Daisy like flower
My original idea on how to make that flower was completely different. My goal was to create a layered flower but I know often times my plan changes as I craft. There is nothing better then letting craft lead you…. that is what my Mom taught me. Don’t fight with idea just let it flow. My can supply was low so choices needed to be made on the spot.

Step 1: Supplies
To make Aluminum Flowers you will need - Soda cans - Newspaper (not shown) - Scissors - Flower cut outs (you can choose one of the patterns I uploaded or find your own online) - Pen - Wire - Nail - Sand paper (not shown) - Pliers - Hammer or wrench
Step 2: Cut the Can
Take your soda can and put it on some thick newspaper. Take an Exact-o knife and cut a line in the can (I recommend taking the scissors to finish cutting) around the top as close are possible without making it difficult for yourself. Repeat on the bottom. You now have a can without a top or a bottom.
Step 3: Trace!
Using the cut out you've cut out from the paper, lay the cut out onto the piece of aluminum. Trace with a pen, press hard just in case the ink is being fickle. Lay the flowers as close to each other as possible. Do not overlay the flowers or cutting becomes a problem. Trace the larger ones before the small ones.
Step 4: Cut
It is time to cut. This is a difficult step and is not one for small children to do. The edges will be sharp so proceed with caution . I like to cut the small ones first. These are more difficult to cut because they are smaller. I like to start on the side and cut around the flowers that way.
Step 5: Get Rid of Those Sharp Edges
As you may have noticed, I keep repeating that the edges are sharp. I learned this by slicing my finger. So I decided that I no longer need to worry, I will just sand it. This step is difficult as well. What you need to do is take a piece of sand paper and fold it. Rubbing along the edge, repeat until smooth. Move to the next side.
Step 6: Clean Off the Ink
Now that you have cut out the flowers and made them less dangerous, it is time to take off the ink. It makes it look prettier and that is the only reason for this step. If you do not care, move on to the next step. Put the flowers on a flat and hard surface.
Step 7: Punch a Hole
Now comes the really fun steps, or so I think. You now have various sized flowers that you will lay on top of one another but first they need a hole punched into them so that they can be strung together on a wire.
