Then, you must work at the top of the can. You must check against the edges and halfway there and you cut with the cutting tool you have. Once cut, with the sandpaper, and carefully, you should review so that the edges are smooth and do not run the risk of hurt. If you prefer that the whole can be seen, you can cut and paste an entire glass reaches the middle so you can see all the decoration, as in the photo.
