1. A foil transfer device comprising:
a foil applicator to transfer foil from a foil film onto a substrate;
a changer to change a position of the foil film relative to the substrate; and
a controller configured or programmed to execute:
a first transfer process to transfer, using the foil applicator, foil from a foil film onto a first area of the substrate, the foil film having been placed on the substrate;
a change process of changing, using the changer, the position of the foil film to a relative angle that is changed from that of the first transfer process; and
a second transfer process to transfer, using the foil applicator, foil from the foil film onto a second area of the substrate, the foil film having been placed by the changer during the change process at the relative angle relative to the substrate, the second area being different from the first area.
