1. The easiest answer is to attach the iron to wood so that their total density is less than that of water.
2. A more complicated answer is to expand the iron into a shape that has less density than water, for example, beat it out into a sheet and then use the sheet to make a water-tight sphere or cube.
3. An even more complex situation is to beat it out into a sheet and then use the sheet to form an open bowl. In this situation, it will float based on Archimedes' Principle. It will also sink if filled with water.
Why is this question in "Religion and Spirituality"? Are you thinking of the axe that Elisha caused to float? (2 Kings 6:5,6.) In that case the above answers do not apply.
