Christmas tree made from salt dough

Crafts In the form of a Christmas tree, many of us make it before the New Year holidays. For this, a variety of materials are used, such as: beads, plastic, plasticine, clay, paper, cardboard, rubber bands. Such homemade souvenirs are the best present for our family and friends.
In my master class I will explain how to make a small Christmas tree from salt dough. For greater clarity, I took step-by-step photographs and wrote a detailed description for them.



So, we will need:
- two tablespoons of table salt (preferably fine);
- two tablespoons of flour;
- 10-15 ml of water;
- Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter;
- Brushes;
- Pearlescent acrylic paints (green, yellow, red).



Creation steps:
1. In a container, mix flour and salt in a one to one ratio.



2. Add a small amount of water.



3. Stir the mixture until it has a homogeneous consistency.



4. Knead the ball of dough, which should come off your hands well.



5. Roll out the cake; its thickness should be about two to three millimeters. Using a special mold, cut out the figure.If you do not have such a device, then you can replace it with a regular kitchen knife.



6. Leave the figurine to dry overnight; it is best to place it on a regular piece of paper. The dough should become very hard.



7. After the Christmas tree has hardened, take green pearlescent acrylic paint and paint the background.



8. Open the yellow paint and draw a garland of balls, placing them diagonally.



9. We complete the production of the figurine. Add a few red balls.



That's all! The salt dough figurine in the shape of an elegant Christmas tree is ready! Upcoming holidays!
