1- I took a piece of paper, then I copy the stars of the scorpius constellation using a pencil.

2 - Then I glued the paper on the aluminium piece.

3 - I used nail and a mallet the mark the stars on the aluminium piece.

4 - I attached a small bit to the rotary tool, then I drilled the wholes (stars) through the aluminium piece.

1 - Using a Hack saw I cut the aluminium piece to a rectangle form.

2 - with the rotary tool I sand the edges.

3 - then I rounded the corners.

4 - I add a letter N with a stamp, (optional)

5 - I drilled the last whole to attach the key chain to it.
