# How to Make Swans Out of Foil
Impress your guests by wrapping leftovers into a swan-shaped package to sail home with them. Aluminum foil folds and molds into a simple but elegant food carrier, often used in Asian restaurants to box food-to-go after a meal. Foil swans are a thoughtful touch for care packages of homemade treats as well.

1
Lay a large piece of tin foil on a flat surface and put the food in the center.

2
Fold one long side of the tin foil over and tuck it under the food.
-
3
Fold the other long side over and wrap it snugly around the food.
-
4
Twist the foil on each end of the food so it makes a tight seal. It will look like a piece of wrapped candy.

5
Twist one end around into a neck that arches slightly and bend the tip over to form a beak.

6
Fan out the other end for the tail and tuck the tip of the end back into the twisted base.
