Everyone is waiting for the family and good New Year's holiday in the family. As you know, the Christmas tree is a symbol of this most beloved holiday. And without Christmas toys on the tree here is not enough. Now in the store and on the market a huge selection of various decorations for the Christmas tree.

But I still want to do something with my own hands. The little thing created with your own hands will look perfect on the Christmas tree. It is very interesting for our children to be engaged in such needlework. In the manufacture of Christmas decorations, be sure to take the children in your team.

So, let's try to make Christmas snowflakes with your own hands. For their manufacture, you can use a variety of material - salted dough, foil, paper, and even dry pasta. And if you have the skill of crochet, then knitted snowflakes will look perfect on the New Year's beauty.

We start making Christmas fairytale snowflakes from salt dough. You can make snowflakes out of dough in two ways. To begin with, you should cook the salt dough itself. To do this, take one part of the flour, two parts of plain water and one part of salt. It is recommended to add some vegetable oil to these ingredients. Thanks to this, the dough will become elastic

Now from it you need to make thin sausages, from which to make a monogram. The sausage tips are folded into neat spirals and connected so as to form a loop. The first element of the snowflake is ready. The second element is a loop, which is simple and easy. The dough sausage is neatly rolled into a loop, and the extra tips are cut off.

To make one such snowflake, you need to prepare four monograms, twelve loops of salt dough. In the center there must be a small circle of dough. Around it are located monograms, in which spirals inside our snowflakes. Between the spirals monograms are placed with a cone down four loops. Eight loops cone top placed between the loops of monograms. Snowflake ready!

You can also make a snowflake from a single piece of dough. From the dough, by rolling, you need to make a narrow layer. Using a stencil, cut a snowflake, in which then make holes for the tape. After drying, it is necessary to paint it with white paint and decorate with toffee or curls. Christmas decoration is ready!

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

The edges of the finished products need a little polish nail file to get rid of unpleasant roughness.

After the salt dough dries, you can proceed to the most enjoyable stage - painting and decorating snowflakes.

It is possible to paint products from salt dough with special food dyes, watercolor, acrylic paints or gouache.

After the paint dries, use a thin tassel to decorate the snowflakes with various patterns. There are no special rules, show imagination and paint snowflakes at your discretion, decorate them with beads, beads or other decorative material.

To fix the color, cover the snowflakes with a layer of colorless varnish or transparent acrylic paint in several layers.
