How to make dough for crafts: recipe

You can make your own dough with just a few simple ingredients: flour, fine salt, citric acid, vegetable oil and water.

Mix first 1 cup of flour with 0.5 cups of salt and 2 teaspoons of citric acid. Pour into a saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dry mixture. Place over medium heat, gradually add water and stir. Water should go no more than 0.5 cups. When the mass lags behind the walls of the pan and becomes one lump, remove the pan from the heat. Take out the mass, put it on a board sprinkled with flour, and, like a regular dough, knead with your hands.

If you want to make colored dough for modeling, you first need to dilute dry food coloring in water. You can also add a little gouache to the finished dough and knead it well so that the color becomes uniform.

How to prepare salt dough for modeling?

Prepare salt dough. Color it in different colors, depending on what you want to mold. The dough can be made uncolored, divided into balls and a little gouache of the desired color can be added to each and kneaded. It is better to make a dough of regular colors, and then mix them to achieve the desired.

Keep the dough in a bag, or wrap it in cling film, you can put it in a closed container so that it does not dry out. If it still dries out, add a little water, and if it is too wet, add a little flour.

1. Make the dough thinner and just spread it on the base of the craft, so you can make butter on a slice of bread, or make chocolate icing for a cake from brown dough.
2. Try on food you've made with toy plates that you'll play with later to match.
3. To stick pieces of salt dough together, use a wet brush. Spread the junction with a brush, and stick the parts to each other
4. When sculpting food for dolls, it is very important to make the dough the same color as the original as possible, for example, carrots should be orange, not yellow or red.
5. So that the colors do not fade, open the craft with varnish. For classes with children, you need to use special harmless varnishes, they do not have an unpleasant odor, because they are made on a water basis

Drying figures from salt dough for modeling

There are two ways to dry salt dough crafts.

1. Air dry crafts. It is best if you put them on a smooth surface and leave for a few days. When the craft is dry, turn it over or lay it on its side so that it dries on all sides.
2. Baking in the oven. Preheat the oven well, put baking paper on a baking sheet, lay out the crafts on top, put in the oven and turn off the heat. The oven must be closed and not opened until completely dry. You can also bake crafts at a temperature of 100 ° C, but in this case, you need to watch them so that they do not burn.

These two methods can be combined, for example, dry for an hour in the oven, then leave in the air, after a while still in the oven, and so on until it dries.

Of course, if there are other decorations (beads, beads) in the craft, you need to dry it in the first way.

VIDEO: Craft from salt dough "Owl"

Dough modeling is a fun way to spend time with children. After all, at the same time, they not only sculpt, but also cook: they can experiment with the flour mixture in the process of measuring and mixing the ingredients, and then observe the metamorphoses that occur with the finished product when temperatures change during the drying process.

In addition, crafts made from salt dough are harmless to children, they do not contain allergens, and they can be safely tasted.

Figures made from homemade flour mixture are harder and better preserved than plasticine.

Basic dough recipe

Before making dough for modeling, you need to imagine what kind of products will be made, whether the dough needs to be dyed, how long modeling will take, which drying mode will be selected.

The basic dough recipe for crafts consists of one part of salt and two parts of wheat flour to which citric acid is added - 2 tsp. 1 cup salt and 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. The amount of water added during mixing should be equal to the amount of salt.

Dough preparation method

The test is made in the following order:

• Mix flour with salt and citric acid and pour this mixture into a saucepan;
• Place the saucepan over moderate heat and, stirring constantly, gradually add water until the dough begins to lag behind the pan and can be rolled into a ball.
• Remove from heat and knead the dough with your hands.

Food coloring or gouache must be diluted in water, which is added before kneading the dough.

In the course of work, depending on the required consistency, the salt-flour mixture can be further diluted with water or oil, or flour can be added for hardness.

It is better to prepare the dough in as small portions as possible, right before sculpting, and store it only in a tightly closed container or cling film.

Drying salt dough crafts

In order for DIY salt dough crafts to retain their shape, do not break, and do not crack, you need to choose the right drying mode. You can simply leave the figurines to dry naturally in the air, you can put them in the oven.

There are two different methods for oven drying. The first is to preheat the oven, then turn it off and place the figurines in the heated space. You can also bake products at 100-degree mode, making sure that there is no burning.

A master class on making dough crafts involves, first of all, experimenting with the material: the composition of the dough and its drying mode, so failures in this process are inevitable.

Useful advice: Starting modeling with children, you need to set them up so that the first success, after many not quite aesthetic attempts, becomes a real miracle for them.

It is better to start with simple and uniform shapes, such as, for example, round beads of various colors and sizes. From them you can make garlands to decorate the room.

Then you can master more complex silhouettes - stars, hearts, and three-dimensional figures - New Year's snowflakes, Christmas trees, Easter eggs with patterns, egg coasters, chickens.

You can time the production of figurines for the holidays, or choose more neutral motifs for all occasions, making souvenirs and gifts in the form of stylized horseshoes, suns, stars, airplanes and funny faces.

During modeling, you can use special molds for modeling and baking, and other things, at the prompt of your imagination: garlic crush - to get thin ropes from dough, bottle caps - to cut out circles, plastic parts of toys - to get prints, almost everything What is at hand from a toothpick to wheels from toy cars can become a tool for sculpting dough.

Note!

It is easy to make holes in salt dough, both decorative and for hanging on threads. Holes on flat figures retain their shape when dry.

But when making more voluminous parts, such as spherical balls, in order to make a hole for the thread, you need to pierce the figure with a toothpick or other sharp tool made of wood or plastic and do not remove it until the product dries.

Helpful Hint: To glue the elements of the dough, it is enough just to wet the individual sections and attach them to each other.

From volumetric and flat figures, you can make garlands, key chains, medals and pendants. You can fashion chests and cups for storing jewelry, small treasures and pencils.

Volumetric figures of animals

Volumetric figures of animals are especially popular with children; they can be made in accordance with popular step-by-step instructions that are designed for plasticine and clay crafts.

Note!

You can sculpt from dough without dyes, then paint the finished figure and, after drying, varnish it.

You can also cut out various figures: having made their layout from cardboard, put it on a flat dough previously rolled out with a rolling pin and carefully cut along the edges. Then you can color the figurine, add the necessary texture - roughness, strokes, make eyes, nose or bead jewelry.

A wonderful handmade gift can be a photo frame or a unique candlestick.

Making panels that combine elements of mosaic, appliqué and modeling can captivate both children and adults. For the smallest, the simplest drawings are suitable: you must first draw a silhouette on parchment, then carefully fill it with dough along the lines.

More complex ideas can also be conceived and implemented using beads, cereal mosaics, dried flowers, etc.

Note!

Photo crafts from the dough

Most of the New Year decorations are within the power of not only needlewomen, but even small children: many New Year's salt dough crafts are created using cookie cutters. Such "cookies" can be hung on a Christmas tree or made into garlands.

Another plus of cookies is their safety: even curious babies or puppies will not harm themselves.

Unexpectedly graceful and airy look snowflakes and Christmas trees made of salt dough, painted markers. Such snowflakes can be collected into garlands or used as Christmas decorations.

To make salt dough snowflake crafts shine like real ones on New Year's Eve, before coloring them, you can hprimed with silver paint. Another technique that will help make the salt dough more airy is to cut windows in the middle of the star from the dough, also in the shape of stars.

solar garland
