In this case, the first materials you can get for constructing your personalized starburst mirror is the lid of can. As far as concern, aluminum lid is preferred. As such you can get these lids before they throw to your dustbin. Beside milk powder tin cover, you can get the aluminum lid from any other item as long as it is suitable to use for constructing your mirror.
In terms of accessories for your starburst mirror, you can get few cool items like straws, buttons and organza ribbons. If you have bendy straws, cut them off at the bendy part. Thus another very important items for you to DIY your starburst mirrors are Styrofoam disc. You can trace the disc on the wrong side of the scrap booking paper and cut it out. Glue it to the disc. I used Elmer’s glue. Use a pencil to poke 12 holes in the side of your disc. I drew a grid on the back of the disc to help me space the holes.
For straws, drinking straws will melt and warp if you use a hot temp glue gun. Thus it is possible to go with a low temp gun. You can put a dot of glue on the milk cap, let it cool for a second, and then held the uncut end of the straw up to the glue dot for 15-20 seconds to help it set. As far as concern, the hot glue will melt Styrofoam as well, and any ensuing fumes that aren’t healthy. As such to avoid for this problem of happens, you many squirt a glob of hot glue on the other end of the straw. Then allow it to cool somewhat, about five seconds. Stick it into the hole in your disc, and hold it there for 15-20 seconds to help it set.
