First things first...

Pick a pretty paint color for the ceiling...

I personally recommend a light color (i.e White or light Blue/Pink)

Also... make sure you let the paint dry all the way

Next...
Measure the ceiling and figure out how many stars you will need...

Measure distance between the stars...

Now...
With the easy to erase pencil mark a "grid" on the ceiling...

...it will be your guide for where you later glue the stars

★ ★ ★

For the stars you want to choose a adhesive foil in either Gold or Silver...
those two colors will shimmer beautifully in the evening

Next...
Take your "Star Stencil" and mark the stars on the adhesive foil...
then take a small precision knife or scissor and cut out each individual star

...take the stars and place them where your grid lines intersect

Once you are finished placing all the stars onto the ceiling...

take a soft damp cloth and clean the grid lines off the ceiling

Now look at this...
isn't this idea just absolutely BEAUTIFUL

For this fun DIY project you will need...

Paint for the Ceiling (light color)
One Star Stencil (about 5")
Marker
Adhesive Foil - Silver or Gold
Pencils (easy errase - that way your guides can easily be wiped off)
Scissors or Precision Knife

✰ Sunshine Mirror ✰

Believe it or not...
this fabulous looking Sunshine mirror will cost you no more then $5.00
because it is is simply made with one round mirror and some craft paper

What you think...
You have some room left for just one more gorgeous DIY'er art project ??

✰✰✰✰✰

Here is how you do it ->

✰ 1.

Make yourself a template -

so all your paper "sun rays" will look the same

One easy way to do this is to take about three folds of toilet paper
and just cut the tips off as shown in the picture

✰ 2.

Next cut your decorative paper into several equal size strips
and fold them in half...

Then cut your decorative paper strips according to your paper template
✰ 3.

Make sure that the round mirror you choose for this project is not too big

Since you always want to be sure that you like what your final project is going to look like test it out first... just to be on the save side!
Just lay the mirror on a flat surface and place the "sun paper rays" around the mirror (see above)

✰ 4.

In order to be sure that your "Sunshine Mirror" actually looks like a sun
and not like a flower

You may want to add several different sizes of paper "sun rays" -

which will make it look even more interesting

✰ 5.

This is actually the most important step...
Arm yourself with your Hot glue gun and glue on your "sun paper rays"

Lay your mirror upside down on a flat surface
and make yourself some marks as shown in the picture above...

Take your hot glue gun and start with the shortest set of "paper sun rays"
then the next larger set of "rays"... and so on
Be sure you glue your paper sun rays in a set of four (see picture)

When the sunshine mirror is finished...

let it dry for just a little while and then you can hang on your wall

✰✰✰✰✰

This surely is one pretty

"Sunshine Mirror"

Twinkle... Twinkle... little Baby Star...

Let the Sun' shine already...
