When you are sure of the pieces you can press the in more to ensure they are not going to be squashed in a different way.

Once you are okay with the pieces join them together with another piece of foil.

You can also use some electrical tape to hold the pieces together for extra support till the whole figure is made.

Once the figure has been made you can now cover the foil in electrical tape, and if any prices look out of shape you can mould them till you are satisfied.

Conclusion

Overall, this foil figure was a fun and simple project to make. Using just foil and electrical tape, I was able to create a figure with moveable body parts that can be posed in different ways. It is a creative project that is easy to customise and make your own.
