Salt dough coloring process

Modeling from salt dough, of course, is an amusing business. With your own hands it is so nice to make something cool and unusual in the form of cool figurines for the Christmas tree, fridge magnets, figurines for beauty and harmony in your home, and so on. However, the further process of coloring them is not convenient for everyone and, let’s say, is subject to, because, if we take into account small children, they do not have the ability to delicately paint over all the details in their crafts, so they need a simpler option with already bright and colorful finished material. And making salty dough motley is quite simple at home. You can try to decorate it yourself in all the colors of the rainbow, be sure you will even like it.

But it is only necessary to remember that the dye you have chosen must necessarily have a liquid or pasty consistency. If you got the coloring element in the form of tablets or powder, then it is advisable to dilute it with a small amount of water. You only need such a substance - then a few drops squeezed onto salty dough for a delicate, faint shade, and if you want to achieve a more saturated color, then, of course, more. After that, you should properly knead your "building" material, adding flour if necessary, and proceed to the direct process of creativity. But some craftsmen, after drying decorative items, still resort to re-saturation of their crafts with acrylic, watercolor, oil paints. Such a final touch will give an alluring and perfect gloss to any figure.

Modeling is one of the most useful activities for kids. With its help, not only fine motor skills of the hands develop, but also perseverance, imaginative thinking and coordination of movements are developed.

One of the best materials for modeling with a child is salt dough. It is absolutely safe, does not contain harmful additives and is easy to use. DIY salt dough crafts will be wonderful souvenirs for your relatives and friends.

Universal Recipes

Salt dough recipes are plentiful. Each master makes his own additives in them, choosing the right consistency. The main products for kneading dough are salt, flour and water.

Depending on the purpose, its density may be different:

• dense dough - for large parts and creating massive panels;
• universal dough of medium consistency - it is convenient to make small pictures and figures from it;
• soft dough - gentle and pliable, it is suitable for small elements, exquisite flowers and figurines.

Some needlewomen measure ingredients in grams, others prefer to use proportions in parts.

dense dough

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. food salt - 1 part;
3. water - 0.7 parts.

That is, to knead this type of dough, you need to take one identical measure (glass, cup, tablespoon) of salt and flour and 0.7 of the same measure of water.

In a deep bowl, combine the dry ingredients and gradually add cold water. The dough should be homogeneous and very dense. There will be grains of salt in it - this is normal, do not worry. Depending on the moisture and quality of the flour and salt, a little more or less water may be needed. Therefore, you can not pour it into the dough all at once.

Medium consistency dough (universal)

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. water - 1 part;
3. food salt - ½ part;
4. finely ground salt (extra) - ½ part.

By replacing half of the coarse salt with fine salt, this type of dough is more plastic and pliable. From such an obedient mass it is convenient to sculpt even a child. But for the smallest details and realistic crafts, such a dough is also not suitable.

soft dough

For work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. hot water - 1/4 part;
3. finely ground salt (extra) - 1 part;
4. PVA glue - ¾ parts.

Combine salt with flour, then add thick PVA glue and mix. Slowly adding hot water, knead a soft dough. It must be wrapped in cling film, allowed to rest and cool.

This dough is ideal for complex work. It perfectly holds its shape, retaining prints and the texture created on it. Its quality directly depends on the quality of the selected adhesive.

Figures molded from salt dough with glue are different special strength. They will please their owner for more than one year.

1. If you plan to color finished products, it is better to use wheat flour, although rye flour can also be used for salt dough.
2. You can not take iodized salt - finished figures may crack when dried.
3. The dough can be tinted during kneading. For this, food coloring or watercolor is used.
4. The finished dough must be wrapped in cling film or a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
5. A failed dough can be reanimated. You need to add a little more flour to the watery one and knead again, moisten the too tight dough with water and knead, achieving the desired consistency.
6. Do not add grease or hand cream to the dough to be dyed, as the paint will not adhere evenly.
7. The finished dough should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. It loses its qualities and it will be inconvenient to work with it.
8. Volumetric products are best sculpted on wire or cardboard frames so that they do not fall apart.
9. Crafts can be dried naturally by leaving them for a couple of days, baked in a warm oven, or left next to the radiator. It is categorically not recommended to put figurines on the battery itself to avoid cracking them.
10. It is best to paint crafts with acrylic paint or gouache. Watercolor should not be used: there is a risk of soaking and spoiling the product.
11. The junction of the parts must be moistened with water using a brush. So they are firmly and quickly connected.
12. The finished souvenir can be covered with colorless nail polish or acrylic varnish. This will protect it from moisture and the paint from fading.

Armed with new knowledge, try to put it into practice.
