This blogger used PVC pipes left from a lawn sprinkler project, as well as hot glue.
Using a miter saw to cut through a mark placed every 1/2 inch down the pipe, the DIY guide created about 80 circles.
Although she later regretted not painting the circles first, she was able to hide any pipe markings with smart design arrangement before she began hot gluing the circles together in her desired pattern. She then glued a mirror from a local craft store in the pattern's center.
You can check out her full instructions at "Thrifty and Chic."
While the design is a new addition to the blogger's entryway, it brings to mind a midcentury style when circular patterns covered many homes' mirrors and clocks.
"After World War II, design evolved from Art Deco and Streamline Moderne to Mid-century Modern, which reigned from the mid-1940s until the mid-1960s," the website Collectors Weekly states. "No corner of the home was untouched by this new, casual, atomic-era aesthetic, including furnishings and accessories such as clocks."
Regardless, it's clear that Alicia from Thrifty & Chic knows how to make a classic trend look super modern. Did you love this DIY? Make sure to share!
