On the base of the snowflake, stick bent flagella like crossbars between the rays, and at the ends of the rays and in the center there are circles. Put the snowflake on the foil and ask the adults to bake your product in the oven: first, on foil at a temperature of 100 ° C for about half an hour, then remove the foil, leaving the snowflake on the wire rack, and increase the temperature to 125 °. Let the snowflake remain in the oven for another half hour.

When the snowflake has cooled down after the oven, paint it with light blue gouache and let it dry. Use super glue to fix rhinestones and crystals in the form of drops on the snowflake.

Today we invite you to find out the manufacturing technology do it yourself salt dough snowflakes.

  • paints (watercolor, gouache or acrylic)

Salted dough snowflakes - master class

Roll out the dough into a 3mm thick layer.

Use a square boat to mark the test.

Then we place the cutter so that its corners become perpendicular to the edges of the intended square.

After that, using a mock knife, cut out our snowflake along the contour.

In order for our snowflake not to be boring, it needs to be given some kind of relief. You can do this with anything. Find an embossed button like mine, a knitted napkin or lace, print from an embossed notebook, etc. Everything here is limited solely by your imagination.

After we have given the texture to the snowflakes, we create the centers. Using a smaller square cutter, we squeeze out the track without pushing it to the end.

In another snowflake, we do the same and cut out the middle with a breadboard knife.

Another type of snowflake can be made by rolling out a thin dough rope 2-3mm thick.

Then it must be divided into smaller segments 1.5-2 cm long and bend them so that the shape of a drop is obtained.

Blind five "droplets" together

and in the intervals we attach more "rays".

We will get these snowflakes.

Ours in the form of snowflakes need to be left for a day or two to dry.

After the snowflakes dry out, you need to paint them. This can be done with any paints: watercolors, gouache or acrylics. The only thing is that when using watercolors, the paint layer will need to be applied twice, because it is very strongly absorbed and the color becomes faded. And now, ours are ready to celebrate the holidays! Alternatively, you can make and manufacture which you will find on the website.

Decorating a Christmas tree is one of the most joyful and exciting experiences in every family. This is a reason to get everyone together and prepare your home for the long-awaited holiday.

Get creative using snowflake shapes of different sizes, as shown in the photo. Remember to make a small hole in the snowflake so you can hang it on the tree.

Repeat these steps with the remaining test.

When all the snowflakes are ready, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the snowflakes for 4 hours in an oven preheated to 80 degrees Celsius. Check the items every 30 minutes to ensure they don't burn.

Salted dough snowflakes can also dry out without an oven. It is enough to leave them to dry in the fresh air for several days.

The edges of the finished products need to be slightly sanded with a nail file to get rid of unpleasant roughness.

After the salted dough dries up, you can proceed to the most pleasant stage - painting and decorating snowflakes.

Materials and tools

Once upon a time there was a lump of salt dough in the refrigerator. Nobody wanted to be friends with him.

All the edibles in the fridge teased him:

Salty, tasteless, no one needs ...

The piece of dough was sad, and sometimes I even wanted to cry.

But one day ... a miracle happened. The refrigerator door opened and the dough heard the girl's voice:

Mom, what is it? White, soft? Can I eat it? Can I take?

Then the lump got upset again, sighed and thought:

Again I won't be of any use to anyone.

He closed his eyes, closed his eyes tightly so as not to see how he was again pushed aside.

A lump opened his eyes, and he was already on the table. I began to listen to the conversation between mother and girl. Mom said to the girl:

I will tell you how to turn this piece of salty dough into a New Year's miracle. After all, the New Year is coming soon!

The girl, of course, agreed to listen and do everything exactly.

And when he heard about the New Year and about snowflakes, a lump of dough took his breath away with delight:

Blimey! It's so beautiful! White, delicate, silvery ... It's so beautiful, so elegant!

The little lump waited patiently while they crumpled it with their palms, rolled it on the table, pricked it. He just really wanted to become beautiful and useful to someone. Let not tasty, for that beautiful!

Mom said that you need to prepare everything you need: cookie cutters, cutting stacks, paints, brushes, a rolling pin for dough.

A piece of salted dough should be rolled out into a 1.5 cm thick plate.

Using a regular saucer, squeeze out the circle.

In order to get an even, beautiful snowflake, you need to find the middle correctly.

Get creative with different sizes and shapes of molds, as shown in the photo.

Put the cut snowflakes on a microwave dish and bake them for 1 minute.

Here's what we got. The snowflakes must cool down before painting them.

Let's make some of the snowflakes white and some blue. To give them a magical look, apply some silvery glitters over the paint.

The snowflakes are ready. We leave them until the paint dries.

The girl laid out a New Year's composition from snowflakes, and her mother put a Christmas candle in the middle. And silver sparkles sparkled on the magic rays.

The lump of dough admired its reflection in the Christmas tree decorations. He really liked his new look. The girl said:

Mom, look at what beauty the lump of salt dough has become. The little lump was proud of himself and thought:

So what, what is not edible. It's even better, no one will eat me!

And when the guests came, I heard enthusiastic voices:

What's the beautiful! This is just a New Year's miracle!
