Okay, yesterday I was eating the little miniature "Reese Cups" and I was thinking, could you, in theory, make flags out of the foil that it comes wrapped in, as long you don't tear it? Or is the foil too thick? And if this is possible, how could I put a flag picture on it? Paint it? Thanks for your time.

If you get Archer Fine Transfers flags you can transfer them to each side of the foil and have a very good flag. I have done this once with the lead foil I got from the dentist and the effect was amazing. Other than that I don't know of a way.

Rob,
I was just wondering id transfers are enough "elastic" not to break once you shape the foil...
Ciao
