Every person should have their own hobby. After all, this is exactly the occupation that gives special joy and happiness. Of course, there are many options for what you can do. For example, cycling, embroidery, collecting, drawing, filming and much more. But if you want to find a more budget option, then we suggest that you try yourself in the modeling of salt dough. We picked up master classes of different complexity that will help you master the modeling.
Magnets in the form of huts
Making such charming houses for a beginner can be quite difficult. But this is a great incentive to try something new and achieve good results.
To work we need:
- salty dough;
- acrylic paints;
- gouache;
- tassels;
- stationery knife;
- toothpicks or needles;
- magnets;
- board for work;
- colorless varnish;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- paper;
- felt;
- sponge;
- PVA glue;
- rhinestones;
- dots;
- white glitter (optional).
To begin with we draw or we print on a hut printer. Cut a stencil from thick paper.
Salt dough can be purchased at the store for creativity or do it yourself. Roll out a not too thick layer of dough and put a hut template on top. We press it and cut off the excess. Roll it out and form a thin strip. Cut it into several parts and put it in the form of logs on the house.
Using a needle or toothpick, we carefully draw the lines on the logs so that they look more natural. From the remnants of the test form two more strips. Lubricate with water and transfer to the hut roof. Using dots or toothpicks make small indentations, as shown in the photo. Make a small ball, flatten and cut into two parts. We attach to the house and make the recesses.
We make a very thin and small strip out of dough, lubricate it with water and attach it around the window.
We form the main window in the form of a rectangle and attach it to the house. We divide a small strip into several parts and fasten it in the form of a frame. If desired, you can make the deepening dotsom or toothpick.
We start to create a Christmas tree. Cut three blanks of small size in the form of a trapezoid. Round out each of them and slightly cut into three parts. Using a toothpick round the edges. We form a Christmas tree on the side of the hut.
On the other side we make a little smaller tree. In each of them we make indentations, as well as snow on the windows and the roof.
We start the creation of the second version of the hut. At the beginning we repeat the same thing, but slightly change the shape of the roof and the window.
We form a thin strip of dough and put it over the window. You can slightly flatten with a knife.
Repeat the same thing below the window. We also make shutters from dough. We form three balls of different sizes for a snowman. We flatten them and attach them to the house, as shown in the photo. Do not forget to make a hat, scarf, as well as the nose, hands and feet.
We leave preparations before full drying. Cover them with gouache in black or brown. When it is completely dry, wash it off, so that the figures are embossed. Gently paint the huts with acrylic paints.
We apply a little white and blue paint on the windows, quickly mix and distribute. Color the snowman and add white paint on the Christmas trees.
We cover the figures with transparent varnish. Cut out the felt from the felt. Where we painted the snow, apply a thin layer of glue and sprinkle with glitter. After it dries, you can add a few rhinestones.
We glue to each hut a billet of felt, and on top of it a magnet.
Beautiful, original salt dough magnets are ready!
