Aluminium soda cans are thin, making them easy to cut. I know some people haven't had much success and I'll tell you the solution to cut slits onto the cans without ruining them. The trick is to fill them with water and pop them into the freezer for a few hours. Six hours is quite enough for the ice to form before working on the cans. I left one can overnight and it burst open in one split!
We can then cut lines, hammer or pierce holes to form patterns and designs on them.
Use a foot ruler and start to cut out lines 1/2 inch apart and keeping the bottom portion to make a tea light candle holder. I use an ordinary craft cutter for slicing the cans.
You can even hole punches with hearts, flowers, leaves and butterflies or use a plain hole punch to randomly punch designs into the can. Grab your favorite color spray paint and paint the tea light holder. After it dries you will be ready to display your newest candle holder.
