I'd like to attach the bases of the aluminum cans but I want it to look seamless. Any suggestions if you don't think it's possible would be appreciated too.

Welding is out of the question... aluminum is VERY tricky, and material as thin as the cans is impossible.
When my brother and I build our Beer-can wall back in about 1985, we used Hot-Glue to stack them bottom to top and side to side.
We also built one wall with cans on their sides like bricks... again using hot-glue.
BOTH walls lasted 2 years with no need for repairs.

it will be confusing to make it seem seamless. Al can inventory is quite skinny so welding would be confusing. The Al is so skinny and has been chilly labored very heavily that that is not likely you ought to attach them by skill of hammering. reckoning on what you're attempting to make, you ought to be greater beneficial off started out with a flat piece of Al sheet and forming it right into a tube. stable good fortune

Welding aluminum is very difficult and welding anything as thin as a can is pretty much impossible. I'd try epoxy glue.

Hot glue would be my first bet. If you're really good at precision craftwork, it could be made to be seamless.
Good luck.
