Like a steel trap, she is.

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.
