Salt dough dolls - original gift with your own hands for your mother, sister, lover and friends!

It seems to me that every woman at heart is a little girl who loves to play with dolls.

Only someone has forgotten about it, someone forbids themselves to think about it (because they are an adult), and someone still collects dolls and dolls or makes them with their own hands.

Therefore, if you want to give your mother, sister, wife, lover or friend an original gift for March 8, you can bake and decorate (or dress in beautiful dresses) all sorts of different dolls.

The gift will be unexpected and pleasant, because you will make it with your own hands and put your warmth and love into it.

Who can make dolls from salt dough

I think it's so simple and original surprise Even a child can cook by March 8th. Well, until the age of 10-12, you probably need to do this with adults, because you will have to use the oven.

And one more thing - not only a girl or a woman, but also a boy or a man can make and decorate dolls from salt dough. You know how to sculpt from plasticine, right? It's no more difficult.

What else can you make dolls from?

Using the same technology and templates, you can bake gingerbread dolls and decorate them with or or marzipan.

Examples of how to make figures from gingerbread dough, a dough recipe, and painting of finished gingerbread cookies can be found in the recipes:

(painted).

Technology for making dolls from salt dough

What you need to make salt dough crafts

for 7-8 dolls (2 baking sheets)

  • Flour – 2 cups;
  • Salt (finely ground) – 1 cup;
  • Water - a little less than a glass (add 3/4 cup and top up as needed). It took me almost 1 glass;

That is, the proportions for salt dough are: 2:1 (flour:salt), you can take 1:1, you can put even less salt. Greek housewives generally take 2 tablespoons of salt for 1 glass of flour. But I haven't tried that yet.

For ease of working with salt dough

Preferable, but not required

  • Baking paper (parchment) – 2 sheets (one sheet per baking sheet);
  • Stacks for plasticine (clean, washed) are plastic sticks. You can take a simple knife;
  • Rolling pin or clean glass bottle (roll out dough);

For doll dresses and face painting

  • Multi-colored napkins (preferably multi-layered, they don’t come apart, they’re stronger) or rags thin fabric(calico, for example). You can make dresses from pieces of felt, colored paper, lace and anything else you can get your hands on;
  • PVA glue;
  • Thin markers (you can use thin markers for writing on CDs, glass or other smooth surfaces);
  • Gouache or acrylic paint.

At the same time, if you are completely painting the doll, then paint (gouache + PVA glue or acrylic paints). The remaining materials are only needed if you are making clothes for a doll using appliqué technology.

How to make a doll from salt dough

Prepare salt dough

Mix flour and salt. Then add more than half a glass of water and knead the dough.

Gradually add water to the dough until the dough stops crumbling and becomes smooth and pliable. It should be comfortable to sculpt with, you will feel for yourself when it becomes suitable for sculpting.

At first the dough is crumbly and breaks down into crumbs. As water is added it becomes like plasticine or strong clay.

Make figures from salt dough

  • Break off a piece of dough and roll it out with a rolling pin. The thickness of the dough can be from 0.8 cm to 1 cm. I didn’t sprinkle anything on the table or rolling pin; this dough doesn’t stick to the board.
  • Using a stack or a knife, cut out doll figures from the dough. Iron the contours of the doll (external lines) with your finger to remove all irregularities.

The process of cutting out figures from dough


I made ladies in dresses, peasant women in sundresses and headscarves, and nesting dolls. And from the leftover dough I made a rose with leaves. The fewer small parts, the less likely it is that something will fall off or break.

Therefore, the doll’s neck should not be long and thin (like the waist or long arms, toys extending from the body), it is better to attach hair and strengthen the neck with it. Otherwise the doll will come out without a head (it will fall off while you are working with the figurine)).

The ideal figure of a woman is a doll, in this sense, it is a nesting doll. There are few details, the lines are smooth and rounded.

Doll in a skirt with an apron and vest

  • Transfer the figures to a baking tray lined with baking paper. I lifted the dolls with a plastic plate (separated them from the table) and, supporting them with my hand, transferred them to a baking sheet. You can use a cake spatula or a simple thin wooden spatula.

The dolls lie on baking paper, which is convenient. They do not stick to the baking sheet and do not burn

Bake salt dough dolls

  • Bake the dolls in the oven at a temperature of 160-170 degrees C until the dough dries. Readiness can be determined by touch - touch the dough with your finger. Just be careful, it might get hot. I kept the first baking sheet in the oven for about 20 minutes, the second longer.

Decorate the dolls (dress and draw a face)

How to make clothes for a doll from napkins or pieces of fabric

  • An underskirt will add fullness to the doll's main skirt or dress. If you are making the petticoat, glue it on first. And then glue the top one. I only coated the edges of the parts with glue so that the skirts would not stick to the toy, but would be fluffy.

I made this lace skirt from a paper napkin for pastry products.

This doll's clothes are made of napkins, there is a sequin on the belt, and the bracelet, beads, face and hair are drawn with a felt-tip pen (regular, but thin)

  • Places of connections (joints) different napkins(at the waist, for example), you can cover it with a strip of napkin or colored paper (there will be a belt).
  • It is convenient to draw various small details (eyes, lips, jewelry) with a thin felt-tip pen. You can also use sequins, rain (for the Christmas tree), beads, bugles, beautiful buttons, coins and any interesting little things that come to hand. They are easily glued with PVA glue.
  • A scarf for a flat doll is made like this: you need a rectangle with an oval cutout (for the face) and slits (so that the scarf does not cover the entire chest, but you don’t have to do it, it doesn’t matter). Then the excess edges are folded behind the back of the doll and glued there.

Now you need to tuck the ends and glue them (secure) at the back

Salt dough toy doll

Making clothes from napkins is the easiest and fastest way. This method is especially good if the doll is uneven. But you can also draw clothes on the doll.

How to paint a doll with paints

If you have acrylic paint, just paint what you want. If it’s gouache, so that the toy doesn’t get dirty later, you need to mix gouache and PVA glue (1:1 ratio).

Very small and delicate details can also be drawn with a felt-tip pen.

I painted a matryoshka doll.

Matryoshka is the most simple doll, it is convenient to cut it out of dough.

I will make the rest of the dolls later. Or I’ll give the blanks to girls I know so they can play with the dolls.

From the leftover dough I made a rose with leaves - it's very simple. Even a preschooler can do it.

How to make a doll neat

When you have glued all the clothes to the doll, you can cut out the silhouette of this doll from plain paper and seal the back of the doll with this paper. This way you will hide all the tails.

How to make a rose from dough

Roll out the dough (thinly). Cut out circles with a small glass. Lay out these circles so that the edge of one touches the other. (you will get a stripe). You can see more details (how to do it) in the story about it, there is even a video there.

This way you can make roses from dough, mastic, vegetables or fruits. Circles or flowers are laid out in one line, layering. You need 5-7 circles. And then they roll it into a tube.

And then roll everything up into a roll. This will make a rose. The petals can be slightly bent. And cut the leaves from the remaining dough with a knife.

Required material:


Cutting board, stack, marzipan cutter “leaf”, “flower”, “cloud”, “circle” diameter 7 cm, garlic press, rolling pin, pencil, brush, PVA glue, felt-tip pen cap.
For choux pastry: 1 cup premium flour, 0.5 cup Extra salt, 0.5 tablespoon citric acid, 0.5 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 cup water.
Recipe for salted choux pastry.

Combine salt and flour in a bowl, stir until smooth. Pour 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Add vegetable oil and citric acid to the water. Put it on fire. As soon as large bubbles begin to appear, pour the water in a small stream into the bowl of flour. The dough will brew and roll into a large lump. When the dough cools down a little, start kneading it for 5-7 minutes. You should have an elastic lump. Let the dough cool slightly and place it in a plastic bag. You can start working.

Work progress:


While working, glue all the elements of the choux pastry together with PVA glue.
Form several thin flagella. Apply glue to the board and glue the tree trunk, then the branches. Stack the veins along the tree trunk.


Place a small lump of dough into the garlic press and squeeze out thin flagella. Cut off several flagella in a stack and glue a nest to the top branch. Roll two balls and glue two eggs into the nest.


Glue a crow next to the nest. Form three leaves different sizes. The largest leaf is the crow's belly. The middle leaf is the head. The smallest wing. Glue the tail and eyes.


Glue the kitten to the bottom branch. The cat holds onto a branch with its front paws. Form a small ball and glue the head. The head lies on a branch. Glue eyes, antennae, ears. Glue the front legs next to the head. Since the kitten is hanging on a branch, it is completely invisible. A belly peeks out from under a branch. Glue a lump that looks like a voluminous drop. Make the hind legs a little larger.


Let's start sculpting the mother. Form a small cake oval shape. Make cuts along the sides. You'll get hands. Cut off the bottom edge of the oval, forming the length of the dress. Glue the feet and sandals. Place a small lump of dough into the garlic press and squeeze out short flagella. Glue the hair. Use a simple pencil to push in the eyes. Glue on a small nose.


Roll out a lump of dough with a rolling pin. Use a die cutter to cut out a circle. Cut the circle in half with the stack. Using a felt-tip pen cap, press the patterned bottom of the umbrella. Push the knitting needles in a stack. Glue the handle to the umbrella. Mom is holding an umbrella in her hand.


We sculpt the girl in the same way as the mother. Only the oval should be smaller.


Glue a small kitten near the girl. The kitten's belly looks like a leaf. Small tail. Make a head the same as that of a kitten hanging on a branch.


Glue a sun on the top of the board. Glue the sun rays only at the top. Glue the sun's nose. Clouds will cover the sun up to its nose.


Roll out the dough thinly. Use a die cutter to cut out two clouds. Glue the clouds so that the clouds cover half the sun. Up to the nose. Using a pen without paste, press out the sun's eyes. Form small flagella and glue the handles. The sun holds onto the clouds with his hands.


Form several small droplets and glue the rain.


Roll out a small ball of dough. Cut out the grass and glue it at the very bottom of the board. Make cuts along the grass with a stack.


Use a die cutter to cut out a few flowers and glue them onto the grass.


Roll out the dough thinly. Use a die cutter to cut out a few leaves and glue them to the tree. Glue a small caterpillar onto the tree trunk. The main work has been done. Leave the decorative board to air dry for 4-5 days and only then you can paint it with paints. After the dough and paint have completely dried, coat the board with a glossy varnish.
The gift for mom is ready.

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 salted dough should not stick to your hands or crumble. It should be cool and easy to sculpt. I recommend watching the video master class!

There are two most common ways to dry salt dough. The first method: the finished craft will dry on its own. The main thing is that it should not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise it will crack. The craft can be placed on a flat surface and wait a few days. Second method: dry the finished craft in the oven for 3 to 6 hours (depending on the size of the craft). Drying occurs in batches with breaks. One approach is 1-2 hours. For quick drying in one go, set the oven to 75-100 degrees, 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. First way: ready-made craft after drying, paint with acrylic paints or gouache using a brush. Second way: food coloring diluted in water, then added during dough preparation. When the craft is completely painted and dried, it must be coated with transparent manicure or furniture varnish in 2-3 layers. Each layer must dry before applying the next. This way the craft will last for a long time.

You will need: colored salt dough, stack, clear manicure polish, toothpick.

Craft for March 8th in kindergarten from plasticine and corrugated paper

Of course, a bouquet of tulips will be the most suitable gift on this day.


We will need:

  • plasticine (old one will do just fine);
  • glue stick;
  • scissors;
  • plastic spoons - 9 pieces;
  • disposable cup;
  • corrugated green paper;
  • red and white paper napkins.

Stages of work:

We form a large layer of plasticine and place it inside the glass. So that the bottom is completely covered.

Cut the napkin into two parts. As a result, we get two red two-layer squares. We coat one of them with glue. First along the edges, then in the middle. This must be done very carefully, otherwise the square will simply tear.

We place plastic spoon on a napkin, diagonally.



For a whole flower, you need to make three such petals.

Roll the plasticine into a small ball so that it can fit inside the spoon. If you use new plasticine, you will need about half a brick to make a ball.

Place a plasticine ball into one of the petals.


Thus we attach two more petals. We get one tulip. Don't forget to fix the bud near the beginning of the handle.


Now let's start making the flower stem. Cut out a small strip of corrugated paper and coat it with glue.


Wrap paper around spoon handles. We start from the place where we tied our bud.


The red tulip is ready. In this way we make two more flowers: red and white. Then we decorate them with leaves and insert them into a previously prepared glass vase.

The bouquet of tulips is ready. Here are a couple of similar ideas:



Making paper flowers for mom

A very easy bouquet of flowers. Little children will love making such a bright gift.


We will need:

  • ruler;
  • scissors;
  • paper glue;
  • simple pencil;
  • double-sided colored paper.

For grass we will take 2 green leaves. And for flowers - any tones you like.

Stages of work:

First, let's make the base. Fold the green sheet of paper in half. From the opposite edge of the paper fold, measure 6 cm and draw a line.



Carefully cut perpendicular strips. From the fold line to the place where we drew the very first stripe. We make another, exactly the same, blank.

So that the remaining lines of a simple pencil are not visible, we turn the sheets of paper over to the opposite side. Then we glue our blanks into one sheet.


Apply glue to one of the uncut edges. And we attach the second side to it. As a result, we get green grass. As we already remember, the pencil marks remained inside.


We twist the paper grass into a small flower bed. We glue the outer edge so that the structure does not turn back. Now we straighten it and make it more magnificent.


Let's start making flowers. You can simply cut them out. But if you want them to be the same size, make a template.


Draw a flower, cut it out and trace it according to the template. As a result, we get twelve flowers.


To ensure that the circle is even, take a cap of glue stick and trace it with a pen.

Now we cut out the centers and glue them to the flowers.

To decorate the bouquet we will make a bow. To do this, cut out four yellow stripes. One: 1.5 cm wide and 30 cm long. And three more: 1 cm wide and 15-20 cm long.

We coat the largest strip well with glue and glue it to the middle of the base of the flowerbed. This will be the ribbon of the future bow.


Take one of the remaining strips and coat its edges. Now we bend them towards the middle, slightly overlapping. We do this with two more stripes.


Next, we re-coat the middle of the bows and stick them on top of each other. As a result, we have a beautiful yellow bow. Glue it to the yellow strip. Finally, we glue the previously prepared flowers.

Here is another version of this craft, but with the addition of leaves.


DIY gift for March 8th for the second youngest group

Even the smallest children can make such a simple flower.


We will need:

  • cardboard toilet paper roll;
  • glue stick;
  • red cardboard flower;
  • two green pieces of paper;
  • green felt-tip pen;
  • scissors;
  • a strip of green paper (to wrap the sleeve).

Stages of work:

Let's start gluing the green strip. It should be slightly wider than the bushing itself. 1.5 cm on each side.

Coat the green paper with glue. We place the bushing on it and wrap it. Now we bend the paper on both sides, inside the sleeve.


Now we decorate the leaves. To do this, use a green felt-tip pen to draw veins on them. Then we bend each leaf about 1.5 cm.


Coat the bent corner with glue, with front side leaf, and attach to the green stem. We make a cut above the leaves, about 1 cm on each side.


Insert a red flower into the resulting cuts. If you get a little creative, you can get something like this: interesting options this craft.

Crafts made from salt dough for older children

And of course, don’t forget about crafts made from salt dough. Today we will make flowers like these. Even a child can make them.


We will need:

  • salt dough;
  • brush;
  • watercolor.

Stages of work:

First you need to prepare the dough. Mix: A glass of flour, half a glass of salt and half. glasses of water. Mix everything well. The dough should come out soft and pliable, but not stick to your hands.

For small children, modeling from salt dough is much easier than from plasticine. After all, you don’t have to knead it in your hands for a long time to warm it up.

Don't forget to put the dough in a bag so it doesn't dry out.

Now let's start making flowers.

Roll half the dough into a log and place it on a piece of cardboard. Now you need to flatten it into a layer.


Roll the second half into a sausage. Cut it into small pieces. Roll each into a ball.

We flatten the first three on a large layer. These are the future centers of flowers.

Before gluing all the parts, brush the dough with water.

Now we roll three elongated droplets. Attach to the main part, narrow side out. We draw veins on them. And in the middle of the flowers there are small holes. This will make the flowers look more realistic.


To make the patterns even, you need to sharpen the end of the brush.

Then we form flowers from the remaining balls. In the middle of each flower petal, make a couple of folds.


All that remains is to decorate our craft.


After that, dry it in the microwave or oven. At the lowest power, no more than five minutes. This will make the product more durable than when drying on radiators.

You can decorate your refrigerator with this gift if you attach a large magnet to the back.

How to make a 3D postcard for March 8

A good present for World Women's Day would be this 3D card.


We will need:

  • scissors;
  • black marker;
  • glue;
  • glitter;
  • double-sided cardboard in three colors: yellow, green and fuchsia.

Stages of work:

And cut out a square of yellow cardboard 15 by 15 cm. Bend it in half, then again. As a result, we get a smaller square.


Bend one half of the sheets into a triangle.


We do the same with the second one.


Using scissors, we round off one edge of the triangle and get a petal connected to the rest on both sides.


We unfold it in the form of a flower. In the middle, draw a small circle with a marker and paint it black. Then carefully cut off one of the petals.


We coat the edge of the petal with glue and glue the opposite one onto it. We get such a voluminous flower.


We coat the middle, near the black circle, with transparent glue and decorate with sparkles. Turn the flower over to remove excess glitter. We also make seven more flowers.

Now we bend them in half and glue three flowers together. The picture shows the places that need to be coated with glue.


Apply glue to the places that are also highlighted in orange.


Glue another flower.


We attach two more flowers. Places that need to be lubricated are also indicated.


We only have one yellow flower left. Glue it on top of the entire composition.



Finally, fold the fuchsia cardboard in half. Glue it inside, first one side of the composition, and then the other.


We unfold the card and we get a voluminous bouquet yellow flowers. Here's a postcard with a surprise.
