Spider-man figurine from mastic, figurine modeling. How to make beautiful figurines from mastic

In this article I will try to detail some of the features of making mastic jewelry with your own hands for beginners.

Basics

I am often asked about what kind of mastic is better to sculpt figures. For a while I worked with both store-bought fondant made from various recipes and sugar paste, but I always came back to my recipe because I know how to tailor it to my needs.

Here I will not describe the process of making complex figures, but I will simply try to tell in detail about how to make figures from mastic with my own hands. We will be making a person with relatively realistic body proportions and simple clothing. I am sure that everyone who follows these instructions will eventually learn how to create excellent fondant figures for children's cake, and that this knowledge will help in the future when moving on to more complex techniques and making figures with outstretched arms, as well as modeling animals from mastic.

If you have any questions about how to sculpt figurines from mastic, feel free to ask them in the comments. I will try to answer them as quickly as possible, but still remember that I am a busy person, so do not expect immediate answers from me.

Remember that all this is not the ultimate truth, but just my own work, and you may have a different view on how to make figures from cake fondant. Therefore, there are no hard and fast rules here, other than perhaps the placement of parts, so tailor these tips to your needs and preferences.

Necessary materials and tools

In my work, I try to avoid unnecessary expensive tools and often use what I already have at home. I will stick with this idea in this tutorial and will try to keep the amount of stuff you need to make sugar paste figurines to a minimum.

To make a simple mastic figurine, you will need:

• Mastic of different colors for the manufacture of the following parts: pants, boots, sweaters, leather, hair;
• Several toothpicks. Note: Do not give fondant products containing toothpicks to small children and be sure to warn everyone else that they are contained inside. You can replace them with hard pasta if you wish, let everyone know anyway;
• Salt shaker with powdered or corn syrup, whichever you prefer. If you don't have a salt shaker, you can use a spoon instead;
• Cutting board (as smooth as possible);
• Sharp, non-serrated knife;
• Small or medium ball-shaped mastic tool;
• Small pastry brush;
• Water in a small container;
• Black food gel coloring;
• The surface on which you will place the figures, such as a cake or, if you make them in advance, a piece of foam;
• A printed sketch of a person (see below).

Through trial and error, I realized that as I made figures from mastic, each next detail turned out to be larger than the previous one, and as a result, I got disproportionate crafts from mastic. It was also difficult for me to make several figures of the same size if I did it by eye. For this reason, I started using sketches similar to the one above and the mastic cake figures began to turn out to be the right size for me. Just upload this sketch to any graphic editor (I use Irfanview), set the desired height of the future figure and print the sketch. This approach can also be applied when decorating a cake to figure out how to arrange the figures and what sizes they should be.

The height of the figurine described in this article is 6.3 cm.
Putty is usually sticky, so to roll it out properly and avoid sticking to the board and fingers, dust your work surface and hands with powdered sugar. Don't worry about the whole figurine being covered in powdered sugar; you can easily clean it up afterwards.

To glue the pieces of mastic, apply a thin layer of water to one of them with a brush and press them together. You may need to move them around a bit to stick them together, but usually just water is enough. Some people like to use different types of store-bought or homemade edible glue, but I usually don't bother with this. Water glues perfectly in almost all cases.

If you are working in a dry area, you may need to soften your putty to prevent cracking of the surface. To do this, just mix a small amount of water into the dough and warm it in your hands. Try to do everything quickly so that the mastic does not have time to dry and start to crack. In humid conditions, you may need to mix in additional powdered sugar and increase the time between stages so that the parts of the figure do not mix.

We sculpt a person

Roll out a long snake from blue mastic. Make sure its thickness matches the thickness of the leg on the printed sketch. Don't worry about it getting too long - you can always cut off the excess.

Using the blunt side of the knife, make a notch in the middle of the snake and bend the mastic along it.

Lay the bent snake over the sketch so that the bent edge is near the hips. Trim the bottom of the pants if necessary.

Turn the pants over and lay next to the sketch. Using the blunt part of the knife, make indentations at the knees. They will help prevent the formation of wrinkles when bending.

Gently turn the knife a few times to make the indentation wider. The back of the legs should look like this:

If you are going to decorate the cake right now, you can wet the back of your feet with water and place them on the edge of the cake. I made a figurine on foam, so I’ll tell you about the features of this case later.

Put a handful of powdered sugar on the surface and, gently bending your knees, place them on the edge of the foam.

For greater stability of the figure, you can moisten the gap between the pants and carefully, so as not to damage the shape, press one leg to the other.

Make two even balls of black fondant a little larger than in the sketch (boots require more paste than feet without them, unless you are making thin slippers of course). To get the same balls, you can use such a tricky trick: make a thick sausage with flattened ends out of mastic and cut it in half.

Shape the balls into water droplets, but without the pointy end at the top, and then press down lightly.

Break a toothpick in half and insert each into the bottom of your legs. Leave the protrusion just long enough to hold the boot.

Wet the top and sides of the boots (and the back if you're decorating the cake now) with water and slide them over the protruding parts of the toothpicks.

Insert a toothpick into the top of the legs so that it goes a little deeper into the foam, but make sure that there is enough length on top to put the body on it.

Make a mastic bar that is wider on one side. Its thickness may vary depending on the size of your figure. I find that 1.3 cm thickness is suitable for most cases.

Now put it on the sketch. The upper edge of the bar should reach the shoulders, respectively, the lower edge - to the legs. The bar should be level near the shoulders, but you can make an indentation in the opposite part of it if you want the sweater to go over the pants a little.

After adding some water, put the body on a toothpick and press it on top so that it sticks to the legs.

Press down on the bar from the bottom along the sides so that its edges are in line with the hips.

Roll out a long snake from the mastic of the same color as the body, put it on the sketch along the line of the hand and cut off the excess, while not taking into account the length of the hand and fingers, which we will do next. From above, cut the snake along the vertical line of the body (at an acute angle).

If you need to make hands that would be in a horizontal position, then the angle needs to be made more obtuse. The sharp angle is needed so that the hands are close to the body, and the hands of the figurine are on the knees, because in this case it will not be necessary to make any internal supports or wait for the mastic to harden.

Do the same with the other hand, while checking that they are the same length.

Mark the elbow bend with the blunt side of the knife.

Bend your arm along the line, and from the back side with your fingertips make elbows. Unlike the knees, the elbows should be slightly pointed. If the arm becomes loose after this, add a little water to the crook of the elbow and press lightly to seal the edges of the indentation.

Using a ball tool, make small indentations at the base of the arms. They are needed so that the hands look like extensions of the arms, and not as if they were torn off the body and then glued back on.

Moisten the surface of the hand that will be adjacent to the body with water and press it against the torso and leg. As you do this, shape your shoulders as needed.

Don't place the bases of the arms close together, unless you're going to do folded arms. And this will most likely be difficult to do without bending them at an unnatural angle.

Then insert another toothpick into the torso from above, this will be the inner support for the head. Stick it deep enough so that it does not come out of the head on the other side.

Leave the hands to harden for a while before you start making the palms.

From the flesh-colored mastic, roll out a drop-shaped ball and place it on the sketch. The ball should slightly cover the contours of the head on the sketch, but no more. In general, it is better to make the head a little smaller, since due to the hair it can be enlarged later.

It is usually difficult for beginners to do a bare neck well, so it is better to replace it with a sweater collar. To do this, make a small thick cylinder of mastic and put it on a toothpick.

Make a small indentation in front.

Take the head made in the previous steps and put it on the toothpick at an angle. The chin should look forward, otherwise the head will look like a ball.

Using a ball-shaped tool, make small holes for the eyes.

From a very small piece of fondant, roll out a drop-shaped ball and press it down with your fingers.

Then attach it to the head so that its sharp top is flush with the brow ridges.

Make the nostrils with a toothpick, while taking it a little to the side to indicate the shape of the nose.

The mouth can be made in two ways: draw or cut. You can cut out the mouth with the tip of a sharp knife.

When you're done, lightly press down on the bottom half of your mouth with the knife to define the bottom lip.

With a toothpick, form the lower part of the lip and, with slight pressure, cover the mouth of the figurine.

Use the sharp end of a toothpick to shape the top lip in the middle, making a small notch.

The easiest way to mold hands is to make them in the form of mittens. For those who want to make more realistic outlines of the hands, below are detailed instructions.

Roll out a hand-sized piece of fondant on the template and shape it into a drop shape, as you did in the previous steps for the head and nose.

Then decide which hand you are doing: right hand or left hand. Put your hand next to the piece of fondant to see which way the thumb should be turned.

Make a wedge cut as shown in the photo below.

Draw a knife to indicate the thumb.

Cut out another small piece to give the finger the desired shape.

Make cuts to form the rest of the fingers.

Gently smooth the sharp corners with your fingers.

With a ball tool, form light indentations in the palms.

Turning the hand and pressing it lightly with your fingers, make a round wrist.

After adding some water to the leg and sleeve, insert the wrist there. Nails can be marked with the tip of a toothpick.

Make the other hand in the same way as above.

One of the easiest ways to make hair is to mold it into a hat or pot. Take a piece of mastic and shape it like in the picture below. It should have a flat surface on the bottom and a slightly convex top.

While pressing the mastic with your thumb and forefinger, turn it.

When shaping your hair, always check how it will look on your head to find the right size. When you get the right size, pinch the ends of your hair so it's thin and doesn't look like a helmet.

Moisten the inner surface of the hair with water and gently attach to the head.

To make curls, run a sharp knife along the edge of the hair a couple of times.

Long hair can easily be made by simply pressing the mastic on one side more than the other.

If you decide to mold the ears on the figurine, make small cuts in the hair, as shown below.

Tear off a small piece of mastic and give it the same shape as in the photo.

With the sharp end of a toothpick, make two holes in the piece.

Connect these pits with a groove, while pressing to the side to form the edge of the ear. Poke a hole in the bottom of the ear.

Keep improving the shape until you are happy with the result.

Anoint with a wet brush the ear in the center on the outside, which will be adjacent to the head, and attach it in place.

Look at the figurine from several angles to make sure that the ears do not stick out.

Draw eyebrows and eyes with black gel dye.

The figurine is ready!

I hope that now you don’t have a question about how to make a figurine from mastic for a cake and surprise your family and friends with your masterpiece.

The art of modeling from mastic has recently burst into cooking. Now almost all pastries and cakes are decorated with figurines and various patterns from mastic. In addition, completely unimaginable forms can be sculpted from this mass, which together can create a whole cartoon plot or a romantic bouquet.

What is mastic, is it difficult to make figurines out of it?

Mastic itself is an adhesive and astringent, which, moreover, is edible. If it is kneaded correctly, then it will be similar in its consistency to plasticine.

There are several varieties of this mass. It is created from different products and kneaded in different ways. The most famous:

• Honey: It has a softer look. Suitable for modeling almost any figures, does not crumble and does not fall apart;
• Mastic based on gelatin is distinguished by its high speed of solidification and hardening. Most suitable for preparing the smallest parts;
• Dairy is one of the most common. Condensed milk is used as the main ingredient. Ideal for creating a base and a solid cover for a cake, as well as medium-sized figurines;
• Marzipan is used to cover the cake. It is very soft and not suitable for sculpting figurines;
• Industrial or universal mastic is bought in stores. It is used both for modeling and rolled out for the base. It practically does not differ in taste from home;
• Flower - this type of mastic is best suited for creating jewelry where fine work with small details is required.

Each of these types is good in one way or another. In any case, you need to try different types in order to understand and adapt to this kind of delicious modeling.

Recipe for sugar mastic for sculpting figures at home

We take a suitable container (a wide bowl will be enough), sift the powdered sugar there, and then add the dry milk mixture. Mix and add condensed milk. Now you need to knead the mastic like dough. When kneading, lemon juice, cognac, dyes are added. The result should be an elastic mass with which it is pleasant to work and sculpt.

If you do not add dyes, then the mass should be matte.

Children's figurines from mastic for a cake with their own hands step by step: instructions for beginners

Mastic is good because you can make a wide variety of figures and decorations for goodies from it. This is especially useful if you need to decorate a cake or pastries for a children's holiday.

We sculpt a toddler from mastic step by step

To make such a cute peanut, you need flesh-colored mastic. To do this, when preparing the mass for modeling, you need to add a body dye.

Step 1. We make the torso. We fashion a small oval the size of a small chicken egg. We take a toothpick and make a hole just below the center (this will be the navel).

Step 2. We sculpt the head. We take a piece of mastic somewhere 20-25% less than on the body and roll it into a ball. Insert a toothpick into the top of the body. It will serve as a fastening element of the torso and head.

In the head with a toothpick, you need to make a couple of holes under the eyes. We sculpt the nose from a small piece of mastic: it should be a slightly flattened round circle with a diameter of about 4-5 mm.

We hold the mouth with a toothpick, while not forgetting to make stronger recesses for the dimples.

For the ears, take two small balls. We roll them up and with the help of a stack we make dents in the center. Glue them to the head.

Step 3. We fasten the parts: we put the head on the base (toothpick).

Step 4. Making handles. We take a couple of pieces, a quarter in size less than the head. Roll them into sausages. With the help of a toothpick at one end we make fingers.

Step 5 Attach the handles to the body. If the parts do not stick together well, brush over the mating areas with a brush dipped in water.

You can diversify the baby with a toy or other items you like.

Little mouse as a decoration

First of all, we prepare mastic of different colors. You will need yellow, light green, white and pink. For the eye and mouth, you will need black edible beads (powder). In the absence of black, you can replace it with dark blue.

From the tools you need to prepare toothpicks, a stack, a mold for the base (a glass or a glass will do), a sharp knife or cutter.

Step 1. We make a base out of light green mastic. We roll it out to a thickness of 3 mm. We use either a special form, or a glass (glass).

Step 2: a gift. We take the yellow base. We first make a ball, and then gradually move on to a cubic shape.

Pink mastic needs to be rolled out quite thinly: 1-2 mm thick. We take a knife or cutter, cut it into thin strips that will serve as gift ribbons. You also need to make a small bow out of them.

From the remnants of the rolled pink mastic, you need to make small peas (we use a special form). Their diameter should be approximately 1-1.5 mm. With the help of a stack or a toothpick, they are attached to a gift.

Step 3: mouse. White mastic is used to create the mouse body.

First we make a little body: we roll up the ball, then we try to give it a longer elongated shape. Next, we make paws, they are also a little teardrop-shaped. Using a toothpick, mark the stripes that separate the fingers.

We stick toothpicks into each part. We use halves for the paws, since they are small. We fasten the body with the paws so that one serves as the base, and the second is in the air.

For the head we roll up the ball, then we transform it: just below the middle we make a notch. We make a recess for the mouth and eye. We insert black beads there. We make a nose out of pink mastic.

We take a couple of small pieces, roll them into balls, after which we make indentations with the help of a stack - these are future ears. They need to be flattened well and cut off the bottom. We attach them to the head.

Now we put the head on the toothpick fixing the body.

The upper paws are made in much the same way as the lower ones, only they should be slightly smaller. We make the tail from a thin sausage, which should become thinner towards one edge.

Step 4: flower. We make the stem for the future flower from light green mastic. We roll it into a thin strip 3-4 cm long above the mouse. From a piece of pink base we make a flower. It can be cut in a special shape. With the help of a stack, we make indentations on the petals. Then we cut out another flower, but smaller and make indentations in it. We make the middle from a yellow piece the size of a pea, rolled into a ball. We fasten everything together. From the green mastic, add a small leaf, which we add to the stem.

lion cub

You will need 4 colors of mastic: yellow, white, brown and black, as well as tools.

Step 1: Sculpt the body and head. The head should be in the form of a ball, the body - in the form of a drop. From white mastic we cut out inserts on the body of a teardrop shape.

On the head for the mouth, add a little bit of white mastic using the bent tip of a sharp stack.

We make eyes and fashion roundels near the mouth.

Step 2. We make paws from yellow and white mastic: we sculpt the main part from yellow, and the part with fingers from white. Don't forget to draw lines to separate the fingers.

In the recesses for the eyes, first add white round parts, then, a little less, black. We make a triangular nose from a brown mass.

Then we sculpt the ears in the form of flattened circles, as well as the tail (sausage, thinning towards one end). At the tip, we also make a triangular brush from a brown mass.

Step 3. We make a mane from a brown mass. It is made in the form of separate petals, which are then attached around the head.

If there is a white and black mass left, you can mix them and make pebbles on which the lion will sit. Grass can be made from green.

We sculpt a panda step by step

Required:

• Mastic white and black;
• Modeling tools;
• A couple of toothpicks.

Step 1. We take a white mass and roll it into a ball. We make indentations for the eyes on it. We sculpt small balls from the black mass, insert them into the recesses and expand them with a stack. Black color should be over the entire area of ​​​​the recesses.

Add a ball of white mass (nose).

Finishing the nose: add a black piece, in which we make a couple of holes with a toothpick or a stack with a sharp tip.

Step 2. From small pieces of black and white mass we make eyes, as well as ears.

The body consists of two parts: a round white and an elongated shape - black. Fasten them with a toothpick.

Step 3. We make paws from black mastic. They should be teardrop shaped. Now on each foot you need to make pads from white mastic.

We sculpt an airplane

You need mastic in two colors: white and blue, as well as a toothpick or a stack for modeling with a sharp tip.

Step 1. We fashion the white trapezoidal body of the aircraft. We add to it the front glass from the blue mass.

Step 2. Sculpt wings. We take a couple of balls, roll them out a little or knead them with our hands. We make triangular wings. We make the tail a little thinner and trapezoidal in shape.

Step 3. Add stripes to the wings, tail, the main part of the blue mastic.

Step 4. We make eyes from white and black mass. We draw a mouth with a toothpick or a stack.

Sometimes, even following step-by-step detailed instructions, not everything and not always turns out. Each craftswoman has a couple of secrets that help in the modeling process:

1. Sometimes it's hard enough to cover the entire cake with mastic neatly. On the side parts, folds appear here and there, which spoil the whole look. In this case, the mastic should be rolled out in such a way that a sufficiently large margin is maintained. Next, we put it on the cake and, under its own weight, it should lie down as it should;
2. It's hard to find black dye. In this case, you can get out of the situation as follows: take three dyes (blue, yellow and red) and mix them in a ratio of 2:1:1. There is also the option of adding blue to brown paint;
3. In order for the mastic coating to shine, it must be lubricated with a solution of vodka and honey. To prepare it, you need to mix both ingredients in equal amounts. Lubricate the surface with the resulting liquid using a soft brush.

Fantasize and, perhaps, you will create your own individual figures from mastic, not like anyone else. Good luck!

With the help of mastic, even the most ordinary cake can be turned into the main dish of the celebration. Thanks to sugar paste, the dessert turns out to be stylish, refined, bright. Complex decor elements cannot be done right away, but simple figurines of fairy-tale characters and flowers can be made even with children. The master class “Mastic Figures for Beginners” consists of many tips and lessons that will definitely help you learn how to make delicious decorations.

In the beginning, you need to make a clearing out of green mastic. Cut out the edges with a spoon.

Note! If you want to make a clearing on a regular plate, you should cover it with cling film.

Then proceed to create the rabbit. Take two pieces of white mastic and make two small ovals: large and slightly smaller. The oval, which is larger, will be the carcass, and the smaller one will be the head. Glue these ovals.

Make ears from mastic of the same shade. First, roll sausages of the same size. Push them with scissors and make ears.

With the edge of the knife, make a muzzle in the same way as the ears. It is necessary to moisten the knife with water so that it does not stick to the material.

On the resulting muzzle, push the eyes with the back of the knife. For the pupils, use food "beads", for the nose - a heart made of mastic. It's time for the paws and tail. Roll four ovals and make cuts in the paws. Make a small circle for the tail.

The hare figurine is ready, now you can decorate the cake with it! It should be remembered that the figurines are stored for a maximum of 2-3 months in a cool and closed place.

man and rose

This MK will help you figure out how to make figures of people.

To make a little man, you first need to knead the dough for mastic with the addition of flesh-colored dye. Blind an oval the size of a small chicken egg. Make a hole with a toothpick at the bottom for the navel. Roll up a ball for the head and attach it with a toothpick to the body.

Then draw the face. Make holes for the eyes, draw a mouth. Instead of a spout, attach a small rolled ball. From two flattened balls make ears.

It's time to start pens. Roll out sausages, bend the parts that will be palms and draw fingers. Attach the handles to the body. The peanut is ready!

You can make a toy, a duck or a ball for a toddler. You can also easily mold a girl by adding pigtails and a bow. Mk for the manufacture of figurines from mastic is finished!

To get a beautiful rose, you must perform the following steps:

1. Roll out small balls from red or pink mastic and lay them out on the board;
2. Flatten them to cakes and give the shape of petals. The top edge should be thin and wavy.
3. For the core of the flower, blind a small droplet. Attach petals to the drop, from the smallest to the largest, for a more realistic look. Having blinded the required number of flowers, let dry at least a day.

Mastic is a sweet plastic substance, from which cooks and confectioners make various decorations for desserts. Complex multi-tiered elements cannot be created immediately, however, even a child can make simple figurines to decorate sweets on the festive table. It is not only easy and fun, but also very tasty. From mastic, you can mold decorations for a wedding cake, heroes of your favorite children's cartoons, lay out simple applications. Below you will find a master class for creating small figures from fondant, which is also suitable for beginners.

Cooks have developed a variety of mastic recipes that are suitable for certain occasions. For example, to create a figurine with an abundance of small details, gelatin-based mastic is well suited. Honey mastic is very soft, does not crumble and does not fall apart. The most common - dairy - is used to fill confectionery, like marzipan. There is also industrial mastic. It is sold in the store and all that a novice cook needs is to start sculpting.

Learning to make figurines from mastic: a master class for beginners

The recipe for making sweet plasticine mass is as follows:

• Powdered milk - 150 g.
• Powdered sugar - 150 g.
• Condensed milk - 200 g.
• Lemon juice - 2 tbsp. l.
• Cognac or flavoring - 1 tsp.

Cooking mastic:

1. Mix powdered sugar and milk powder.
2. Pour into the resulting mixture of condensed milk.
3. Knead the dough by adding lemon juice and flavoring to it.

If desired, you can make colored mastic if you add dye during the kneading process.

Consider how the modeling of figures from mastic takes place step by step. We will give MK for the manufacture of a peanut from a sweet mass.

1. Prepare the mastic according to the recipe described above. To make the peanut more natural, when kneading the dough, you need to add a flesh-colored dye.
2. Let's start with the body. Blind an oval the size of a small chicken egg. With a toothpick, make a hole - the navel at the bottom of the oval.
3. Blind the head by rolling the ball. It can be attached to the body with a toothpick stuck in the body.
4. Let's draw a face. Make eyes with a toothpick, draw a mouth, and instead of a nose, attach a small round ball crushed into a cake.
5. From two small balls make ears, flatten them, giving them the shape of cakes.
6. Now it's the turn of the pens. Roll out the sausages, bend the parts that will be the palms and draw the fingers with a toothpick.
7. Attach the arms to the body. If they do not stick well, then lightly soak the mastic with water at the place of gluing.
8. The peanut is ready. If you wish, you can make legs for him in the same way as the arms (roll up two sausages and separate the fingers with a toothpick).

You can make a toy for the little one with which he will play on your cake or cake. If a child wants to make a girl, it's easy. Weave three thin sausages from mastic, braid them into pigtails and decorate with a mastic bow. Attach the pigtails to the baby's head.

After learning how to make human figures, you can experiment with shapes, colors, and clothing.

We are trying to make a bright and tasty flower from mastic with our own hands

Sweets for adults can be decorated with mastic flowers. If you do not have a suitable dye, use the color mixing scheme.

Let's make a simple rose:

1. Roll out small balls of mastic of the desired color and place them on a cutting board;
2. Flatten the balls to cakes and give them the shape of rose petals, paying special attention to the top edge so that it is thin and wavy;
3. Blind a small drop - this will be the core of the flower;
4. Start attaching the petals to the droplet from smallest to largest, carefully bending the top edges to look more realistic;
5. Having blinded the required number of flowers, they must be allowed to dry for at least a day.

Having molded several figurines from mastic and placing them on the cake, do not forget to decorate with decorative elements: tubes, curls, pigtails. Here are some helpful tips.

• To make the coupling of parts with the cake strong, lubricate the places of the parts with water;
• To make colored elements, it is not necessary to add dye to the dough. You can paint the elements of the finished figure;
• For the test, take well-ground powdered sugar so that the mastic does not tear;
• Instead of food coloring, you can use fruit juices;
• Mastic is stored in the refrigerator for no longer than 2 weeks, in the freezer - 2 months.
