How to Make a Fossil

Fossils are precious and hard to find so we made our own. Just in case you want to make one this is what you do.
You need:
Clay,
Shells,
Plaster of Paris,
A bit of metal,
What to do.
First you push the clay into a margarine container. You smooth the clay with your thumb.
Next you press the shells into the clay.
After that make a loop. This is what it
should look like.
Now ask a grown up to put some Plaster of Paris
onto the clay.
Next put the loop onto the side of the box.
After a few days, peel the clay off the Plaster of Paris. Now the Plaster of Paris would have turned into a fossil.
Next paint the fossil gold. When the paint is dry, put some black paint on top then quickly rub it off again. The black paint that is left will make the model look old.
Now your fossil is ready for you to look at at night.
