BLM Handheld Tinfoil Statue

I decided to make this in honor of the Black Lives Matter protests. I love the protests because I don't like it when people suffer because their black or for some other unnecessary reason. I have an African background but anyone can create this. This is a Black represented statue.

Supplies

You will need:

Tinfoil( AKA Tinfoil)

Knife or shaping tool

Cardboard(Optional if you have problems with making the B L M on the stand)

Tape(Optional if you have problems with making the B L M on the stand)

Getting Started With Shaping the Foil

Shape the foil in a cylinder shape. Then add some foil at the top and shape that foil to look like an upside down shoe. I put up a BLM symbol for you to use as a guide.

Making the Lines

Use your knife or shaping tool to make lines to represent the outlines so it can look like the logo. It might not be easy and you can add some foil to do this step.

Lastly We Will Need to Make a Stand.

You might notice that the statue is not stable but if you are able to put it on a table without it falling you might notice the statue is wobbly so we have to make the stand. I wrapped foil on the bottom of the BLM logo which had no stand to make a stand. I wrapped another foil with cardboard cutouts of B L M under it but I still had problems so I put tape cutouts of B L M on top of the foil.

Enjoy It !

You could leave it in your room to be noticed if you go on zoom or share with your friends or family to show what you made.
