ABSTRACT:
A kit for making a decorative item from an aluminum can and the process of using the kit. The kit has a can-holding member which has a pair of arms, at least one of which has a guide bar which abuts the surface of the can. A knife is drawn along the guide bar scribing a groove along the surface of the can. A series of grooves, preferably equally spaced, are formed around the can, and the can is then pressed inwardly to break the grooves and form a series of elongated slats around the can. These are bent outwardly to form a decorative object.
