  4. Cut another soda can approximately 1/2 inch.  This is the second can.  Small holes being punched into the bottom of a soda can.
  5. Put small holes around the edges of the top part of the second can.  Use a pin to do this and make sure that you have equal spacing for each hole.  A knife being used to make a large hole in the center bottom of a soda pop can.
