Illustrator tutorial: Create an editable vector Sunburst Quickly and Easily

Learn to create a vector sunburst in Illustrator. This technique works with all versions of Illustrator including CS4, CS5, CS6, CC, CC2014 & CC2015.

The process is simple and uses a triangle to make the sunburst - it is quick and doesn't require a lot of fiddling to create and it is fully editable so if you want more or less rays you can easily change the number and size of them. 

You will see how to clip the finished sunburst to the shape of the artboard using a clipping mask. 

This is one of two methods for making a sunburst. I have another video here that shows an alternate method: https://youtu.be/UBTasGzCNrQ
