Galvanized Christmas Tree

This was my first galvanized project and I have to admit I am hooked. Especially since I was able to age the metal using vinegar.
I used tin snips to cut the metal sheet. Also make sure to use gloves due to the sharp edges.

I used craft paper to trace my tree. I drew the tree by hand with the help of a measuring tape.





Once I had my tree traced I cut it out with tin snips.





Once cut it was ready to be aged with vinegar, and then I nailed it to the chalkboard wood backdrop I created.





Then I added it to my Christmas Display for this year.
