Step-by-step master class will teach you how to make a herringbone of salty dough with your own hands
Salted dough is a unique and plastic material that can be made at home from improvised means. Today I will tell you how to make a colorful New Year tree from it. We need the following tools and ingredients: 3 spoons of flour; 6 table spoons of salt; 10 ml of water; container for dough; mold for a biscuit in the form of a Christmas tree; gouache paints; thin brush.
The order of creation: In a container, mix wheat flour and kitchen salt in the proportion of one to two.
Gradually add a little water, mix until homogeneity. You should get a soft and soft dough.
We sprinkle the work surface with a small amount of flour, so that the figure does not stick to the table and does not deteriorate.
We roll out a layer of dough, the thickness of which should be about four millimeters.
Using a special mold, we cut out a figure,sharply pushing it down. If you do not have such a device, then you can use an ordinary knife, but you have to try a little to cut an even contour.
Leave for a day our workpiece in a warm place, so that it dried up, gained strength and became firm. After that, paint the background: green and brown.
Add bright decorations in the form of garlands of balls, located diagonally.
That's all! A fantastic Christmas tree with bright Christmas balls is ready. As you can see, even a child can make it. Success in creative work!
