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!

By the time I started on the fourth band, this is what the cutting disc looked like. Back to the store for a 5 pack of cutting disks.
