Target Sunburst Decor Copycat

I love Target's decor section and really like the sunburst decor. It is made or metal rods being welded together. I was thinking - I can make this myself with the bamboo skewers leftover from the tailgate party!

I am a cheapskate so I am not going to shell out $10+ for a decoration. it is actually Pretty easy to make. However, the final product is pretty flimsy so it is a decoration only, not a toy.

10 Bamboo Skewers

Garden shears or similar tool that can cut the skewers

Sand Paper

Super Glue

Spray Paint (optional)

about 1-2 hours of your time

First cut off the pointy ends of 10 skewers, then cut them in half or whatever length you desire. I cut it in half so to save some time.

You will notice some skewers peel really badly, discard them.

Sand the rough ends until smooth

Now just use your imagination and some super glue to stick them one at a time.

I use the gel type of glue so it will stick better. Keep gluing until you achieve the desired look.

If you are going for a beach theme then you can leave it as is. If you want a different color then spray paint it like I did. Now put it on your desk and admire it. You just saved $13 bucks!
