Go to Michael's or a well-stocked craft or stationary store. <br />Buy a Fiskars paper crimper <br />Go to your recycling bin/bottle return bin/garbage can, and pull out one of them used soda/beer cans. <br />Take some sheet-metal shears and cut the can vertically, from top to bottom. <br />Cut all the way around just below the can top. <br />Cut all the way around just above the bottom. <br />Take the resulting rectangular sheet of aluminum and run it through the crimper. <br />Do it again. <br />Do it some more. <br />Experiment with different amounts of pressure. <br />Experiment with keeping the aluminum aligned as it goes into the crimper. <br />Now that you've really ruined that sheet, cut up another can and start over. <br />Now you're on the right path!
