DIY Faux Zinc Letters

I have always admired these zinc letters from Anthropologie.
I was recently at the craft store when I saw these cardboard letters and knew I could make some myself!


Paint the letters with a silver spray paint. I used Krylon's Brushed Metallic spray paint in "Satin Brushed Nickle" found at Michaels. Let the coat dry and hang them wherever you like!


These will be going in my new kitchen two weeks from tomorrow!

Sunburst

I am moving into my apartment in two weeks and all I can think about is how to decorate it!
For the longest time I have loved sunburst mirrors. (who doesn't??) After looking on Pinterest, I found some great DIY inspiration to make my own!

Awesome paint stick mirror


Great idea using branches



Wow! Sunburst mirror made with paper towels

This last one is my favorite and the tutorial I used! Here is the tutorial from Third Floor Design Studio. 
For my mirror, I only used bamboo skewers instead of wooden dowels. 

Here is the finished product:


Also, for the color, I used Rustoeum Universal Metallic spray paint in “Oil Rubbed Bronze.”
I will be sure to share pictures once I hang it in my apartment!
