First of all, study the manufacturing technique and purchase foil for crafts or chocolates in such a wrapper. The latter will require about twenty pieces, so it is more practical to purchase a roll of foil for baking.

Prepare two templates: stems and berries (grapes). In order to make the latter, you need to form balls from foil with tails of two to three centimeters. To make a stem, twist the foil into a tube ten to thirteen centimeters long.

Twenty such blanks must be made of each type. Next, we tie together four or five grapes around one stem, thus forming a bunch. Make bunches from all available blanks, and then tie them into one large one.

To create leaves, you need to fold a star with five ends from foil tubes, the rays of which are also made from pre-prepared elements. Here you can show your imagination and create leaves of any desired shape. The main thing is the similarity to real leaves.

Next, we combine all the prepared elements together and get a beautiful bunch of grapes that will undoubtedly decorate your interior.

Place the foil on a piece of paper, smooth it out and make six copies (two for each side). We carefully cut off all unnecessary, ugly, protruding parts with a knife or scissors.

Then we unwind the prepared paper clips and make a twig out of them. The two sides of the leaves are glued together and a straightened paperclip is placed inside. Next, we connect all the elements and get a beautiful and neat foil branch with three leaves.

How to make a basket from wire and foil

Another interesting master class on crafts made from foil. Making a craft like this will require a lot more patience. The main difficulty is the need to assemble the basket step by step.

Prepare pieces of foil measuring sixty by ten centimeters. They must be carefully smoothed and leveled. Next, fold the glossy side of the wide side up and gently iron it. Then we make a side bend measuring one and a half to two centimeters.

How to make a fish from foil

This fairly simple foil craft is suitable for involving children in the process.

To create the effect of sea waves, paint a sheet of paper with blue watercolor paint, sprinkling it a little with blue. While the paper is still wet, sprinkle it with salt.

The sky can be painted on a separate sheet: use blue paint and drops of a darker shade. If you rub the leaf with a napkin, it will look more realistic. You can put a grid under the foil. If you run your fingernail over it, a pattern resembling fish scales will appear.

The fish can be decorated with felt-tip pens. Use your imagination when choosing colors. Next, we cut out the fish with scissors, glue them onto a sheet with the sea and add a sheet with the sky.

Photos of crafts made from foil

Let's start simple

In any store you can always purchase ready-made creativity kits. But it’s much more interesting to do everything from start to finish yourself, and also come up with a drawing. All you need is effort and patience.

The following materials will be needed:

a sheet of foil or an aluminum can;
backing under a sheet of foil. Important: the thicker the sheet of foil, the softer the backing should be. Felt and rubber are suitable as a backing;
To apply the drawing you will need a tool. It can be a sushi stick, a brush (its hard tip), a non-writing pen, etc.;
a stencil, a drawing template, or you can come up with one yourself;
scissors;
ruler.

Let's start making coinage. We take the jar. We cut off both bottoms. Now cut the jar from one edge and straighten it to form a sheet. Now use a ruler to straighten the edges and cut them off. The option of using a sheet of foil is not excluded.

Now place the material face down on the backing. The drawing will then appear in a mirror image. Now we put the stencil on the sheet and use a tool to press the picture. You can push either a solid line or a broken line. Now you can make a frame in a similar way.
