Drinking Glasses From Cans

DSCF8687.JPG
This weekend i was in ChinaTown in Sydney and saw some cans of drink that i had never seen before. Naturally i bought them but when i drank the first i started felling a bit sick. I took the other home and in the morning tried it. I couldnt drink it either but before i threw it out i noticed that it looked kinda cool with all the characters and it was made of tin not aluminium. Read on.

Materials

Cut Off Top

I just used a can opener and the top came right off. This might not work with old openers but should come off easily.

Smooth Down

I just used a butter knife for this but it would be better with a file or something. BE CAREFUL, it does have sharp edges and i dont want anyone getting hurt. If you use a knife or spoon just apply pressure from the inside against the pointing in bit and fold it down and flat

Wash

Wash thoroughly to remove any dirt or bits of metal.

Drink

Fill with and COLD drink and enjoy =). Dont use hot drinks as the cup likes to mimic the heat of the drink and may burn.
