option1:
cut of the top of the can, mine ended up really jagged, so i cut it again using the scissors to get a neater edge.. this will avoid unnecessary damage to your fingers later..i advise you to wear protective work gloves when working with tin or aluminum cans.

option2: trickier, idea from fearme36fearme36 (thanks fearme36)
don't cut off the top, let it be attached, to one strip
look at the diagram(capback.jpg) this allows it to be used later, without any gluing involved
