Note: I'm using Rockstar cans to get the star shape on the can but if you want to use another can, stencil it on the can and cut it.
Rinse the cans out before you start. Less sticky...
To start the cut, you can use a nail or a thumbtack and make a hole. Somebody suggested using a can opener to take off the top. Or, you can just stab the can with yous dumpy scissors like I did.
Cut out 12 five pointed stars. Just cut the logo out. Try to keep the cuts straight and clean. Since it's aluminum,be careful to not cut yourself. If you don't have tin snips, scissors will work, the metal is thin enough. You are really gonna dull down your scissors over time doing this, so I don't reccomend using nice ones.
If you use Rockstar cans, use the same size can. The stars look the same size on all the cans, but they're not. Slightly different. It won't work right if they dont match up.
