The long-awaited spring has come! And as we know, International Women's Day is celebrated in spring - March 8th. And of course, we immediately think about what to give our mothers and grandmothers. Of course, there is no better gift made with your own hands. We offer you a composition of salted dough "Volume postcard for March 8" (see photo. 1).

So, let's begin. To decorate a postcard, you can use decorative items purchased in a handicraft store, or get along with improvised materials.

1. Thick cardboard (size depends on the number of parts).

2. Salty dough (see preparation here).

3. A glass of water.

4. Brushes (for painting and gluing parts)

5. Toothbrush, ruler (for the "splatter" effect).

6. Watercolors and acrylics.

7. Varnish (you can use furniture).

We take the ready-made salted dough and pinch off the middle piece. This will be the figure eight. Next, we divide it into 2 parts and roll them out. It turned out two "sausages". For gluing to the cardboard, moisten one side of the "sausage" with a brush and attach it to the cardboard.

Salted dough flowers, a rose (photo. 2), a daffodil and a tulip (see how to make a rose, only here it will be larger).

Photo. 2 Flowers from salt dough. Salted dough rose.

For a daffodil from salted dough (photo 3), you need to make the middle of the flower. This is a small flattened ball. The petals are also small flattened balls, only elongated. We glue them from the bottom of our middle.

Photo. 3 Salted dough flowers. Salted dough daffodil.

For a tulip made of salted dough (photo 4), you also need a middle and the same elongated leaves. We glue these leaves in a circle with water.

Photo. 4 Flowers from salt dough. Salted dough tulip.

And so, it remains to make a sprig of mimosa from salted dough and decorate our picture with various curls. Let's make a "sausage" and attach it to the bottom right corner. This is a twig. Next, we make the "balls". To do this, pinch off a middle piece from the dough. We pinch off this piece a little more, and make small circles. We attach them to the water to a branch (photo 5).

Photo. 5 Salted dough mimosa.

Then, we lubricate all the items with water so that there are no cracks, and set to dry for about 4-6 days.

The scum had dried up by March 8th. It remains to make the background and color the work. We will make the background with the help of "splatter".

To do this, take an old toothbrush and a ruler. We moisten the brush in water, just not strongly, otherwise there will be huge traces of paint. We take a brush and apply any color you like to the brush.

Watercolors are needed. Now, take a ruler in hand. We put the brush slightly at an angle. And with a ruler, moving towards ourselves, we draw on the brush (see photo 6).

You can try it on a piece of paper first. This card used 4 splash colors: yellow, ocher, green and cherry.

Phot. 6 Performing the "spraying" technique.

When the paints are dry, you can cover everything with gloss varnish.

So, let's begin.

There are many recipes for cooking salt dough... I always use one:

1 glass of finely ground salt "Extra", 1.5 glasses of flour, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of non-greasy face or hand cream (can be replaced with vegetable oil, 0.5 cups of warm water.

Mix salt and flour in a container. Add cream to water, mix. Gradually pouring water into salt and flour, mix until smooth.

In order to avoid drying out, we wrap the finished dough in cling film.

In this form dough can be stored in the refrigerator, for example, waiting for the next arrival of inspiration (I have - for this the craft took about 1/3 of the test, the rest awaits next weekend).

Next, we take the foil (paper is not useful here, because it will stick to our product during the drying process) and a rolling pin. Roll out our 1/3 test to about 0, 5 - 0.7mm. We cut it out with a regular stack. You can use a template, but I did without it.

We make jewelry. I have 3 roses and 3 leaves. You can also make other flowers, it all depends on your desire and imagination.

We glue the jewelry to the main workpiece with a brush and plain water. We also process the edges of the product with a brush and water in order to remove flaws.

Our product is ready for drying. I dry in the oven at 120-130 degrees for about 40-50 minutes. Drying time depends on the thickness of the product. V natural conditions can dry up to several days.

We paint with gouache, wait until it dries. We cover with a colorless varnish in order to avoid further staining of fingers or clothes in contact with the product, as well as to make the product shine.

We enjoy the result!

Thank you for your attention!

Salted dough crafts have become popular not so long ago, although their origins lie in the most ancient layers of Slavic culture. Work with this.

Greetings to my beloved blog readers and guests !! Sometime in the distant past I worked as a teacher in a kindergarten, a very interesting job, but little paid ... But today we will not be talking about that !! It's just that whoever worked in this system knows that all materials that we use in creativity with children must be environmentally friendly or certified. Therefore, home-made tools come to the aid of purchased stationery. And the simplest means for development is salty dough.

Salted dough has been familiar from ancient times and is popular in our time, because it is very easy to make it, and sculpting from such a soft material is a pleasure. And what kind of crafts! Just a lovely sight !! I have not worked in the garden for a long time, but at home with my baby we often do modeling, and what was my surprise that not everyone knows how to make dough and what you can get out of it. Therefore, I decided to write an article on this topic.

And for a change, you can also make New Year's crafts from scrap materials, ideas with your children.

First of all, we need to understand the process of making our safe material. In fact, there are not so many recipes, but I will introduce you to a method proven over the years.

We need:

• Small salt - 1 tbsp.;
• Flour - 1 tbsp.;
• Water -125 ml;
• Vegetable oil - 5 tablespoons.

Manufacturing process:

Take a deep bowl and mix the salt and flour in it. Next, pour in a small amount of water and vegetable oil. Stir well and refrigerate for 2 hours. The sculpting dough is ready. You can leave it in that color, and after making the work, paint it in the desired color. Or you can immediately add natural or synthetic dyes: choose gouache or vegetable juice (carrots, beets), you can also use cocoa.

On a note!! To sculpt thin shapes, add glue to the dough. And remember that when it dries, our mass loses color, so add more dye.

Step-by-step instructions for making dough crafts for beginners

Now that you know how to prepare material for creativity, it's time to start the sculpting process itself. We'll start with the simplest. I will show you step by step how you can easily and quickly make a beautiful thing. We will sculpt a cute bear with you.

1. First, knead the dough: mix half a glass of flour and half a glass of salt, add a little water and mix everything well. Then we wait for 2 hours, at which time the dough is in the refrigerator.

2. Now we start sculpting the figure: we make one medium-sized ball for the head, a larger one for the body and 7 smaller ovals for the legs, ears and nose. We connect everything together. Then we put the product in the oven and dry it for an hour. After drying, take out the craft and cool it.

Advice!! Cover the finished souvenir with varnish. This will make the craft brighter and more practical !!

Thus, a step-by-step instruction for sculpting products from salt dough is as follows:

• knead the dough;
• we sculpt the necessary elements and connect them together;
