Friends, are you ready for the new year? And the holiday is just around the corner. And this is an occasion to work fruitfully with your little ones. What do I suggest? Today we will talk about how and what to make New Year's crafts from salt dough. A prerequisite is that we will create with our kids. We use them in as many processes as possible. In fact, the material is safe and it is easy to wash, and therefore we will allow the crumbs to dirty the hands to the fullest.

Do you know what will add value to these activities? The fact that the child will feel that all this is a very important thing! He will try when he finds out that his crafts will decorate the Christmas tree: as toys (we will hang some of them on the tree) or become part of the festive composition.

Let's decide. Remember? We have a main focus - New Year's theme. There is a basic material - salt dough. And in the kitchen, any housewife has the necessary tools. And our children have a good helper - we! All that was left was to get down to business.

Ingredients and Tools We'll Need

All we need is:

• Salt;
• Flour;
• Water;
• A little vegetable oil.

Of course, I want the figures to be bright. Therefore, we use any dyes to choose from:

• Food colors;
• Building eco-friendly;
• felt-tip pens;
• Gouache;
• Nail polish (if you need to use very little).

And in order to make dough with your own hands, and then products from dough, you need tools. Prepare in advance:

• bowl;
• rolling pin;
• Cup;
• Scissors;
• Pen/felt pen.

We will need additional tools. We will talk about this in the next topic, when we consider different ideas for creativity.

Variety of decorating ideas

And a sea of ​​ideas! And also flawless! But do not forget, it is worth considering 2 points:

• Abilities and opportunities crumbs;
• Crafts should relate to the theme of the New Year 2018. So, if not the symbol of the year itself, the Dog, we should succeed, then at least try to make golden colors dominate in our products.

And a lot will depend on what tools we have at hand. In principle, absolutely anything can be a tool! And already on what we own, the decorations of the works, and even their shape, will depend.

Now I intend to call what you can use as a handy tool in the manufacture of crafts, and how the work will depend on it.

Lace. They will give delicacy to the work. One has only to attach them to the dough and hold with a rolling pin.

Buttons. For children, it will be simple and interesting to press buttons into finished products to make an unusual texture.

Beads. They can simply sprinkle the finished work, and everything will immediately shine.

cocktail straw- this is an excellent "hole maker", which turns ordinary crafts into lace ones.

Marker. They can draw any patterns.

Arms, legs, paws. Attach the handle of your little one and make a palm print, the same can be done with the leg if you have a baby - a baby. If your dog does not mind, then the prints of its paws will also look symbolic.

Master Class

And now I will share what I and my crumbs did. And at the same time I will conduct a small master class.

Let's start with our video. In it, we show how to knead the dough, how to sculpt a big owl on the Christmas tree, how to decorate the window in the form of a Christmas tree with dough toys.

And now, as the photo lesson promised: how to make a slightly different owl, hedgehog and snowman.

Do you remember the recipe:

• Flour - 1 tbsp.;
• Salt - 1 tbsp.;
• Water.

Salt is better to take fine. It is cleaner, and it mixes better with flour and water. But I specifically took a large one, because I intend to basically bake all the products. And when baked, coarse salt gives an unusual golden color. As for the water. I didn't say how much you need. It took me half a cup. But it is better to focus on how much the dough will “take”, so that it is not liquid.

I will try to attach a photo for each step.

So the ingredients are:

The dough is tough but very flexible. I divide it into 3 parts.

Of the two, I intend to make figures of a Snowman and a Hedgehog. And I’ll divide the third part in half, and the baby and I roll out the mass and twist two circles with a glass.

I am eager to try how flat owls are made.

And the second part is a Christmas tree toy.

Now I will talk about each craft separately.

Snowman

1. I am making the basis for the snowman. I cut out a circle and decorate it by squeezing out a relief with the tip of a knife.

I divide the remaining mass into 3 parts so that one is large, the second is medium, the third is small.

I twist the largest piece in my palms into a ball. I make a small hole in the middle.

I do the same with the second one. So the whole structure will stand firmly without much fastening.

I stick a thin branch into the middle ball. These are the hands of the Snowman. I put a walnut shell on top. It turns out such a hat.

I make a nose from the tip of a toothpick.

How to paint a snowman I won't put it in the oven. Just wait for the dough to stick to the top with a crust. I have matching nail gels. I use them for painting.

The details remained: mouth, eyes, snowflakes according to the Snowman.

And here's what I got.

Owl

I squeeze the lower half of the circle with a cap from the pen. It turns out a pattern under the feathers.

I fold the edges on the sides so that they touch each other.

I fold the top half of the base in half and bend a little on top.

On the upper part I squeeze out round eyes with a cap and draw a beak.

Round the corners at the bottom. I make the "ears" sharper.

I put it to bake, after lubricating the wings and ears with yolk.

Here is such a golden owl after baking for 7 minutes at 180 degrees.

What else can you make owls?

Toy

I pierce the second round blank from above with a cap through and through. And below I make prints with the same cap.

I put the toy to bake.

After baking, I put a little red varnish on all the circles, and draw leaves above them. This is mistletoe. It remains to thread a ribbon into the hole and you can decorate the Christmas tree with a toy.

Hedgehog

A small barrel-cylinder rolls down, in which the nose of the future hedgehog is slightly lengthened.

Needles are cut across the body. To do this, you need nail scissors with curved edges.

First, the edges of the scissors are slightly pressed into the dough, then the “needle” is cut.

By the same principle, a Christmas tree is made from salt dough: its branches are cut with scissors.

Now go over the muzzle and each edge of the needle with a brush with yolk, and you can send the product to the oven.

After baking, make a nose and eyes by pressing a piece of a twig, and the Hedgehog with golden needles is ready!

That's how it turned out to make 4 toys with the baby!

Salt dough for modeling is a safe material for children's crafts. You can make cool Christmas decorations of any shape from it. Let's see a few master classes prepared by designers.

salt dough recipe

For crafts from the dough, take:

• 1 glass of salt;
• 1 glass of flour;
• water;
• colored gouache.

This is the easiest salt dough recipe ever. To improve it, add 5 tablespoons of sunflower oil.

IDEA! Paint can be replaced with juice (cherry or beetroot). If a child eats a piece of dough during modeling, he definitely will not be poisoned. The dough can be colored already at the end.

How to cook dough at home? Step by step:

1. Throw all the components into a deep plate. First dry, then only water and oil.
2. Mix everything so that the dough turns out like dumplings. It shouldn't be oak.
3. To make the mass faster, turn on the mixer.

IDEA! If the toys are small or you need to make small parts, make the dough separately with PVA or starch. Perhaps there was some glue left after wallpapering. Use it instead of PVA.

How to make DIY salt dough crafts

Salt dough, the recipe of which will be easy even for children to master, is a very flexible material, but in terms of composition it is absolutely safe. Add food coloring or generally natural (fruit or vegetable juices) to it. Even if you leave the child alone for modeling, nothing will happen to him.

Sculpting tools:

1. rolling pin;
2. working flat surface;
3. ball pen;
4. brush for drawing;
5. cup;
6. threads;
7. medium size needle;
8. silicone baking molds;
9. any stencils for patterns;
10. paint (acrylic or gouache);

To prevent gouache from cracking, add glue to it.

We cover the figurine with paint and varnish

The dye is added not only at the stage of kneading the dough, but also during modeling. Just divide the dough into several parts (1 part = 1 color), make a well in the center and add the dye. When sculpting, it will be distributed evenly throughout the piece.

With a regular brush, you need to paint the grooves from the paw

When the figurine is ready, cover it with varnish, so the paint will definitely not roll and brighten. The aerosol form will facilitate the coating process.

If the varnish is liquid, cover the toy in several layers. Thick cover in one layer. It can also be matte.

IMPORTANT! If you properly dry the toy, you can do without varnish. It is needed if you are not quite sure that you did everything right.

What can go wrong?

1. Cracks or bubbles appear after drying. So, you dried the figurine incorrectly. Most likely, the temperature is high when the oven door is closed. Try sanding these areas with sandpaper.
2. Cracks may appear after painting. Let the craft dry completely and only then paint. Dry the figurine in natural conditions, sand the cracks with sandpaper and paint again.
3. If any part of the figure broke off, glue it with PVA.
4. Store figurines in a dry place at normal room temperature. They can be folded into any cardboard box, then nothing will definitely happen to them by the next holiday.
