How can you take the sharp edge off of a piece of cut aluminum?

I got the hare-brained idea to make a dragon costumeThe big detail about it is that I'm cutting the scales for it from aluminum cansMy question is there any way for me to take away the sharp edge of the scales so that I don't hurt anyoneAlthough, I want the scales to still be able to slide around as I move, and I still want them to have that metal 'clinking' sound, so attaching all the scales together and duct taping the scales are not options I'd like to useAny ideas?

Answer:

Sandpaper smooths sharp edges nicely (wear old leather gloves while you're doing this to protect your hands) - just be sure to round any corners slightly instead of leaving them 'pointy'I understand you want the metallic sound, but be aware that a full metal dragon costume is going to be very heavy and probably very hot to wear, and you may not be able to wear it for very longGood luck!
add an extra egg for moisture and dont bake it untill its crunchy, just enough so all the ingredients are cooked but its stil gooey
