An interesting piece of art - a goat from salted dough

Salted dough is very convenient for modeling. It was used by our ancestors back in the Middle Ages. It is similar in structure to plasticine, its properties are unique: it does not stick to your hands, it's very sticky in a hand-made article, you can work with it for a long time before it starts to solidify. He was loved by both adults and children, and they obtained real works of art from them.

Making the dough

Often a salty dough was used to make toys. One such example may be a goat from a salted dough. How to do it? Now tell.

Before you start modeling, you need to prepare the dough itself. For a long time the existence of this technology, several recipes were invented. Carrying the figure along with the baby, it is better to use the classic version, which includes only flour, water and salt (a glass of flour, half a glass of salt, water - how much).

Making a goat

So, for work, we prepare dough, water and a brush. The modeling of the goat will take place in several stages. At the first stage, the dough is rolled out, depending on whether a flat or three-dimensional figure should turn out.

If there is no skill, it is better to start with the first option. When the dough is rolled out, we make from it according to the drawing first small detail, and then larger. Leave them to dry for about fifteen minutes. In the next step, the parts are very carefully joined together. If there are irregularities, we correct them with a brush dipped in water. Ready figure dry. This will take about a day. And at the last stage there is a gloss and coloring of the figure. That's all, the goat from the salty dough is ready.

Another version of the goat

If you have the skill to work with such a floury consistency, then you can try to make more complex crafts from salted dough. Goat, decorated with a twist of a twine, can be a wonderful souvenir for a friend or an exclusive magnet on the fridge.

So, let's prepare salty dough, thermo-pistol, stack, paint, twine. Form the head. We make a smile with the help of a stack. We add ears, we make horns, we make small cuts on them. From the test, we roll small circles (this will be the eyes), attach it to the place and mark the pupils with a pencil. To the head we add a neck with a strap and a bell. Now we need to make a torso, on it - a tail. The legs are made of twine attached to the trunk, on the tip - a hoof. Workpiece is. Now it's dry and then we start to finish.

We color, as far as anyone has enough imagination. It remains to make a fur. To do this, cut into small pieces of twine and begin to glue from the bottom up to the body. Everything, a goat from a salty dough is ready. She can decorate the Christmas tree, the fridge, successfully fit into the kitchen panel.

Lamb

And how else to make a sheep? Now tell. We use dough, brush, foil, paint, toothpick, ribbon, glue. Roll out the dough up to 5 mm thick. Part of it goes to the body. From the remaining test, cut the strips and wrap them in spirals. The basis of the body with a brush moistened with water and with the help of a toothpick we lay on it "wool". From the remains of the dough we will make the missing parts: paws, head, ears.

Using a brush moistened with water, we will glue it all to the torso. We transfer it to a baking sheet and bake it (2 hours at a temperature of 80 degrees), lifting the head with paper. The legs are baked separately, because they will be attached to the trunk with the help of braid on the glue. The cooled figure is adorned at our discretion.

Goat

So, from the rolled out dough we cut out the trunk and form the head of the goat, we decorate the body with a pattern (flowers, hearts, asterisks), which can be applied in any way (pen, lace napkin), add horns, ears, cut out the nose, outline the eyes. We sculpt hooves, make holes with a toothpick on the hoof and on the trunk, so that later it can be attached. Further options are possible: dry or bake in the oven. In the second case our souvenirs will acquire a pleasant golden hue. It remains to paint and add some bright elements (bow, flower, scarf, bell). That's all. The souvenir is ready.

If there is no time for painstaking work on the craft, in this case a goat can be rescued, a sheep made from salted dough, performed by a simplified technology. To do this, we take a piece of dough, divide it into three parts: one goes to the trunk, the other to the head, from the third we make horns, ears, a tail and legs (we will attach them to the lace). All the details are laid out on cardboard and dried. When dry, decorate the hoof and horns with nail polish. Everything is ready.
