Paints;
Brushes of different sizes;

The liquid is added as it is kneaded. Some masters advise adding 2 tbsp. l. PVA to make the dough stronger. The composition is mixed with a mixer, or manually, as a result of which a white, tight mass should be obtained. It is wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a cold place for 40-50 minutes.

You can make a panel in a photo frame, pictures in this case can be placed on the wall.

You can do the work on a standard sculpting board. First, the head and body are formed from rolled balls. They should be flattened on the board and the edges aligned..

All parts of the face are done with a toothpick. Eyes, eyebrows, nose – made of dough. It should be noted that when kneading the dough, you can divide it into several parts and immediately add the corresponding colors to each of them – blue, light blue, golden, red, silver.

The snowman can be decorated with colored plasticine

The body of a snowman is designed identically – that is, you need to make arms, legs, mittens, buttons. One hand needs to be bent in order to further insert the panicle into it. Separately from the dough, mold a bucket, in principle, you can make any headdress with a lapel, bubo or without accessories. A snowman with a scarf looks beautiful. To make an item of clothing, you need to roll out a rectangle, divide it into 2 parts, which are connected to each other. The fringe is separated with a toothpick. The color of the headdress must match the color of the scarf.

The snowman always has a broom. It is done with a garlic press. A small part of the salt dough is squeezed out, and multiple threads are obtained, which are attached to the toothpick and directly to the snowman’s hand. By the way – the sharp edges of the toothpick should be cut off.

If it is envisaged to carry out crafts from the dough of the same color, then after its creation, the snowman is painted in the corresponding colors.

At the end, the figure is transferred to a base with a frame, it is advisable to process the reverse side of the snowman with PVA and let the craft dry (at least 15 hours).

You need to do this 5 times and then leave for another 10 hours until completely dry. The final stage is coating the surface of the product with a colorless varnish.

For work you need:

Salted dough of two colors – emerald and scarlet;
Old CD or DVD disc;
Three birch branches (according to the disc size);
Paints;
Colorless nail polish.

First of all, leaves are made of green dough, the lamellar structure of which is drawn with a toothpick. They should be about 5 cm in size, the number should be 24-25 pieces. Sculpt directly onto the twigs, giving a natural shape to the arrangement of the leaves.

Then the berries are formed and attached to one of the upper sides of the disc, between the leaves. With a toothpick on each berry, you need to make a small hole so that they are as similar as possible to the real ones..

With the help of gouache, you can shade parts of the craft and make the rowan branch more natural. Apply a colorless nail polish to cure to the surface. Dry at room temperature for 24 hours.
