How to make a vase from salt dough?

    I love salty dough. This material is available to everyone, because it is very easy to prepare at home. Enough glass of fine salt Extra, for example; a glass of cold water and flour. Knead a tight dough and let it stand. In order for the vase to dry, we need to make a frame or base. I recommend using foil. Just crumple a decent lump and then close it with dough. to give the shape you need, you can use the finished image or the vase that you already have. Hands should be dry, but if it is difficult for you to work with the dough, then you can slightly (!) Moisten them with water. We form a vase and let it dry. It is best to put in a preheated oven (but already turned off). Then you can apply a drawing and varnish.

    By the way, you can put green grass in a vase. To do this, the dough must be painted with gouache.

    Here is such vase from salt dough, it is very easy and simple to make.

    What you need for work, we take a plastic bottle, the desired shape, we prepare salted dough

    cut the neck of the bottle

    roll out the dough and wrap the bottle

    now, we need to leave our vase to dry

    now, from the solo dough we make such a circle

    slightly lubricated with water, for good fastening

    attach to our vase

    now, you can varnish, sign or draw beautiful flowers

    Salt dough crafts are very creative and interesting work. In addition, products made from salt dough are quite durable and can please the eye with their beauty for a long time. It is much more interesting to make functional crafts from salt dough, which can be used in the future. One of these crafts can be a vase of salt dough. If you put decorative flowers in such a vase, it will become a real design touch in decorating any home. To make a vase, you need to prepare the following materials. This is the salt dough itself in two colors - green and orange, an empty bottle from some kind of detergent (the main thing is that it is round, as this will be the basis of our vase), a special silicone glue gun, toothpicks, acrylic paints, scissors, tulle (small piece), leaf, varnish. First of all, you need to make the colored salt dough itself. To do this, stir food coloring in water and pour it into a hill of salted flour. Knead the dough well until it becomes homogeneous. When the dough is ready, we move on to the next step. We take an empty bottle, cut off the top from it and stick it around with green salt dough. To spread the dough evenly, you can roll it on some flat surface. To make patterns on a vase, you can take a pre-prepared sheet and apply its leg to the dough, you will get patterns. We make bees from salt dough of a different color, fasten the body with the head with toothpicks. You need to leave the craft for a while so that it dries. It remains only to decorate the bees, glue pieces of fabric instead of wings, glue them to the vase and cover the craft with varnish. In such a wonderful vase, you can put not only decorative, but also fresh flowers.

I finally finished my salt dough giraffe vase. The girl came out 38 cm tall, and weighs 5.3 kg. A vase is not only for dried flowers, you can also keep fresh flowers in it. The only detail that serves as a partial frame is a narrow tall glass cup inside the giraffe. Water flows in and out safely. Painted with ink and watercolor, partially covered with varnish.
Thank you for watching!!!

Recipe for those interested

I used to pour everything by eye, because all quantities are approximate.
For 4 tablespoons of flour (spoons with a huge slide), somewhere around 4 tablespoons of fine salt, but modest and without a slide. There are 2 tablespoons of potato starch without a slide. And vodka. I pour directly from the kettle into the eye - a little pour, stir, if necessary, add more water, or add flour and salt.

The lump of dough will be modest, but I make them in such portions - at the time of use.

I sculpted a giraffe for 10 days. It's more likely not about the dough. The fact is that I first made a flat "foundation", 3-3.5 cm high, dried it in the oven. It didn't completely dry, of course, but it hardened well. I put a glass in the middle, pressed it about 0.5 cm. Then I glued the glass with a thin layer of dough. Dried. I also increased the width, dried it again. Then, step by step, I built on the top, the body of a giraffe. Each layer, row, and so on dried, otherwise everything would slip or spread. The vase was not always held vertically. Much that she pasted, she glued in a horizontal position, laying the vase on the pillow, because. on the table, she either began to squeeze through, or ride. I improvised a lot, you can’t tell everything step by step.

You can make a huge number of crafts from salt dough, for example: flowers, animals, various figures, inscriptions, numbers, toys, paintings and whatever you want! Modeling from salt dough is called bioceramics. The advantage of salt dough is that it is convenient to work with, this material is absolutely harmless and crafts made from it will delight you for several years. In this article, we will look at how to make crafts from salt dough with your own hands.

You will need: a glass of wheat flour, a glass of extra salt, half a glass of cold water, a bowl.

Recipe

The finished salt dough should not stick to your hands or crumble. It should be cool and comfortable to sculpt. I recommend watching the video tutorial!

There are two most common ways to dry salt dough. The first way: the finished craft will dry itself. The main thing is that direct sunlight does not fall on it, otherwise it will crack. The craft can be put on a flat surface and wait a few days. The second way: the finished craft is dried in the oven for 3 to 6 hours (depending on the size of the craft). Drying takes place intermittently. One approach is 1-2 hours. For quick drying in one go, set 75-100 degrees in the oven, and then the craft will dry in an hour. At a temperature of 120 degrees, the craft will dry in 30 minutes, but it is better to dry it naturally.

There are two most common ways to color salt dough. The first way: after drying, the finished craft is painted with acrylic paints or gouache using a brush. The second way: food coloring is diluted in water, then added during the preparation of the dough. When the craft is completely painted and dried, it must be covered with a transparent manicure or furniture varnish in 2-3 layers. Each layer must dry before applying the next. In this way, the craft will last for a long time.

You will need: dyed salt dough, stack, clear nail polish, toothpick.

Salt dough crafts, handmade vase will be wonderful home decorations and gifts for relatives and friends. Today we will talk about how to make a wonderful vase from this environmentally friendly material.

You will need:

  • green salt dough
  • orange salt dough
  • bottle of contact lens cleaner
  • adhesive silicone gun
  • scissors
  • toothpicks
  • acrylic paints
  • sheet
  • a piece of tulle or braid

How to do

We prepare source materials

To make a salt dough vase, we need green salt dough, orange salt dough, a bottle of contact lens cleaner, a silicone glue gun, scissors, toothpicks, acrylic paints, a piece of paper, a piece of tulle or braid, varnish.


Making salt dough

So, for starters, we make colored salty dough. To do this, we need 3 parts flour, 2 parts fine salt and 1 part water. Mix water with food coloring of the desired color and pour it into salted flour, poured in a slide. We knead the dough well. If it crumbles, add a little water; if it seems watery, add flour. It is important to achieve a uniform color of the dough mass. We make salt dough in other colors we need.


Making the base of the vase

We cut off the top of the bottle of contact lens cleanser and we get the base of the vase. We take green salt dough and evenly distribute it over the surface of the plastic. To level the vase, roll it with your hands on a flat surface.


Making a relief

To make the vase more interesting, take a leaf and begin to carefully apply it to the vase so that prints are obtained.


We sculpt bees and dry

Now we sculpt bees from orange salt dough. To do this, we make an oval part from a piece of mass, then we separate the head from the abdomen with a stack. We break off a piece of a toothpick with a point and insert it into the middle of the head, forming a bee sting. Leave the craft to dry at room temperature for 1-2 days.


We form bees

Now we cover the vase with varnish. We decorate the bees with acrylic paints, making a black head and black stripes. We cut a rectangle from the fabric into the mesh, round the edges, tie it in the middle with a thread and glue it to the bee. We've got lids. It remains only to glue the bees to the vase.




We assemble the vase in three stages:

  • at the first stage, we glue the workpiece with dough,
  • on the second - we grow the inner layer of grass,
  • and on the third - we grow the outer layer of grass.

Before each new stage, all products and blanks must be well dried.

The third final stage is the most important and it should be given special attention - how you complete it will depend on how it will look, how beautiful your vase will turn out.

To make a vase, we need:

1. Salt dough (1 tbsp Extra salt + 2 tbsp flour + 130-150 ml water)

2. Form-base for a vase (I took a half-liter plastic bottle)

3. Toothpicks

4. Board for work covered with foil

6. A glass of water

1. We take a plastic bottle and cut it to the desired height.

Remember that the grass will rise above the base by about 2.5 - 3.5 cm and the vase will turn out to be much larger than the base. For example, the base of my vase was about 6 cm in diameter and 11.5 cm high, and the final vase turned out to be 9 cm wide and 14 cm high.

You can make your vase bigger or smaller, wider or narrower - just take into account the increase in volume and calculate which base you need to take.


2. Roll out strips of dough about 2 mm thick, 2-3 cm wide and 10-12 cm long. Prepare 5-6 strips at once.

3. We begin to wrap the prepared strips around the base, adding from the bottom up until we glue the entire bottle. Do not forget to lightly moisten the joints with water.

4. Paste the top end of the base of the vase with dough.

5. Now let your workpiece dry.

I set aside 3 days for drying, although the layer of dough is thin, but it dries only on one side, so it’s better not to rush.

It is important that the dough is well dried, because on it we will subsequently attach our grass!

After the base has dried, we can begin to “grow” grass on it. I "grown" two layers.

6. We make the inner layer (closest to the base) of the grass short: roll out the flagellum from the dough and put a toothpick inside for strength.


So that the still wet grass does not deform, the upper cut-off, foil-wrapped part of the bottle was inserted into the base, on which the grass rested.


8. After the top part was filled, I put the base on the inserted part of the bottle and fastened the rest of the blades of grass upside down. However, this could have been done from the very beginning.

So I attached 14 blades of grass. And again sent the future vase to dry.

The distance between the blades of grass turned out to be about 0.7-1 cm. I deliberately made the blades of grass not the same - the difference in height is 1 - 1.5 cm (in some places even 2 cm), so that the vase looks livelier and more attractive.

At the same time, I made a small flower and also left it to dry.

While the vase with the first layer of grass dries, we begin to make blanks for the outer layer:

We roll out the flagella from 12 to 14 cm long. We slightly sharpen the upper part and bend it a little, and cut off the lower part with a knife to make it even.

In total, we need 28-30 blades of grass on the outside of the vase (better make 2-3 more things in reserve). The diameter of each is about 5-6 mm and the length is 12-14 cm. And we send this grass to dry for 3-4 days.

So we have:
-preparation of a vase with an already glued inner layer of grass,
-and blanks of blades of grass for the outer layer.

The blades of grass of the outer layer are quite delicate and can easily break due to strong pressure when gluing, since the base is not a perfectly flat surface.

To prevent this from happening and so that the blades of grass fit beautifully tightly to each other and hold firmly on the vase, we need to make an internal technical layer of dough to which we will grow blades of grass.

For this:

10. Roll out a piece of dough about 4 x 9 cm, 3-4 mm thick. Moisten with water and glue to the workpiece (approximately as in the photo on the left)

11. We fasten the blades of grass close to each other on fresh dough, gently pressing them into a layer of dough.


Try not to have the blades of grass standing next to the same length, let them be different. So we fill the entire surface of the vase.

All! The main work is done.

Let your beauty dry well.
Take your time. Give her a week, and preferably 10-12 days.

After drying, the vase looks like this:


12. When the vase has dried well, we begin to revive it.

We take our favorite paints, I use ordinary gouache. We mix yellow, green, blue, dip the brush into the paint, turn on the imagination and ...

This is what the vase looks like after painting.


Let's not forget to make a soft pink flower.

13. After the paint has dried, cover the vase with two layers of varnish, tie it with a beautiful ribbon and be sure toput a bunch of flowers in it!
