Aluminium pendant

To make a personalized aluminium pendant like this one, you will need:
1 aluminium can
goggles
cutter
scissors
sanding paper for metal 320
tweezers for jewerly 
punch
a piece of wood
alcohol and cloth

Well, I don't speak a very good english, but Googles helps me a lot, so follow me by this images...

Step 1: Cutting the aluminium can

Cut the bottom of the can all around, with the cutter knife and to separate the last centimeter, use the scissors..
not neccesary to mark this line... but, I made it to give you the idea, of where is the right place to cut..
Cut, piece by piece all this around with scissors...please, do not try to cut at one all at the same time, because you can hurt yourself. This section of the can is harder than the rest of the can.
Also, don't forget to use eye glasses to protect your eyes...this is very important!!!
To cut this small pieces use scissors, if the edges are irregular, use the sissors or a sand paper to get a smooth borders.

How do you get the scissors into that small hard spot to cut around the bottom part?

I will try and upload some photos when I am done but the edges look quite messy unlike yours that look very straight and uniform when folded over =/

Instead of "tweezer," the term you're looking for is "pliers." Very similar concept, but tweezers are used to pluck eyebrows, like this:

Pliers have the same type of motion, but are used on the type of project you're doing here!

Other than that, it looks great! I wouldn't have thought of using the bottom of a can the way you have. Good job!! :D

[LuzminasCorner]

Thanks Mslaynie!
I was little confused about that term, because I heard somebody use another word, but can't remember it...and is pliers!. Thanks so much, I will grab it for the future. ;D

[mslaynie]

You're totally welcome! I couldn't do as well as you did in any other language, so I think you did wonderfully!

[Celesmeh]

YOu could use this to make a locket....

[LuzminasCorner]

Good idea!
I have been using this piece to paint assorted themes... I could try a locket, too.
