How to mold a star from dough: step by step MK
As you understand, the main components of the future crafts are dough and a paper star template. Therefore, we will not postpone and knead the salt dough from the following components.
- Flour - 0.5 stack;
- Salt - 0.25 stack; (for the test it is desirable to use fine salt, such as "Extra")
- Sunflower oil - 1 tsp;
- Water - optional;
- Thread and bead.
The easiest recipe for making salt dough for crafts
Mix flour with salt, add sunflower oil and water. You need enough water so that the dough after kneading does not stick to your hands and does not crumble. Try adding 2 tables first. spoons, and then orient yourself with the need to increase its quantity.
We roll out the dough with a thickness of 0.5 cm. Cut out the star pattern and proceed to the main steps of our master class. That is, we put a paper star on top of the dough and ...
... carefully cut out the toy blank with a stack or an ordinary kitchen knife.
Now on one side of the asterisk we make an incision in the same way as in the photo.
And we thread a thread with a bead or any other element inside it.
Carefully pinch the thread with toast.
Align the edges of the craft, rubbing the roughness with fingers dipped in water.
And put the product to dry in the oven for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, after sprinkling the baking sheet with flour.
You can verify that the star has baked by tapping it on the table. Having heard at the same time a rather sonorous sound ...
Before drying, the product can be cut. giving the star a unique pattern. After drying, it remains only to paint the Christmas tree toy with gouache, spray paint, or any other paint intended for this.
We spray painted our star with silver spray paint. As a result, such a work turned out.
And this is how the star looks on an artificial Christmas tree made of paper.
But on a large live Christmas tree, it will look even more delightful and beautiful.

Master class from the needlewoman Lyuba-master
Fish, size 23x20 cm.
The composition of the dough is 2 parts by volume of flour, I use Makfa, 1 or less part of finely ground salt. cold water with the addition of PVA, about 1 tablespoon per glass of water / I add PVA to calm the soul, in the hope that the product will be stronger, although this is very doubtful / and a little vegetable oil / tea-tablespoon, I added 1 to this fish in the dough st.l.
I prepared a saucer, with the top of the dough I leveled the surface so that on the print with reverse side the bottom was not printed, and the surface was more rounded. 
Sprinkle the dough on the side of the saucer generously with flour so that it does not stick.
We form the details-tail, fins, mouth. If there is not enough dough on the plate, then, of course, we add more, as a rule, this concerns the tail. 
They outlined the face, made a cut in the mouth with a stack. We make fins. 
This is how I make out the fins - I cut out the teeth with a nail pad. 
Raise your lips to make the fish smile... 
Let's draw a picture... 
Gently lift large scales ... 
Again I use a nail pad for the design of small scales. 
This is how we create a relief by pressing down the scales on the base 
We make an openwork with a cap of a ballpoint pen. 
The fish is ready.
I dry in a gas oven with the door ajar until completely dry. Drying temperature is about 100 degrees. When the fish dries a little, remove the saucer.
Yes, do not forget to make holes so that the fish can be hung. 
The dots were made with a toothpick. 
From the rest of the dough, another magnet fish was obtained.

The word itself "star" is incorrect, as these creatures are not actually fish. Sea stars are echinoderms. There are many various kinds starfish, in fact, there are about two thousand of them. They inhabit every ocean in the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, as well as the Arctic and Southern Oceans, although the maximum diversity of starfish is observed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Although they also live in shallow water, they will never live in freshwater bodies. These invertebrate predators can live for thirty-five long years!
You already, my friend, of course,
Heard something about me
I am always five-pointed
And I live at the bottom.
Want to know some more Interesting Facts about starfish? If yes, I invite you to meet:
- One of the amazing facts about the starfish is that these creatures have no brains! Like, in keeping with the anatomy of a star, they lack a proper central nervous system and instead have nerves that lie within and below their skin.
- Starfish don't have centrally located eyes per se, but instead have eyes on the tips of their arms that can allow it to see light and dark, but not very clearly.
These were just a few amazing facts about starfish, in fact there are many more. These sea creatures, despite their huge popularity and diversity of species, are endangered due to pollution. environment especially due to oil spills. The culprit, of course, of all this is a person. Therefore, the Master class will make its contribution, and we will admire the marine inhabitants without destroying them, making them with our own hands. It is necessary for all of us to try at least in this way to prolong the life of our five-pointed friends in order to admire their grace and beauty.
