- Hold that knife strongly, while doing this process.
- Now you can easily cut the upper part of the can, for cutting the upper part you can use that knife.
3. USING SCISSORS:
- Make a hole in (the top corner) of the can using a scissor sharp tip.
- Then try to cut that upper part with the help of a scissor.
- This process works properly in a relatively soft can ….if your tin/can is hard then I don’t recommend this process to apply.
