From salt dough can be done great amount crafts, for example: flowers, animals, various figurines, inscriptions, numbers, toys, paintings and whatever you want! Modeling from salt dough is called bioceramics. The advantage of salt dough is that it is convenient to work with, this material is absolutely harmless and crafts made from it will please you for several years. In this article, we will look at how to make crafts from salt dough with your own hands.

You will need: a glass of wheat flour, a glass of extra salt, half a glass cold water, a bowl.

Recipe

The finished salt dough should not stick to your hands or crumble. It should be cool and comfortable to sculpt. I recommend watching the video tutorial!

There are two most common ways to dry salt dough. The first way: the finished craft will dry itself. The main thing is that it does not fall directly Sun rays otherwise it will crack. The craft can be put on flat surface and wait a few days. The second way: the finished craft is dried in the oven for 3 to 6 hours (depending on the size of the craft). Drying takes place intermittently. One approach is 1-2 hours. For quick drying in one go, set 75-100 degrees in the oven, and then the craft will dry in an hour. At a temperature of 120 degrees, the craft will dry in 30 minutes, but it is better to dry it naturally.

There are two most common ways to color salt dough. The first way: after drying, the finished craft is painted acrylic paints or gouache, using a brush. The second way: food coloring is diluted in water, then added during the preparation of the dough. When the craft is completely painted and dried, it must be covered with a transparent manicure or furniture varnish in 2-3 layers. Each layer must dry before applying the next. In this way, the craft will last for a long time.

You will need: dyed salt dough, stack, clear nail polish, toothpick.

Salt dough production technology

Increasing attention has recently been paid to the revival and propaganda various kinds folk-applied art of Russia.

It is no secret that from ancient times in Russia, bread was treated with great respect. How many holidays, rituals are dedicated to him. And the most main holiday the peasants was devoted to harvesting. For this occasion, they baked holiday loaves, pies, braids, rolls and many other delicious masterpieces of culinary art. They were masterpieces, because they were not only incredibly tasty, but also beautifully decorated with various patterns and figures. And the remaining flour, or, as it was called, estimates, was not thrown away (this was considered a great sin). Salt and water were added to it, and various figurines, amulets, totems were molded from this (inedible) dough. And this type of creativity was called in the old days - mucosol.

Over time, other ingredients were added to the salt dough recipe, but the main ingredients - salt, flour and water - remained unchanged.

For example, here are some recipes for making salt dough:

1. Flour and salt are taken in equal proportions 1:1 and ½ part of water. For example, 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of coarse table salt and half a cup of warm water. All this is thoroughly kneaded for 10-15 minutes so that the dough becomes soft, like plasticine and at the same time does not stick to your hands. Then, for 3-4 hours, the finished mass is placed in a cool place for "stability".

2. Flour and salt are taken in equal proportions (1 glass of flour, 1 glass of fine salt), 1 tbsp. the spoon vegetable oil and half a glass of warm water with the addition of 2-3 drops of iodine. The mass is well kneaded and placed in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.

3. The following method: 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of coarse salt and 1 cup of glue mass (100-150 ml of water and 2 tablespoons of wallpaper paste). Everything is thoroughly mixed.

4. Instead of wallpaper glue, you can use PVA glue: 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of salt and ½ cup of water with PVA glue (50 g of PVA glue for ½ cup of water). Everything is also thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass. Salt dough products can be left to dry completely naturally (in a warm place near the stove or battery, or in the sun), but this way the product will not be ready for further processing soon.

In another case, ready-made salt dough elements can be dried in an oven over low heat and at a temperature not exceeding 125 ° C.

As for the coloring of the finished product, there are several ways:

1. Food coloring is added to the dough in the process of kneading the dough (the disadvantage is that the colors are not too saturated).

2. Oil paints look very impressive and colorful (the disadvantage is that the paint dries for a long time on the product).

3. Gouache paints create a dense saturated layer (the disadvantage is that the paint can wear off if not covered with a transparent varnish).

While sculpting, a teenager develops fine motor skills hands (and this also contributes to the development of speech). Modeling develops spatial thinking and imagination. Thanks to modeling, a child or teenager directly learns reality. In addition, while modeling from salt dough, the teenager works with environmentally friendly material.

When making products from salt dough, they use the same techniques and methods of working as with plasticine:

1. At the beginning of work, you need to take care of the workplace (the surface of the table should be covered with oilcloth or a piece of plexiglass), you must have several napkins (paper and cotton).

2. To work with the dough, you will also need a variety of tools: stacks (wooden, metal, wire), various molds, templates, etc.

3. Basic modeling techniques: rolling, rolling, flattening, pinching, pinching, pressing, bending the edge, etc.

From separately molded parts, you can create a whole composition. Composition is a process of creativity, the combination of individual details into an expressive picture.

When making paintings from salt dough, additional material can also be used: fabric patches, beads, beads, buttons, feathers, etc.

Working with salt dough gives children great satisfaction; they work with great interest with this "unusual" material, creating extraordinary, fabulous paintings.

After reviewing the work different masters, I wanted to try to sculpt from salt dough.

I decided to combine the two ideas. Make a vase from a bobbin from a roll of used paper. And decorate it with a vine molded from salt dough.

At work, I still have bobbins from rolls of used paper. So I decided to put them into action.

Materials I used:

Bobbin from a roll of used paper;

PVA glue;

Glue moment "Liquid nails";

White acrylic paint (interior);

Acrylic paints (artistic);

Sandpaper;

masking tape;

Tassels;

Finishing putty acrylic on wood;

Acrylic varnish (furniture);

Stencil;

Palette knife;

Eggshell.

For the salt dough, I used this recipe:

Dough for fine work.

300 g - flour;

200 g of salt;

4 tbsp. l. glycerin (sold in pharmacies);

2 tbsp. l. glue for simple wallpaper + 125-150 ml of water.

Let's get to work.

1. I cut the bobbin from a roll of paper with a hacksaw for metal 50 cm. Then we cut it out from the remnants of the laminate round stand(bottom). My husband helped me cut it with a jigsaw. Cleaned the edges of the blanks with sandpaper (zero).

Having degreased a round billet with alcohol, with the help of glue, the “Liquid Nails” moment glued both blanks together. I waited for them to stick together.

Then I glued the round blank with masking tape and primed the bobbin in two layers with white acrylic paint (interior). I applied the paint with a foam sponge. Dry between layers. When the acrylic paint was dry, I sanded the bobbin with sandpaper to make it relatively smooth. After sanding, be sure to wipe off the remaining dust with a slightly damp cloth.

I picked up the desired color by mixing white acrylic paint (interior) with acrylic paints (artistic) and painted the entire bobbin in two layers with a sponge, did not paint the stand, left it natural. After drying, I sanded again, wiped off the dust and removed the masking tape.

3. We make out a baguette along the upper edge of the vase.

Add a little PVA glue and water to the finishing putty, you get a structural paste. Attach a stencil and apply acrylic putty with a palette knife. Carefully remove the stencil and allow the putty to dry.

When the putty dries, apply the stencil again and paint with golden paint. Carefully remove the stencil and let the paint dry. On the upper edge of the vase, we got a baguette. You can see it on the finished vase.

4. Now let's start stucco molding from salt dough.

Mix flour, salt and glue, gradually add water and knead the dough. Glycerin was added while kneading the dough. The dough is well kneaded, the dough should not be too thick or soft, it should be elastic. She divided the dough into parts and painted with acrylic paints in the desired colors.

To color the dough, you need to flatten a piece of dough and drop paint on it, then mix thoroughly to get a uniform color. For twigs and tendrils, paint in Brown color. For leaves and grapes in green. And for one more type of grape in burgundy. As the dough dries, the color fades. But this is not scary, since we will decorate the leaves and everything else.

From stiff paper, I cut out templates of grape leaves of different sizes and shapes.

Having thinly rolled out a layer of dough (2-3 mm), I apply templates and cut out leaves on them. With a toothpick I make veins and give the leaves a different shape.

For twigs and tendrils, the dough is simply thinly rolled out with a roll, the desired shape is given and immediately glued to the vase with PVA glue.

Grapes - we roll balls of different diameters and glue them to a vase, laying them in the form of a bunch.

I sculpted all the details of the grapes, shaped them, laid them out and glued them on the glue right away. This process took me several days, as all the details dried right on the vase. In order to lay out the branches of grapes on the back of the vase, you need to wait until the previous ones dry.

I chose the process of drying the details on the vase due to the fact that it is easier for the soft dough to give the shape of the details you need and lay out on the rounded shape of the vase as you like. The bunches of grapes dried out the longest because of the large mass of dough.

The dough is considered dry if it makes a ringing sound when tapped.

5. When all the details of the grapes were glued and dried, between them I made an eggshell crackle.

To do this, the shell, washed and cleaned of the inner film, is well dried. Then we smear with PVA glue the places where we will glue the shell, and apply small pieces, press them so that they crack. We move them apart. When the shell sticks and dries, cover again with PVA glue. Crackle is ready.

6. Now that everything is glued, let's start decorating vine. Here is a matter of taste. You can take any picture with the image of grapes and decorate it.

I have an airbrush, so I painted the leaves and grapes with it, and the twigs and tendrils with a brush. When everything is framed, cover the entire vase several times with acrylic varnish.

The vase is ready, you can put artificial flowers or a composition of dry flowers in it. I have peacock tail feathers in it.

Thank you all for your attention!

sqart for website

For a long time I looked at floor vases made by myself. But my 45 sq.m and my son, who just learned to walk, simply did not leave me such an opportunity. And then there was an opportunity - to try the new kind creativity on an adventurous exchange, which organized our forum "All by myself". And the work began to boil, it really boiled for a long time - a month, but that's what happened.

Description of the execution of the salt dough vase:

1 m of the thickest sewer pipe was bought, sawed off with a hacksaw 80 cm. The excess lies in the pantry - it is waiting in the wings. Cut out the bottom of plastic cover container - glued. At first, the vase was simply painted with an ordinary building primer and acrylic paint - the result was not impressive - the strokes of paint were too obvious. Then I glued a piece of ordinary wallpaper for painting - I painted it - I liked it.

I kneaded the most common salty dough, kept it wrapped in cling film in the refrigerator. I tore off a piece - otherwise the dough quickly winds up and dries. I rolled out the dough into a layer, a regular sheet from an indoor flower served as a template, cut out the amount I needed. She also pierced the veins of the leaves with a knife. Glued on the "Master" glue in a rather chaotic manner.

Then came the turn of the lilac clusters themselves. A small ball is made, a droplet is made from it, which we cut into 2 or 4 parts with manicure scissors. We open them a little - a lilac flower or a bud is ready. A bunch of such small flowers is going to. Glued directly to the base. I dried it near the battery, turning it one side, then the other. I decided to somehow decorate the top - cut out circles from the dough, glued it.

The main sculpting work was completed. I painted the clusters and leaves with watercolors, set off with shiny nail polish. Something was missing - my flowers looked like orphans on a white background - I walked along the convex parts of the wallpaper with blue paint. Birch vase coloring improved appearance. With an interval of a day, giving each time a good dry, covered 3 times with acrylic varnish.

Salt dough crafts, handmade vase will be wonderful home decorations and gifts for relatives and friends. Today we will talk about how to make a wonderful vase from this environmentally friendly material.

You will need:

• green salt dough
• salty dough orange color
• bottle of contact lens cleaner
• adhesive silicone gun
• scissors
• toothpicks
• acrylic paints
• sheet
• a piece of tulle or braid

How to do

We prepare source materials

To make a vase from salt dough, we need green salt dough, orange salt dough, a bottle of contact lens cleaner, a silicone glue gun, scissors, toothpicks, acrylic paints, a piece of paper, a piece of tulle or braid, varnish.

Making salt dough

So, for starters, we make colored salty dough. To do this, we need 3 parts flour, 2 parts fine salt and 1 part water. Mix water with food coloring of the desired color and pour it into salted flour, poured in a slide. We knead the dough well. If it crumbles, add a little water; if it seems watery, add flour. It is important to achieve a uniform color of the dough mass. We make salt dough in other colors we need.

Making the base of the vase

We cut off the top of the bottle of contact lens cleanser and we get the base of the vase. We take green salt dough and evenly distribute it over the surface of the plastic. To level the vase, roll it with your hands on a flat surface.

Making a relief

To make the vase more interesting, take a leaf and begin to carefully apply it to the vase so that prints are obtained.

We sculpt bees and dry

Now we sculpt bees from orange salt dough. To do this, we make an oval part from a piece of mass, then we separate the head from the abdomen with a stack. We break off a piece of a toothpick with a point and insert it into the middle of the head, forming a bee sting. Leave the craft to dry at room temperature for 1-2 days.

We form bees

Now we cover the vase with varnish. We decorate the bees with acrylic paints, making a black head and black stripes. We cut a rectangle from the fabric into the mesh, round the edges, tie it in the middle with a thread and glue it to the bee. We've got lids. It remains only to glue the bees to the vase.
