I need to build a barge out of aluminum foil(30x30cm)& put weights in it w/o sinking,ideas on how to build it?

I need to build a barge out of aluminum foil with a 30x30cm dimension and put weights in it w/o sinking,any ideas on how to build it? And if possible i need to break the previous record which is 2 kilograms.

Answer:

I might try making a rectangular or square shaped brick out of the foil, trapping air inside of itIf you can get it to seal good (roll the edges) it should be relatively flat and able to stack weights on it, kind of how a pontoon worksI use a similar method to trap food inside foil so that it holds in steam to cookI imagine that it should keep water out too.
