Mix together 1\/2 cup of plaster and 1\/4 cup water in a clean plastic container (or follow package directions).<\/p>\n

Cover a seashell with petroleum jelly (Vaseline). When the plaster begins to set (thicken and harden slightly), press the shell into the plaster.<\/p>\n

Let it dry overnight and then remove the shell (it should slide out easily).<\/p>\n

Use the plaster mold to make clay fossils.<\/p>\n

You can also use plaster to preserve a child\u2019s hand or footprint. The plaster washes off skin easily with warm water, but make sure you run lots of water down the drain!<\/p>\n

Handprints make wonderful gifts for parents and grandparents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
