Begin by deciding where you want the center of your starburst to be and, with the doors closed, trace the embroidery hoop where you'll eventually attach it. Use washi tape OR a pencil and yardstick to map out each ray on the door.
STEP 1
Cut your embroidery hoop in half. Sand the edges as necessary. Use wood glue to glue each half of the embroidery hoop in place on the doors. Ensure you are taking into account the door OPENING and make sure it can open with appropriately with the rays in place.
STEP 2
Using a nail gun or wood glue, nail each dowel in place using your guidelines. You want to be especially precise and careful when doing this on the rays that extend over both halves of the door, as you want those to line up perfectly.
STEP 3
Fill in and cover any nails/nail holes with wood filler so you have a smooth finish. We did one coat of tinted primer and two coats of paint, sanding lightly between coats. We added decorative handles in the middle of the embroidery hoop.
