How to Make a Fossil

Fossils are and unique very expensive to buy.

If you would like to make one you will need:

Shells,

Plaster of Paris,

A bit of bendy wire,

Clay,

Black paint,

An old cloth,

Gold spray paint,

A small plastic container.

Here is how to make a fossil.

First press clay in your container about 1½cm thick.

Next press your shells in your clay and take them out.

After that twist a piece of bendy wire into a loop.

Then ask a parent to mix plaster of Paris and pour it

on your clay with the loop.

Now you have to wait for a couple of weeks. When it’s dry, push it out of your container and dry the top.

A few days after that spray paint it gold then let it dry for two days.

Finally paint it black and gently rub the black paint off.
