Tin foil is one of the most pliable materials for costumes, particularly if you are short on time and resources. It can be moulded into almost any shape without disintegrating. You can create ornaments and elaborate masks. Since the tin foil provides the illusion of silver, it can cover boxes and tubes for body armour and robot parts. Tin foil can accommodate smooth or wrinkly surfaces, and can be used as a sheet or crunched into a handle.
