- Instructions
-
-
For each "fossilized" item, place a large ball of clay on a piece of waxed paper and flatten it into a thick circle.
-
Make an impression in the clay by gently pressing in the object and then removing it.
-
Prepare some plaster of Paris according to the package directions so that it has a smooth but thick consistency.
-
Spoon plaster into each impression, thoroughly filling it in. Let the plaster dry completely (about 30 to 60 minutes), then peel away the "clay" to reveal the fossil.
