Roses made from salted dough can be used to create panels, installations or decorate various interior items. To make them with your own hands, it is enough to imagine how this beautiful flower blooms.
It is necessary
- - wheat flour, half a glass;
- - finely ground salt, half a glass;
- - water or PVA glue, a couple of teaspoons;
- - a knife for cutting plasticine or an ordinary knife;
- - cling film.
Instructions
Step 1
Knead the dough to create roses. To do this, mix half a cup of fine salt with the same amount of flour. Choose regular, non-iodized salt and flour without additives, otherwise the dough may "rise", and the finished flower cracks. Add one to two teaspoons of water to the mixture, mix thoroughly. Keep in mind that the dough should be very tough. Add more water if necessary. You can use PVA glue instead. The dough, kneaded on its basis, has greater plasticity and is less prone to cracking during drying.
Step 2
Roll out the dough on a table covered with cling film or a plastic bag, this covering will allow you to easily "peel off" future flower details. The thickness of the dough should be no more than three mm, otherwise the flower petals will look bulky.
Step 3
Cut out the petals of the future rose with the tip of a knife; in shape, they should resemble the real parts of a flower. The optimal number of petals is 10-12, but if the dough is thick, then you can make a smaller amount. For the edges, make larger blanks, for the center - smaller.
Step 4
Take the petal in your hands and lightly press on its edges with your fingers so that they become thinner and, as it were, "come to naught." You can also give each petal an individual shape, irregularities, to make the bud look more natural.
Step 5
Start creating a rose from its center. Roll the petal into a tube, slightly open one of its edges. Wrap the next petal around the first, slightly bend outward. So repeat several times, when the center of the bud turns out to be quite voluminous, add the petals in such a way that they open more and more.
Step 6
Dry the rose at room temperature, periodically turning it on one side or the other. After that, place in the oven and fire at a temperature not exceeding 100 degrees with the door loosely closed.
