I just did this with Canada Dry Ginger ail. Came out nicely. The only part you have to really worry about cutting yourself is cutting the top and bottom part off..but when the work is all done, it isn't easy to cut yourself. The part that you use to make the petals is softer metal so it's very easy to cut with scissors. Making the bottom part flat is hard too so you can use a hammer or the back of your scissors.

I actually might do this tomorrow, and btw, if it's sharp, you can always use the glue you used (beter if it was the glue gun or something) and put it around the edges of the leaves :)

They are sharp, but the material is very "soft" so it wont poke You, but be careful so You wont Get a "papercut" but You can Paint it thick to Get rid of the sharp edges if You like. I still have to think about the leftovers, but maby Paint them and use as mosaic?? I'll let You know if i come up with something

Cute and so retro with the pepsi bit on the side, but wouldn't it be a little sharp? What do you do to stop it from stabbing you?
