Tin foil FM antenna tuner

Please help me to design small calculated FM antenna made from tin foil, with tuning capacitor also made from tin foil? It's a bit confusing trying to apply the mag loop calculators for the short wave. It should be rather small and wide, than big and thin. So it's possible to use many of them in parallel on small space.
 

What kind of antenna? Beverage?

Rather like wide flat magnetic loop, that can be glued on both sides of A4 or A3 paper. So it's more about the surface tension, not about the length. Intended use would be cheap energy harvesting, for those regions who are not using AM frequency anymore.
