In today's master class, we want to bring to your attention an author's craft by Tomara Bystrova, a Christmas tree toy made of salted dough in the shape of a star. I think it is not worth dwelling once again on the uniqueness and beauty of handicrafts. You just need to do something with your own hands at least once and evaluate the quality and originality of the work. Following this MK, you have the opportunity to make a star out of salt dough with your own hands and decorate a beautiful Christmas tree with it, or come up with a craftwork in another place in the decor of an apartment or house.

How to make a star out of dough: step-by-step MK

As you understand, the main component of the future craft is the dough and the paper star pattern. Therefore, we will not put off and knead the salty dough from the following components.

Flour - 0.5 stack.;
Salt - 0.25 stack.; (for the dough it is desirable to use fine salt, such as "Extra")
Sunflower oil - 1 tsp;
Water is optional;
Thread and bead.

The easiest recipe for making salty craft dough

Mix flour with salt, add sunflower oil and water. So much water is needed so that the dough after kneading does not stick to the hands and does not crumble. Try adding 2 tables first. spoons, and then orient yourself with the need to increase its quantity.

We roll out the dough 0.5 cm thick. Cut out the star pattern and proceed to the main steps of our master class. That is, we put a paper star on top of the dough and ...

... carefully cut out the blank of the toy with a stack or with an ordinary kitchen knife.

Now we make an incision on one side of the sprocket in the same way as in the photo.

And we thread a thread with a bead or any other element inside it.

Gently pinch the thread with toast.

Align the edges of the craft, rubbing the roughness with your fingers soaked in water.

And we put the product to dry in the oven for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, after sprinkling the baking sheet with flour.

You can verify that the star is baked by knocking it on the table. Hearing at the same time a sufficiently sonorous sound ...

Cuts can be made before drying the garment. giving the star a unique pattern. After drying, it remains only to paint the Christmas tree toy with gouache, spray paint, or any other paint intended for this.

We painted our star with silver spray paint. As a result, we got such a job.

And this is how the star looks on an artificial Christmas tree made of paper.

But on a large living tree, it will look even more delightful and beautiful.

Ships, shells, she has it, but the walls are bare! So the idea came to me to make a couple of sea animals, so to speak, to fill in the blanks. Here he is closer here. I must note that the quality of the photos is awful ... in life he is a little bit better !. And, of course, I hope for the magical properties of Photoshop!

A This is the template I used to cut out a ridge from the dough. My printer is broken. so I put parchment paper for baking to the monitor, redrawn with a pencil, cut out and applied to the dough.

The dough remained after the skate, so I decided to do something else. That's how these fish were born.

And these are the tools that I use when sculpting. I got carried away with cold porcelain, and when I started looking for stacks and gourds to work with it, I found out that in our art stores they either do not exist, or they are very expensive! The solution was quickly found. I ordered them over the Internet from China! For just a symbolic price! I had to wait a month .. but I was just happy when I received them! We have such tools 5 times more expensive! And then if you find them somewhere! I also ordered such an acrylic rolling pin. It leaves a beautiful pattern on the surface.

In itself a word "star" is incorrect, since these creatures are not actually fish. Starfish are echinoderms. There are many different types of starfish, in fact, there are about two thousand. They inhabit every ocean in the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, as well as the Arctic and Southern Ocean, although the maximum variety of sea stars is observed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Although they also live in shallow water, they will never live in freshwater bodies. These invertebrate predators can live for thirty-five long years!

You already, my friend, of course
Heard something about me:
I am always five-pointed
And I live at the very bottom.

Want to know some more interesting starfish facts? If yes, I invite you to meet:
- One of the amazing starfish facts is that these creatures have no brains! As with star anatomy, they lack a proper central nervous system and instead have nerves that lie within and below their skin.
- The starfish does not have centrally located eyes per se, but instead has eyes on the tips of its hands that can allow it to see light and dark, but not very clearly.
These were just a few surprising facts about starfish, in fact, there are many more. These marine creatures, despite their immense popularity and diversity of species, are endangered due to environmental pollution, especially from oil spills. The culprit, of course, of all this is man. Therefore, the Master Class will make its own contribution, and we will admire the sea inhabitants, without destroying them, make it with our own hands. It is necessary for all of us to try at least in this way to extend the life of our five-pointed friends in order to admire their grace and beauty.
