Foil is freaking awesome as a craft tool. Here's 7 reasons why.
1. Sculpting
I use cheap kitchen foil as a base for most of my air dry clay and paper mache sculptures. It can be squished into pretty much any shape and holds its form really well. It can also be used as a sculpting material in its own right. Check out Axel Luther's video tutorial on how to make a
foil hare.
