Needlework Club. Original ideas for crafts and figurines from salt dough with a photo

Today I want to show you a collection of new crafts from salt dough. This time it will be a whole flock of fish - flour salts. By the way, in the Russian North, fish made from salt dough did not serve simple decorations and toys, but amulets. Since ancient times, bread and salt have served as symbols of abundance, wealth and prosperity in the family. Fish also serve as a symbol of good luck and spiritual achievement in many cultures. Such a symbiosis of wealth and good luck is a very good idea for a gift to your loved ones or to decorate your own home. And if it is made with love, it will surely bring happiness to its owner ...

All these fish are made according to this recipe for making salt dough:
400 g flour
400 g salt
200 ml water
50 ml PVA glue
1 tbsp starch
1 tbsp glycerin
1 tbsp oil.

Moreover, I would like to note that 400 g of flour and 400 g of salt are not equal in volume. Salt is approximately twice as dense as flour, therefore we take the volume with a difference of two times. We add starch and glycerin to give elasticity to our dough, although you can do without it. Oil can be replaced with a greasy hand cream, this will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands. Knead the dough for modeling with cold water, which must first be cooled in the refrigerator. After thorough kneading, the dough should be wrapped in cellophane and put in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

After modeling, the resulting salt dough crafts are best dried in the open air (sunlight, battery), so they will retain their white color. Drying time depends on the thickness of the product - approximately 1mm - 1 day. Of course, you can dry products from salt dough in the oven, but be sure to give them a couple of days to pre-dry in the air. Dry at the lowest temperatures with the door ajar. The best option there will be electric furnaces with ventilation. And remember - you can’t bake products from salt dough!

At the end of drying, we color the crafts from salt dough. It all depends on your imagination. You can use paints with a dull palette - gouache is best suited here, which, as it dries, can be lightly rubbed with a rough rag, which will add depth to the paints. You can use acrylic paints, then your flour salts will be bright and joyful. From above, the craft must be varnished, you can use colorless furniture varnish, you can also cover it with acrylic varnish.

When your musolki are ready, you can decorate them with a framed pano, stick a magnetic strip and give it as a commemorative fridge magnet or attach a loop to hang it on a string as an independent decoration. And remember, when making gifts with your own hands, you put your energy into them, so start creating only in a good mood!

Modeling is one of the most useful activities for kids. With its help, not only fine motor skills of the hands develop, but also perseverance, imaginative thinking and coordination of movements are developed.

One of the best materials for modeling with a child - salty dough. It is absolutely safe, does not contain harmful additives and is easy to use. DIY salt dough crafts will be wonderful souvenirs for your relatives and friends.

Universal Recipes

Salt dough recipes are plentiful. Each master makes his own additives in them, choosing the right consistency. The main products for kneading dough are salt, flour and water.

Depending on the purpose, its density may be different:

• dense dough - for large parts and creating massive panels;
• universal dough of medium consistency - it is convenient to make small pictures and figures from it;
• soft dough- gentle and supple, it is suitable for small elements, exquisite flowers and figurines.

Some needlewomen measure ingredients in grams, others prefer to use proportions in parts.

dense dough

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. food salt - 1 part;
3. water - 0.7 parts.

That is, to knead this type of dough, you need to take one identical measure (glass, cup, tablespoon) of salt and flour and 0.7 of the same measure of water.

In a deep bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gradually add cold water. The dough should be homogeneous and very dense. There will be grains of salt in it - this is normal, do not worry. Depending on the moisture and quality of the flour and salt, a little more or less water may be needed. Therefore, you can not pour it into the dough all at once.

Medium consistency dough (universal)

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. water - 1 part;
3. food salt - ½ part;
4. finely ground salt (extra) - ½ part.

By replacing half of the coarse salt with fine salt, this type of dough is more plastic and pliable. From such an obedient mass it is convenient to sculpt even a child. But for the smallest details and realistic crafts, such a dough is also not suitable.

soft dough

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. hot water - 1/4 part;
3. finely ground salt (extra) - 1 part;
4. PVA glue - ¾ parts.

Combine salt with flour, then add thick PVA glue and mix. Slowly adding hot water, knead a soft dough. It needs to be wrapped in cling film, let rest and cool down.

This dough is ideal for complex work. It perfectly holds its shape, retaining prints and the texture created on it. Its quality directly depends on the quality of the selected adhesive.

Figures molded from salt dough with glue are different special strength. They will please their owner for more than one year.

1. If you plan to paint finished goods, it is better to take wheat flour, although rye can also be used for salt dough.
2. You can not take iodized salt - finished figures may crack when dried.
3. The dough can be tinted during kneading. For this, they are used food colorings or watercolor.
4. The finished dough must be wrapped in cling film or a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
5. A failed dough can be reanimated. You need to add a little more flour to the watery one and knead again, moisten the too tight dough with water and knead, achieving the desired consistency.
6. Do not add grease or hand cream to the dough to be dyed, as the paint will not adhere evenly.
7. The finished dough should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. It loses its qualities and it will be inconvenient to work with it.
8. Volumetric products are best sculpted on wire or cardboard frames so that they do not fall apart.
9. Crafts can be dried naturally, left for a couple of days, baked in warm oven Or leave next to the battery. It is categorically not recommended to put figurines on the battery itself to avoid cracking them.
10. It is best to paint crafts with acrylic paint or gouache. Watercolor should not be used: there is a risk of soaking and spoiling the product.
11. The junction of the parts must be moistened with water using a brush. So they are firmly and quickly connected.
12. The finished souvenir can be covered with colorless nail polish or acrylic varnish. This will protect it from moisture and the paint from fading.

Armed with new knowledge, try to put it into practice.
