Easter crafts made of salted dough are able to decorate the Easter holiday in the best way, make it warm and joyful. An Easter egg made from salted dough on a stand will best help convey the mood of this wonderful holiday. Crafts from the dough do not take much time to make them, and the pleasure of sculpting and coloring simply cannot be conveyed. The kids are delighted, and so are the parents!
The master class of this craft will allow you to cope with the task without difficulty.
You can, of course, roll the whole egg out of the dough. Only it will dry for a very long time, it is rather heavy and can crack and swell when dry. Salted dough gives a good result if its thickness in the product does not exceed 7 cm.
Therefore, it is best to make Easter eggs - dummies on a frame. In this case, the best option is an empty eggshell. To prepare it, you need to make two small holes in a raw egg with a sharp object - you can use a darning needle, or the tip of a knife. The inside of the egg is blown onto a plate for use in food later.
Now you should start preparing the mass for modeling. A cup of ordinary flour (without impurities), half a cup of finely ground salt are poured into a bowl, mixed. Water is gradually added to the mixture, and everything is immediately mixed. Then the dough is kneaded on the table. It should have the consistency of dumplings.
An empty shell is placed on a rolled pancake.
Then the whole frame is wrapped in the dough, the seams are smoothed with fingers soaked in water, the surface is leveled by rolling the egg on the table. At one end, a puncture should be made in the dough shell in the place where the shell has a hole, otherwise, during baking, the air that has increased in volume from heating will give an ugly swelling.
Letters, flowers, berries, leaves are cut out of a thinly rolled piece for modeling mass with a sharp knife - everything that the master's fantasy tells. Having moistened the side of the future bas-relief with water, which will attach it to the main part, the sculptor carefully applies the applique in the right place. With fingers dipped in water, carefully smoothes the seams so that there are no cracks.
You can emphasize the border of the bas-relief using a knife. The point should be applied with the flat side - the sharp part should be directed directly to the line where the bas-relief rises above the plane.
You can bake an egg in a conventional oven, but it is preferable to do it in a "microwave". The mode should be set to "defrost", the time is 1 minute. This will be a test firing. To prevent the egg from warping, it is best to put it in a bowl of flour. Then, in the place of contact with the plane, no dents are formed on the egg.
After checking, you can make a putty: fill up the resulting irregularities and cracks with pieces of wet dough. If, nevertheless, swellings have formed, they can still be cut off with a knife or scissors in order to cover the place of "repair" with a wet mass.
Now you can "burn" the egg in the microwave oven in the usual way, but it is better to do it in several steps for 2 minutes, each time checking the result.
After "baking" the egg is painted with watercolors, acrylics or gouache. After drying, you can cover the product with ordinary colorless wood varnish or sprinkle with hairspray.
Modeling on the theme "Easter" involves the implementation of an egg stand. The stand is most conveniently done in three steps. A cup should be formed first. For her, the master can take a plastic cap from an air freshener or dichlorvos. First, it must be greased with oil: petroleum jelly, sunflower, margarine. Then you need to carefully stick it with a thin layer of rolled dough, smooth out the joints.
After distributing the dough in an even layer, you need to cut off the excess with scissors. The lid should protrude slightly above the dough. Along the edge of the "glass" it is allowed to make a "roller", you can decorate the stand with a bas-relief.
The "Cup" can now be placed in the oven upside down. After 1 minute of "baking" in the "defrost" mode, the part is removed from the cabinet, and the lid-breadboard can be easily removed.
The leg is rolled out of a small piece of dough, attached with a moistened end to the bottom of the cup, the place of attachment is smoothed with wet fingers. The part is again placed in the oven, which is switched on for "defrosting". The part should be placed upside down, "bake" for a minute.
For stability to the leg of the stand, attach a metal cover covered with dough. Do not forget to moisten the attachment point, and gently smooth the seams! It is better to dry the product for the first time upside down.
After the last baking (at normal temperature), the glass stand is painted with watercolors, gouache or acrylics and varnished.
This decoration can last as long as you like: a year, two or longer. But remember that this product is fragile and should not be dropped. And it is not recommended to wash an egg with a stand with water.
