Ain't that a fact Debra! Hilarious!
**********************************
Thanks for the interest in these aluminum can projects all and:

Yes Sharon! I do use regular scissors in an to do most work on these. I stab and cut down in even strips and then use a good quality primer paint for metal such as Krylon to base coat. After that I use a combination of latex and house paints to create the effects. The final seal for me is a clear Matte sealer instead of a glossy one;...but that's just my personal preference.
*********************************

These are a new finished one (giant Cereus look) and a fantasy Orchid that has just been built and roughed in before final paint.
