Salt dough refrigerator magnet. Modeling from salt dough - “Salt dough - toys, magnets, souvenirs for the New Year! My salt dough crafts! Fast, cheap, original, eco-friendly and do-it-yourself! Lots of photos and helpful tips!

Each of us on the eve of the New Year begins to stock up on gifts for loved ones! And today I want to offer to make small presents for your dear people with your own hands - this christmas magnets"Winter hut". We will make them from salt dough (you can replace it with self-hardening clay). I chose salt dough, because the ingredients for it are available to everyone, and you can sculpt such products with children!

For work we need:

• salt dough (the recipe I use will be below);
• stack, clerical knife;
• toothpicks, needles;
• board for plasticine or ceramic tiles (where we will roll out the dough);
• acrylic paints (if metallic colors are available);
• gouache (black and ocher);
• brushes;
• felt;
• magnet;
• lacquer (I used colorless lacquer ХВ-584);
• rhinestones (I have a diameter of 3 and 5 mm);
• glue (Moment, PVA);
• optional white glitter;
• sponge.

Salt dough recipe (I have made it many times already):

1. 150 g water + 1 tbsp. l. mix simple wallpaper glue, let the glue dissolve well;
2. 200 g flour + 200 g fine salt + 2 tbsp. l. (with top) potato starch mix separately;
3. combine everything + 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

For several magnets, the amount of ingredients for salty can be divided in half.

It is better to prepare the dough in advance (I make it in the evening and put it in the refrigerator at night, wrapped in 2 bags).

Important! When working with salt dough, always keep the bag closed, the dough dries quickly!

We will have two options for magnet huts!

Magnet "Winter hut" with two Christmas trees

1. Roll out the dough, cut out the blank for the huts according to the template (the edges can be trimmed with a brush with water). Let's outline where the logs, the roof, the snow will be. We make a sausage from 4 mm dough, cut it into approximately equal parts, grease the workpiece with water and begin to impose our logs, flattening them a little.

2. Until our logs are dry, we pass through them with a needle, we get an imitation of a tree. We make two more sausages, flattening a little. With the help of a needle or a toothpick, we make roundings from one edge and transfer our workpieces to the hut, having previously lubricated the places with water, then we make indentations on the rounded workpieces (I did it with dots, but you can also use a regular toothpick). We make a pipe above the roof, we pass through the dough with a needle, imitating bricks. Next, we roll the ball, flatten it, cut it in half, we need only one part (it will be a window above the roof), attach it to the hut, make indentations, we get a window.

3. We make a thin sausage, lubricate it around the window with water, wrap it with sausage - it turns out to be cashing the window, flatten it a little.

4. In the middle of the hut there will be a main window made of a rectangular piece of dough, we make recesses in it. We roll the sausage, divide it into four parts according to the size of the window - these will be the platbands. We flatten the blanks and transfer them to the hut, not forgetting to lubricate the gluing places with water.

5. Now you can sculpt a Christmas tree. Cut out three trapezoidal blanks different size, we round each blank, cut the lower edge into three parts and round it with a toothpick (twigs are obtained). At the beginning we lay down the most large workpiece and on the rise. We pass along the edges of the branches with a needle.

6. We will get two Christmas trees, high on one side, smaller on the other. We make a little indentation in the Christmas tree bigger size than the rhinestones themselves, because when dried, the salty dough becomes smaller. We make snow on the roof, in front of the hut, on the windows.

Magnet "Winter hut" with a snowman and a Christmas tree

Getting Started next option magnet. The first stages of modeling are the same as for the first hut.

1. In a slightly different way, we will make platbands at the roof, small roundings on the edge and recesses in them with a toothpick. We roll the ball, make an oval, cut it off a little at the bottom, we get a semicircular blank for the window. We attach in the middle of the hut and the affairs of the deepening.

2. We take a strip of dough, apply it over the window and flatten the edges a little with a knife or a stack.

3. We do the same at the bottom of the window. Next, we make shutters: cut out two rectangles, cut them at an angle and attach them to the hut.

4. We make a snowman. We roll three balls of different sizes, flatten each ball and start attaching it to the hut from the largest one, roll four balls, these will be our arms and legs of a snowman 🙂 We make a hat from a triangle of dough, a scarf from two stripes. Nose - carrot-triangle dough. The Christmas tree is molded in the same way as in the first hut.

Our blanks for magnets are ready, let them dry well (I leave them on the battery for 2 days). At first, they are dried on foil, and when they dry, I transfer them to cardboard, because. the foil does not allow air to pass through, and the workpiece does not dry out.

Our huts have already dried up, now we cover them with black gouache (you can also brown). When the gouache has dried, we begin to carefully wash it off, so the product is embossed. The blanks dried out from the water. Let's start painting. We take brown acrylic paint and with a thin brush we pass along the logs of the hut. Next, we cover the platbands: at the first hut we cover the platbands with gouache (ocher), at the second - with acrylic of blue color, and the snowman's outfit is also blue.

When the paint has dried, we paint the frames at the windows with white acrylic, and at one hut we tint the trim with white.

Then we mix green color and a little brown, we cover the Christmas trees with it

We need to make "frozen" windows. We drip blue and white paint directly into the window, mix quickly with a needle, add a little more white around the edges. We cover the platbands painted with ocher with an additional paint of a different color (I have acrylic metallic bronze, if it is not available, you can mix brown acrylic paint and yellow flowers- get beige platbands). We paint the snowman with white paint. Next, we take a sponge and begin to tampon with white paint, where we will have snow (I also walked over the logs with a brush). We make eyes and a mouth for a snowman. We tint the snowman on the hat and scarf with silver paint.

First we varnish one side of the magnet, when it dries, we cover the other side (the varnish that I use gives a little yellowness on white, after the varnish has dried, the snow is again covered with white paint). We take the felt, circle it, cut it out, this will be the back side of the hut.

The hero of the self-made magnet is a salt dough pig, the symbol of the year 2019, a wonderful New Year's gift.

A master class on making a simple pig is suitable for beginners, children and joint creativity. The modeling technique is simple, the cost of materials is a penny, and the result is admirable. A cheerful piggy can be presented to friends, colleagues, teachers, classmates and everyone who wishes happiness and success. Plasticine or polymer clay is suitable as a material, choose the one that suits you best.

Materials and tools

If you have never sculpted from dough made from flour and salt, get acquainted with this type of needlework. This will help you understand the nuances of kneading and drying and avoid mistakes.

To make a salt dough pig according to the proposed master class, you will need the following set:

• flour - 50 g;
• salt - 50 g;
• water;
• gouache (pink, white, yellow A);
• twine - 10 cm;
• black gel pen (or thin black marker);
• thin brush;
• tools for working with mastic (or alternative spatulas and knives made of metal or plastic);
• soft magnet;
• hot glue gun.

For those who prefer to sculpt from plasticine, we have plasticine.

The technique of modeling and decorating a pig

First of all, you need to prepare the mass for modeling. Dissolve salt in 30-40 ml of water, add flour and knead soft, elastic dough. It should not stick to hands and contain large granules of salt.

Take a small ball and form a flattened round blank with a diameter of about 5 cm. The disk should not be too thick, otherwise the dough will dry out for a long time.

Form a small disc for the patch. Fasten the patch on the main workpiece.

Make two holes (nostrils).

Roll up miniature balls and attach just above the piglet's snout.

Squeeze out a shallow mouth opening with a spatula.

Blind a small rectangle of salt dough for the New Year's sign. Attach it just below the patch.

Form thin blanks for handles. Attach them as if a salt dough pig is holding a sign symbolizing New Year.

Form small ovals for the legs. Squeeze out the cuts with a spatula, round them with your hands. Punch holes.

Blind two thin details in the form of drops. Attach the ears to the piglet's head, wrapping the sharp corners forward. Use a spatula to trim any rounded edges so that they are smooth and neat after drying. Send the salt dough craft to dry in the oven at 120 degrees for 7-10 minutes.

To color the pig, mix pink gouache with a small amount yellow and white paint. Color in bright color patch and the edges of the legs.

Mix lighter pink shade, cover the entire surface of the pig and legs (except for the eyes and the plate). Paint the remaining elements white. Squeeze out thin white strokes on the pink surface.

Draw the pig's eyebrows, pupils, nostrils, mouth and the inscription 2019 with a black gel pen (or a thin felt-tip pen). If you have another reason for congratulations, then make an appropriate inscription or draw something neutral. Instead of a plate, you can make a box of chocolates or a flower. For a housewarming party, a key or a house is suitable.

Cut out a circle from a soft sheet of magnet with a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the souvenir.

Glue the pieces of twine to the legs. To do this, thread them into the holes and drip glue on the sole. If the rope is thick, you can separate the weaves to make thin legs.

Glue the legs to the body and close the back with a round magnet using a glue gun.

If you don't want to make a fridge magnet, turn a salt dough pig into a car pendant or other souvenir. Sizes are easy to change depending on personal preferences.

If you need more pigs for gifts, check out our modeling tutorials and. Tired of sculpting? Then sew or. Create for yourself and friends!

SALT DOUGH RECIPES FOR DIFFERENT CRAFTS + MK for cats magnets.

SALT DOUGH RECIPES FOR DIFFERENT CRAFTS + MK for cats magnets.

Recipe number 1 - for simple crafts.

200 g = (1 cup) flour
200 g = (0.5 cup) salt (fine, NOT rock).
125 ml water

Please note that salt is heavier than flour, so they are the same in weight, and salt in volume
takes about twice as much.
Salt dough - recipes and modeling methods

For thin relief figures, add to your choice:
15-20 g (tablespoon) of PVA glue or
starch (tablespoon)
wallpaper glue (previously stir it with a small amount of water)

Recipe number 2 - Strong dough for large products:
200 g flour
400 g salt
125 ml water

Recipe number 3 - Dough for fine work:
300 g flour
200 g salt
4 tbsp glycerin (available at the pharmacy)
2 tbsp glue for simple wallpaper 125-150 ml of water pre-mix.

For kneading, it is better to use a mixer - this will simplify the task, and the dough will turn out better.
Universal Recipe salt dough: 2 cups of flour; can be in flour, without leaving the norm of two
cups, add dry starch. For example, 1.5 cups flour 1/2 tbsp. starch. With added starch
the dough will become more elastic. Fine details are particularly well obtained from such a test, for example,
flower petals.), 1 glass of salt, 1 incomplete glass of water, about 180 g, you can add 2 tablespoons. spoons
PVA glue. Instead of water, you can cook a starch paste.
Mix all ingredients. Knead the dough until the mass becomes homogeneous and elastic,
if the dough turns out to be watery, then you can knead it further, adding a little flour until
until it becomes elastic.

Water can be replaced with starch jelly, then the mass will be much more plastic.
Kissel is done like this:
Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water. Also, heat 1 cup of water
small saucepan to a boil. Pour the starch solution into the boiling water, stirring. When the content
pan thickens and becomes transparent, turn off the heat. Let the jelly cool and pour it into the flour mixture
with salt instead of water.

METHODS FOR COLORING SALT DOUGH

Can you color salt dough? food coloring, watercolor or gouache. You can color and
when preparing the dough, introducing the dye during kneading, and already actually ready product- on the surface.
Great chocolate color obtained by adding cocoa. You can experiment with other
natural dyes - soot, beet juice, carrots, ocher, etc. Can be made from salt dough
brown in the oven for a natural color.
When tinting, keep in mind that after drying, the color will become less saturated, but if you cover
crafts with varnish - it will become brighter again. What varnish can be used? Acrylic and artistic is
Very good. It is possible to apply the usual building on water based for breathable surfaces
those. for parquet or wood.

FEATURES AND METHODS FOR PREPARING SALT DOUGH:

There are a few things you can't do with salt dough. So, for example, you can not add to salty
pancake flour dough (or flour with any other additives), since the figures will rise as they dry
good dough for pies and crack.
Also, you can not add iodized salt, large inclusions do not dissolve, subsequently the dough does not
homogeneous - in a grain. Similarly, you cannot add rock salt without prior dissolution.
About water. So, in the test it is best to use very cold water; be sure to add parts
knead 50 ml after each addition (due to the fact that for different flour, may be needed
different amounts of water).

Salt is first mixed with flour, and only then water is poured into the finished mass.
Salty dough stored in plastic bag or a tightly sealed container. Salt dough from
it is better to take out a plastic bag in small pieces, since lumps of dough quickly enough
covered with a crust and when rolling or sculpting, these dry crusts spoil the look.
And one more thing, if the figures are thick (more than 7 mm), then after the first stage, you need to reverse
take out the excess dough from the sides (the drawing is in Khananova’s book, on the page - in books)

The dough may be too soft. Then proceed as follows: mix at the bottom of the bowl
a tablespoon of flour with a tablespoon of salt. Press the ball of dough into this mixture and then knead it.
Do this until the dough becomes more dense.
You can sculpt or cut out figures immediately on a baking sheet. The baking sheet must first be moistened
water, in this case no bubbles form between the product and the surface of the baking sheet, therefore,
the surface of the product will be smooth and stable.
Everything that falls off is just wonderful and, most importantly, it is not noticeably glued with PVA glue.
Swelling or crackling of salt dough crafts occurs in three cases:
If the flour is incorrectly selected. For greater strength, you can add to the dough rye flour(color will be
warmer and crackling should not be) (for example, a glass of ordinary glass of rye, 1 to 1),
50 gr. starch - also give the dough elasticity and prevent cracking. You can also add PVA glue,
because it also gives plasticity and does not allow the dough to rise.
If drying is not done correctly (see next section)
If crackling occurs after painting, this means that the product is not completely dry (product
continues to dry and the air needs to go somewhere) so the surface of the paint or varnish cracks.
Do not rush to paint or varnish the product, so that later you do not regret and do not redo it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: HOW TO DRY SALT DOUGH?

Air dry best vivo, but it is long (complete drying may take
a week or more - especially if the humidity during drying is high - since salt draws moisture),
therefore, you can dry it in the oven, following a few rules.
The oven must be at the lowest temperature
It's good if drying comes with open lid ovens
Items must not be placed in hot oven immediately, heating should occur gradually. As well as
take the product out of the oven, it is better if it cools down gradually instead of with the oven
It is ideal to dry in several stages: an hour dried up on one side, turned the craft over,
dries upside down. I still take breaks between drying, an hour dries in the oven - a day dries itself -
then again for an hour and a half in the oven on the reverse side.
The drying time of a salt dough product depends on the thickness of the product itself. And also from the applied
manufacturing recipe. So, dough containing butter, cream, etc. dries a lot longer than the test without
oil additives.
To avoid cracking of the product, drying can be done in three to four stages, in the oven for
the very minimum and always with the lid open for about an hour and a half, then an hour break
for two - for three, or for the whole night, the craft dries itself, and then turn on the oven again to a minimum
with open lid.
With natural and oven drying, the craft must be rotated at each stage of drying, i.e.
hour dries with the front side, rests, turned over at the next stage and dries already reverse side.

THUS, WE HAVE LIGHTED THE BASIC RECIPES AND METHODS FOR MOLDING SALT DOUGH.

I suggest everyone to try to make such cats-magnets. They are made very simply. First applied
a sketch of the kittens themselves on foil, blinded, dried (about 5-6 days). Then I painted with watercolors and gouache.
Opened with varnish. I glued cardboard on the back, and then magnets on it.

All pleasant viewing and good mood!!!

Each of us on the eve of the New Year begins to stock up on gifts for loved ones! And today I want to offer to make small presents for your dear people with your own hands - these are New Year's magnets "Winter Hut". We will make them from salt dough (you can replace it with self-hardening clay). I chose salty dough, because. the ingredients for it are available to everyone, and you can sculpt such products with children!

For work we need:

- salt dough (the recipe I use will be below);

- stack, clerical knife;

- toothpicks, needles;

- board for plasticine or ceramic tiles (where we will roll out the dough);

- acrylic paints (if there are metallic colors);

- gouache (black and ocher);

- brushes;

- felt;

- magnet;

- lacquer (I used colorless lacquer ХВ-584);

- rhinestones (I have a diameter of 3 and 5 mm);

- glue (Moment, PVA);

- Optional white glitter

- sponge.

Salt dough recipe (I have made it many times already):

1) 150 g of water + 1 tbsp. l. mix simple wallpaper glue, let the glue dissolve well;

2) 200 g flour + 200 g fine salt + 2 tbsp. l (with top) mix potato starch separately;

3) connect everything + 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

For several magnets, the amount of ingredients for salty can be divided in half.

It is better to prepare the dough in advance (I make it in the evening and put it in the refrigerator at night, wrapped in 2 bags).

Important! When working with salt dough, always keep the bag closed, the dough dries quickly!

We will have two options for magnet huts!

Magnet "Winter hut" with two Christmas trees

1. Roll out the dough, cut out the blank for the huts according to the template (the edges can be trimmed with a brush with water). Let's outline where the logs, the roof, the snow will be. We make a sausage from 4 mm dough, cut it into approximately equal parts, grease the workpiece with water and begin to impose our logs, flattening them a little.

2. Until our logs are dry, we pass through them with a needle, we get an imitation of a tree. We make two more sausages, flattening a little. With the help of a needle or a toothpick, we make roundings from one edge and transfer our workpieces to the hut, lubricating the places with water in advance, then we make recesses on the rounded workpieces (I did it with dots, but you can also use a regular toothpick). We make a pipe above the roof, we pass through the dough with a needle, imitating bricks. Next, we roll the ball, flatten it, cut it in half, we need only one part (it will be a window above the roof), attach it to the hut, make indentations, we get a window.
3. We make a thin sausage, lubricate the window around the window with water, wrap it with a sausage - we get a window cashing, flatten it a little.
4. In the middle of the hut there will be a main window made of a rectangular piece of dough, we make recesses in it. We roll the sausage, divide it into four parts according to the size of the window - these will be the platbands. We flatten the blanks and transfer them to the hut, not forgetting to lubricate the gluing places with water.
5. Now you can sculpt a Christmas tree. We cut out three trapezoidal blanks of different sizes, round each blank, cut the lower edge into three parts and round it with a toothpick (twigs are obtained). At the beginning, we lay down the largest workpiece and incrementally. We pass along the edges of the branches with a needle.
6. We will get two Christmas trees, high on one side, smaller on the other. We make indentations in the Christmas tree a little larger than the rhinestones themselves, because when dried, the salty dough becomes smaller. We make snow on the roof, in front of the hut, on the windows.
Magnet "Winter hut" with a snowman and a Christmas tree

We proceed to the next version of the magnet. The first stages of modeling are the same as for the first hut.

1. In a slightly different way, we will make platbands at the roof, small roundings on the edge and recesses in them with a toothpick. We roll the ball, make an oval, cut it off a little at the bottom, we get a semicircular blank for the window. We attach in the middle of the hut and cases of deepening

2. We take a strip of dough, apply it over the window and flatten the edges a little with a knife or a stack.
3. We do the same at the bottom of the window. Next, we make shutters: cut out two rectangles, cut them at an angle and attach them to the hut.

4. We make a snowman. We roll three balls of different sizes, flatten each ball and start attaching it to the hut from the largest one, roll four balls, these will be our snowman's arms and legs :) We make a hat from a triangle of dough, a scarf from two stripes. The nose is a carrot triangle made of dough. The Christmas tree is molded in the same way as in the first hut.

Our blanks for magnets are ready, let them dry well (I leave them on the battery for 2 days). At first, they are dried on foil, and when they dry, I transfer them to cardboard, because. the foil does not allow air to pass through, and the workpiece does not dry out.

Our huts have already dried up, now we cover them with black gouache (you can also brown). When the gouache has dried, we begin to carefully wash it off, so the product is embossed. The blanks dried out from the water. Let's start painting. We take brown acrylic paint and with a thin brush we pass along the logs of the hut. Next, we cover the platbands: at the first hut, we cover the platbands with gouache (ocher), at the second - with blue acrylic, and the outfit of the snowman is also blue.

When the paint has dried, we paint the frames at the windows with white acrylic, and at one hut we tint the trim with white.

Then we mix green and a little brown, we cover the Christmas trees with it.

We need to make "frozen" windows. We drip blue and white paint directly into the window, mix quickly with a needle, add a little more white around the edges. We cover the platbands painted with ocher with an additional paint of a different color (I have acrylic metallic bronze, if it is not there, you can mix brown and yellow acrylic paint - you get beige platbands). We paint the snowman with white paint. Next, we take a sponge and begin to tampon with white paint, where we will have snow (I also walked over the logs with a brush). We make eyes and a mouth for a snowman. We tint the snowman on the hat and scarf with silver paint.

First we varnish one side of the magnet, when it dries, we cover the other side (the varnish that I use gives a little yellowness on white, after the varnish has dried, the snow is again covered with white paint). We take the felt, circle it, cut it out, this will be the back side of the hut.

Where there is snow on the huts, we cover with a thin layer of PVA glue and sprinkle with glitter (you can not cover it with glitter). After the "snow" dries, glue the rhinestones on the Christmas trees (they can be glued to Moment or superglue).


Glue the felt blank and the magnet.

That's all, our two huts are ready! :)

In the same way, I made magnet huts Babok Yozhek :)




I would be glad if you liked my master class and you blind your huts on it!

Creative inspiration, comfort and warmth in your home! May all your New Year's dreams come true!

Many kids love cartoons. Almost all children want toys in the form of cartoon characters. But what if you can’t buy a toy in a store? Then you need to make it yourself! The original magnet in the form of a character from the cartoon "Smeshariki" will delight not only a child, but also an adult! To make it you will need:
Salty dough
Acrylic paints
2 brushes (fine and medium)
Acrylic gloss varnish
Magnet
jar of water
baking paper
glue moment
1. From salt dough (it is best to start immediately on baking paper) make a circle and flatten it a little.

2. From two pieces of dough we roll "sausages" and make ears out of them. We bend one ear a little. Glue the ears to the body.

3. We roll out 2 more “sausages”, which should be half the size of the previous ones.

4. From the "sausages" we make handles and stick them to the base.

5. Make two balls from small pieces of dough and flatten them slightly. These will be the legs of the hero from Smeshariki.

6. We attach the legs to the body.

7. Roll out three more balls. From them we make the eyes and nose of Krosh.

8. Dip the brush into the water and smooth out all the joints.

9. After we have blinded the base of the magnet, it is necessary to wait until it dries. To do this, dry the figurine in the oven for three hours (at a temperature of 70-100 degrees).

10. When the figurine dries, you need to paint it with acrylic paints. First, paint the flat side on which the magnet itself will be attached. Next, paint the front side with blue acrylic paint.

11. We paint the eyes with white acrylic, and pink- nose.

12. Draw teeth with white paint. You need to use a thin brush. With blue paint we draw the eyebrows and the line of the mouth. With the help of black paint we finish the eyes of Smesharik.

13. acrylic paint dries quickly, so after half an hour you can stick the magnet on the glue moment.
