List of tools and materials for making a dough brownie

1. Salty dough.
2. Paints.
3. Tassels.

Additionally, an oven is required.

Ingredients for the dough:

• two glasses of flour;
• a glass of finely ground salt;
• 180 grams of water.

Master class: brownie from the test

Make the salt dough. To do this, mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead them thoroughly.

Now start sculpting from the dough. This is the same as sculpting from plasticine. Take a small board and place work on it. You can make a house figure both flat and three-dimensional.

Do each detail separately, gradually connecting them together, as the salty dough can have time to dry.

First fashion your head, make eyes, nose and mouth. Then form the torso. After that, make a couple of pens and legs. Attach the limbs and head to the torso. Give the whole figure a shape. For example, highlight the cheeks and eyebrows on the face, fingers on the hands. Also do not forget to make a silhouette of clothes and hair on the head. In general, feel like a sculptor.

After you have made a figure, it needs to dry. To do this, place it on a baking sheet and place it in the oven. Dry the figure for about an hour at a temperature of 80 degrees. Drying can be arranged on a battery, but this process will last much longer.

When the figurine has dried thoroughly, let it cool. After that, proceed to decorate the house. Then show your imagination.

The dummy is ready!

Tip: for needlework, choose bright colors of fabric, threads, dyes and decorations. So do-it-yourself housekeepers will be much more interesting.
