crinkles
Foil's tiny ridges
Crinkles are small wrinkles, folds, or creases—the fine lines that form when something flexible is compressed or aged.
Paper crinkles when crushed, skin crinkles around the eyes when smiling.
The verb means to form such creases: She crinkled her nose in disgust.
The word suggests something lighter and more delicate than a full wrinkle, often with a slightly pleasing quality: the crinkle of cellophane, crinkles of laughter around his eyes.
