrors to the wall. Love the idea of the convex mirror! I may have to make another one :)
