Here is the finished product after I added some exterior latex enamel. This should help with preserving the wood should it ever get wet and it adds a nice touch to the set.
There are 4 of these. Most of the time they stay stuck on the mounts instead of the engine cover. If you re-install them on the engine cover and then lube them -- the cover goes on and off a LOT easier.
Notice how the bottom argyle repeat only has thirty rows, since it's being stacked vertically ("on top" of) on the original argyle square.

Aha, they're starting to crisp up. Give them one more minute; it might be enough, depending on your microwave.
You're going to nuke them until they're petrified. Try not to let the pieces touch too much; you'll need to separate them later. Two hot dogs just about fill up a dinner plate.
For best results, feed the ends to your dog as you're making the treats, and keep telling him how amazingly good they're going to be. The secret ingredients are 1) love and 2) salesmanship.
Thread a hair clip through the piece of felt, and attach the flower to your favorite outfits! You're done!

This is a detail of where a screw went through the head ring too high and splintered the stave. You can see beside it, I got the next one correct, and there's almost no splintering
Step 0: Materials
Bamboo wooden dowels (the kind you use for shish kebabs), Circular mirrors of assorted sizes (one larger than the rest), Silver spray paint, Hot glue gun, and/or duct tape
Step 1: Spray paint the wooden dowels silver
Spray paint one side of the dowels, flip over, spray paint the other side, let dry.
Step 2: Hot glue & duct tape dowels to the back of the large mirror
This step is sort of hodge-podge. Just use whatever you have at hand to ensure that the dowels stick to the back of the mirror. I used mostly hot glue, reinforced with duct tape.
Step 3: Flip mirror over to the "right side" and attach smaller mirrors to dowels with hot glue
Step 4: Hang your new starburst mirror on the wall, you're done!
I like to secure my mirror with some double-sided tape on the back, and a wire nail at the bottom of the mirror.
Drive the rig you enjoy!
