This is the perfect DIY project if you think your wall needs styling. With its unique design and fascinating vitality, a sunburst mirror is an excellent decor element. It can be a large piece that takes up a lot of wall space or a small but equally lovely piece of art! After all, it’s not the size that makes it so appealing; it’s the shine and gleam!
What you’ll need:
- Glue
- Wooden skewers
- Gold paint
- And, of course, a round framed mirror
How to:
- Start by taping off the front of your mirror to avoid scratches and paint stains.
- After the mirror is secure, it’s time to start glueing the skewers. You can start by sectioning the mirror into 6 pieces and then fill up the spaces in between to maintain consistency.
- Once the skewers are all laid down on the mirror, take your gold spray paint and spray it on the front and the back.
- And voila! A new sunburst mirror for your wall!

What you’ll need:
- Coloured cords
- Glue gun or glue sticks
- A laundry basket, preferably one without the handles
How to:
- Flip the laundry basket and start with your desired colour of cord
- Apply glue to the lip of the basket and start adhering the cord before it starts drying.
- After glueing the first round of cord, apply glue to the edge of the already attached cord and lay the other round or cord.
- Make sure you are switching colours when you desire and glue it around tight.
- Repeat the glueing and coiling process until you reach the lower edge of the basket. You do not have to wrap the bottom or the interior of the basket.
- And finally, wrap the lip of the basket with the final colour.

It’s 2022, and you cannot be an avid gardener and not have a vertical garden! It saves space and is enchanting to look at. There are a couple of ways to build a vertical garden.
What you’ll need:
- A steel rod (approximately 6ft)
- Hammer
- 4-5 clay pots with drainage holes
- Potting soil
- Your choice of flowers and herbs
How to:
- Hammer the metal rod at least one foot into the ground for stability.
- Place a base clay pot with the metal rod going through its drainage hole and fill it with soil.
- Slightly lilt the next clay pot you put through the metal rod. Fill it with soil to hold it in place.
- Continue stacking each pot on the edge of the pot below it. (Remember to fill it with soil as you do it and not after as it could all collapse into one another)
- And finally, add your favourite plants to each one to complete the vertical garden.
