Money fish in the house is an amulet that promotes your well-being, gold fish, as everyone knows from childhood, fulfills all the wishes of the fish owner. It would be nice to have all these copies that provide a carefree existence. Why not make your own fish from salt dough ?!

Even if you have a very strong desire, you cannot do anything if there is no source material. Even fish made from salt dough will remain just a pipe dream if you don’t have this very dough. So, let's start the master class with kneading and studying exact recipe. Moreover, the whole process will take only 5-10 minutes.

The video shows the simplest, most affordable and reliable recipe for salt dough, from which you can then do it yourself original crafts. As you watch, you will see that the kneading master class jumps to the newspaper for a few seconds. The dough is kneaded on a newspaper bed. It's better not to do this. Printing ink is toxic.

Some experts replace the starch that is part of the salt dough with the usual wallpaper paste. This can be done if you know for sure that your craft will not be eaten by anyone close to you.

That is why for do-it-yourself dough coloring in various colors, we recommend using only food colorings. They must be added to the water before kneading the salt dough. With such an edible plastic material, your baby can create masterpieces without the risk of poisoning.

Such DIY handmade material can be stored for a month. During this period, it will not lose its plastic properties if you put it in a plastic bag and place it in the refrigerator. Yes, and the dough is easier to work with if it has just been taken out of the refrigerator.

We have prepared the material from which the money fish will be molded.

In addition to it, we need:

• cardboard;
• foil;
• rolling pin;
• scotch;
• stacks;
• caps from ballpoint pens;
• coins;
• tassel;
• water;
• dyes;
• braid.

5. Now let your imagination run free and start decorating the fish. Several methods are used. With a stack, draw stripes on the gills, fins and tail, use a cap from a ballpoint pen to draw a pattern on the sides of the fish. Make a few balls, flatten them a little into thick cakes and glue them to the fish with water. Put a coin in the center and push it in. Glue on the lip strips and eyeballs.
   
   
6. Dry the craft in any way convenient for you.
   
   
7. Dilute the dark dye in a thick concentration and paint over all the recesses of the puff pastry with it. Let dry.

gold fish

A craft that you can do with your own hands by watching a master class on a video cannot be eaten, even if you are very hungry. Aniline and other chemical dyes are used for its coloring.

Salt dough goldfish looks great not only as a decorative panel on the wall. It is also an original pendant on the chest, a strong amulet and almost food.

Sun and moon

Based on the work of the artist Dan Morris in the primitive style, crafts from salt dough moon fish and sun fish are interesting. They are painted with acrylic dyes using brushes of different thicknesses. The plot can be anything.

Which is an excellent material for making various kinds of crafts, for example, such a fish from salt dough. So, who wants to try their hand at making it, we offer a master class of salt dough fish, the photo of which will show all the stages of work.

We start by kneading the salt dough traditional recipe: one glass of flour of any kind, half a glass of fairly fine salt, one tablespoon of vegetable oil and half a glass of water.

We first dissolve the salt in water, for which you need to stir it for a long time. Then add vegetable oil and a little bit of pain.

We begin to knead the dough until smooth and elastic, when it stops sticking to the hands.

Of course, you first need to find and print, or just draw a fish that will be sculpted from dough and cut it out along the contour.

Now we put such a paper stencil on the rolled out layer and cut it out along the contour, but already the dough.

Then it starts over creative process, during which we form eyes, lips, and also fins. All elements are glued to the base of the fish with water.

Pay attention to the way fish scales are formed. In this case, a shoehorn of the right size was used. Moreover, you can use all available means, the main thing is to show ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Do not forget to make a hole in the blank so that the finished fish can be hung on a string as a decoration.

Then comes the drying stage, which can take place both in the house, on the street, and in the oven. The last method is the fastest, which takes place in the oven. It must be heated to a temperature of seventy degrees.

When the fish is dry, we grind all the irregularities with sandpaper, while removing small irregularities, roughness, etc.

At this stage, the fish will acquire its own color, for which acrylic paints should be used. In our case, mother-of-pearl shades and metallics are ideal.

After the fish is completely painted and dried, it is varnished. It remains only to pick up a ribbon and the fish can take its rightful place in the overall decor of your room or become a gift to a friend or loved one.

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 for sure cold water which must be pre-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!

Being a sculptor is fun! Creating even a small sculpture is uplifting. And the most interesting thing is that you do not need to be a professional and buy clay, you can become an original artist. Salt dough products have long been included in the list of the most interesting handicrafts. Some masters reach such heights in their products that it is difficult to distinguish them from clay ones. The secret lies not only in experienced hands, but also in the dough recipe. A fish from a pre-prepared salt dough can become both an independent product and the result of spending time together with a child.

We sculpt a bright and original fish from salt dough with our own hands

This article will show a detailed master class for those who are interested in this technique.

Now in stores there is a huge selection of material and kits for modeling. The basis for modeling can be divided into three categories:

1. Natural clay.
2. Synthetic mass for modeling.
3. Salty dough.

The test is more convenient to do with young children. It is no longer scary that he will swallow some kind of chemistry, and the quality is very suitable for tiny hands.

What is needed for good recipe? How to make it so ready product not cracked? And what other secrets do skilled craftsmen keep?

Anyone can make their own salt dough with ingredients they have at home. For classic recipe will need:

1. Salt is small.
2. Wheat flour.

Already these three ingredients Enough for simple fun with kids. Salt and flour are taken in a one-to-one ratio, 300 g of salt and 300 g of flour, 200 ml of water, a faceted glass is an excellent container for measuring the required volume if there is no measuring utensils. In the absence of fine salt, coarse salt can be ground in a coffee grinder. The smaller the grains, the more elastic dough and less chance of product cracking. It is better to cool the water by placing it in the freezer for a short time. From this amount, a fairly large lump of dough is obtained. For convenience, you can reduce the number of ingredients in equal proportions.

Salt must be dissolved in water. Next, add flour, but not all at once. It is better to add flour and add water gradually, as needed. But for a good hostess, this is an easy task. Intensive kneading improves the quality for modeling. The dough should immediately be removed in a plastic bag to prevent the formation of a dry crust. She is unsuitable for modeling.

For products of finer work, you need to change the composition of the test. Adding 1 tablespoon of starch will add elasticity to the dough. PVA glue will give strength if you need to keep the product as long as possible. For fun, it's worth trying both recipes to feel the difference, which immediately catches your eye.

To get started, you need to search the Internet for your favorite photo. It will become a sketch of your product. A novice master can redraw the shape of a fish directly from the computer screen, so as not to waste time on careful, accurate redrawing. The drawing is a template for further details. Now "break" the pattern into patterns. Separately, you need to cut the following parts:

1. General body shape.

Everything is clear here, the image circled in pencil is the main pattern.

1. texture

The presence of an interesting pattern on the scales can be shown in several ways. In this case, the author applies and slightly presses a textured woven napkin. Scales can be cut in the form of parts separately and applied to the base. Holes of different sizes look good, arranged in a chaotic or harmonious order. In general, it is the small details of the decor that distinguish interesting works from the general mass. Add coins, beautiful beads or beads and your fish will become magical.

1. Volumetric details

Fins, and a tail, and any volumetric decor can be attributed to this category. In overseas fish, these are the most colorful parts of the body. Therefore, it is worth showing all their uniqueness on a dough product. Do not skimp on fantasy, it will tell you what and how to decorate. In this case, the author decided to use the decoration with flowers. In the same way, you can process the eyes, if, as planned, they are not cut out.

The dough rolls out neatly. You need to make sure that there is a uniform thickness, otherwise this can lead to problems when gluing or drying. The parts are superimposed on each other, lubricating the gluing joints with a brush. After that, it is placed on flat surface and goes to dry. If patience allows, you can also dry it outdoors. The dough is perfectly self-hardening. If you need to speed up the process, you can send the workpiece to the oven, heated to seventy degrees. If you used plastic decor, then it is better to leave the workpiece to dry on its own.

The fish is dry and needs to be very carefully processed with fine-grained sandpaper and walked with a dry brush to remove all the dust that has formed. It remains only to paint the product. Any paint can be used. But acrylics are the best for this job. They dry quickly. They are not washed off with water after drying, i.e. it will be easy to wipe the dust off the product with a slightly damp cloth. Non-toxic and durable in use. This means that a wonderful fish made from salty dough, convenient for modeling, will delight the eye of its creator for a long time.
