For this craft, you'll need:
- a magazine
- tinfoil
- a printed image of the robot
- a pen
- scissors
Tinfoil

First- place a sheet of tin foil about 8x10 (it doesnt have to be perfect), and lay it on the magazine, shiny side down.

Now take your Intructables Robot image and lay it face down on the foil.

Trace the faint outline of the robot. Apply lots of pressure so the image is pressed through to the foil.
Tracing Again (optional)

Remove the image. The instructables robot should be pressed into the foil. Trace inside the the creases for sharper lines.
