I’m thrilled to be partnering with Wagner Spray Tech to give away one of my favorite Wagner tools. It is the HT400 Heat Gun and can be used in so many different ways.

I will show you how I used it to age galvanized metal and then I’ll share some other uses for the heat gun. Galvanized metal is very popular with a farmhouse style and I have several other DIY projects I’ve made with it.

A few of my favorites are this faux galvanized metal from chip board and these dollar store bins from plastic to faux metal.

Here is what you need for today’s project.

Michelle, thank you for the idea for ageing a metal basket! I do like ones that look older. I like the idea of a heat gun as I believe they can remove linoleum, too. Another great tool to add to anyone's home! Best wishes on picking a winner!!

Spring hugs to you, Barb :)
