    Should work but they would be very light and prone to being flipped over. I use a grab bag of stuff but the plastic formed ones are great and I also like flower pot trays with a notch cut out of the side.

    I honestly don't think that's quite a good idea. That aluminum is very thin, and as I'm sure you're aware, the thinner a metal sheet is, the higher chances of it becoming a 'blade' it has...
    Not to mention the fact that thin aluminum (soda cans, those 'pans', etc...) is extremely easy to leave 'raw' and extremely dangerous and sharp.

    I've tried these. They are very sharp when you cut the entrance. The trick I used (before I threw them away because they are too lighweight, and weighing them down just gives your BP something that can fall on his head) was to use aluminum foil tape folded around all the edges to buffer them.
