The origins of dough modeling go back a long way. There is a legend that it was invented by Slavic cooks who were bored and had fun by creating interesting, edible figures from dough. In addition, this material is one of the cheapest and available to everyone. That’s why this type of creativity is popular in our time; everyone has flour, water and salt in their home. So, a few interesting crafts made from salt dough with your own hands, with photos and step-by-step instructions.

Crafts made from salt dough

If you decide to touch this art, and testoplasty really is such, you need to learn in detail about the material from which you will sculpt. For beginners who like to make dough, it is worth noting that the recipe is very simple.

• Flour - one glass
• Salt - half a glass
• Water – 125 ml

It is worth remembering that salt is heavier than flour, so you need to use half as much of it!

To sculpt thin relief figures, you need to add PVA glue, or starch, or wallpaper glue to the dough. Optionally, one tablespoon at a time, pre-mix wallpaper glue with water. To make the kneading process easier, use a mixer; it will make it better and make it easier to work with your hands.
For modeling colored dough, food coloring is used; if you don’t have any, you can use regular paint. If you need to get saturated color chocolate, add a small amount of cocoa. Remember that when the dough dries, it loses its color saturation. Therefore, it is better to transfer the dye than not to transfer it. Coating the finished dough craft with varnish will make it brighter and more practical.

There are two most common ways to dry salt dough. The first method: the finished craft will dry on its own. The main thing is that straight lines do not fall on it Sun rays, otherwise it will crack. The craft can be placed on a flat surface and wait a few days. Second method: dry the finished craft in the oven for 3 to 6 hours (depending on the size of the craft). Drying occurs in batches with breaks. One approach is 1-2 hours. For quick drying in one go, set the oven to 75-100 degrees, 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 method: after drying, paint the finished craft with acrylic paints or gouache using a brush. Second method: food coloring is diluted in water, then added while preparing the dough. When the craft is completely painted and dried, it must be coated with transparent manicure or furniture varnish in 2-3 layers. Each layer must dry before applying the next. This way the craft will last for a long time.

If you want to create a bright souvenir with your own hands - a symbol of 2019, make a pig figurine from salt dough! Such a craft will not only serve as a symbol of the year, bringing good luck, but will also decorate the holiday in the best possible way.

In one MK we brought to life three New Year's ideas for making pigs. Now you can make the same ones with us!

Do-it-yourself piglets and pig magnets made from dough

Our master class will show you step by step how to make a pig from salt dough or other modeling mass.

What you need to create a craft:

• Ingredients for the dough:
  • flour: 1 cup;
  • salt: 0.5 cups;
  • water: 50-80 ml;
  • vegetable oil- 2-3 tbsp. spoons.
• paints;
• clear nail polish;
• magnets;
• decorative elements.

Preparing the dough for modeling

The recipe is extremely simple, mix flour with salt, add water and vegetable oil. Mix the mixture well until smooth.

The dough should not stick to your hands or crumble. If the dough is sticky, add a little flour, if it crumbles, add water.

We print out the template and decide on the size of the craft.

1. Take a small piece of dough, make a ball-head and a flattened oval-body.
2. We create legs from small pieces, attach them to the body, and tuck them behind the back.
3. We rub the seams with fingers dipped in water.
4. Small cylinders are future legs. You need to make holes in the middle of the workpieces with a match so that you can conveniently fasten the parts together.
5. Insert half a match into the lower base of the body on both sides.
6. We fasten the legs and smooth the seams with water.

1. We form a patch and fasten it in place.
2. Draw the contours of the face.
3. We fasten the ears in place.

Pig magnet girl made from salt dough: step by step instructions

• Take a small piece of dough and roll it out to a thickness of 0.5-.7 cm.
• Place the template on top and cut along the contour.
• Remove the paper blank and “wash” the edges with water.
• We apply contour drawing- highlight the eyes, mouth, collar and buttons.
• We form and attach a patch to the face.

We sculpt a magnet in the shape of a plump pig

Let's take it new template and repeat all stages of work like the previous MK.

Are the crafts ready? We send them to dry in the oven. We usually dry salt dough products at a temperature of 180°-190°.

The salt dough pigs, intended for creating magnets, dried and browned in 15 minutes; the three-dimensional figure was dried for an additional 10 minutes at a temperature of 150°.

Product tinting

The next step is to paint the products in one tone. For these purposes, you can use black, brown or dark blue paint. Tinting the base is done to make the crafts look more natural due to the play of light and shadow.

It is better to apply paint to the figures with a foam stamp or sponge, and you need to drive the paint into all existing cracks.

Let the paint soak in for 15 minutes and move on to the next stage.

Removing unnecessary things

Now we need to remove excess paint so that it remains only in the recesses and cracks.

To do this, take a kitchen sponge, moisten it with water and begin to wipe off the paint. If you are hesitant to do this, look first.

After this, we send the “three little pigs” to the oven and dry them there at a temperature of 150° for 5-10 minutes.

Coloring the pigs correctly

Are the products dry and cool? Then you can start painting them.

Very rarely do you have the colors you want on hand. Therefore, let's take a palette or a piece of cardboard and mix paints.

In the photo above you can see how you can color the pig. We painted the face with flesh color, mixing white, red and brown paint. Clothes and accessories can be painted in any color you wish.

If you want your pig to be able to stand, make a stand in the form of a square or oval (tubercle) from salt dough.

Opening crafts with varnish

IN modern conditions it's easy to find a special varnish for similar work, but since we are making crafts at home, using only improvised material, we will open the pigs with ordinary colorless nail polish.

Practice has shown that it is no worse than expensive means.

If the paint is completely dry, you can start varnishing the figures. It is enough to open them in one layer and let the varnish dry.

Then you can decorate the pigs with sequins or half-beads. You can sprinkle glitter on top of the varnish.

Now you can attach the three-dimensional pig figurine to the stand, and attach magnets to the rest of the crafts.

We admire the results of our joint work!
