Vase from plasticine and grains with own hands: photo-instruction
Bouquets of autumn flowers - farewell riot of colorsleaving summer. Which of us refuses to decorate your house with flowers? "It's unlikely there will be such a person." Within the cycle of articles about hand-made natural materials, we offer you creative work on creating a vase for autumn bouquets of plasticine (we went further and used our own cooked dough for modeling), with a decor of grains, macaroni and any other improvised material.
The work is simple and safe in execution, itseven a child will be happy to create and decorate. The whole process will take no more than ten minutes. For greater clarity, the instruction is accompanied by photographs.
Necessary materials:
- 1 cup of flour;
- ¼ cup of salt;
- Two teaspoons of a tartar (CreamofTatrar);
- A teaspoon of vegetable oil;
- Food coloring of the desired color;
- Glass bottle with a wide neck;
- Cereals, grains, pasta or other material for decoration.
Instruction:
1. Combine the flour, salt, tartar, food color and vegetable oil, pour a glass of water, stir well and put on a weak fire. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mass thickens. Cool a little. Add more flour, take the mass out of the pan and knead until the texture of the dough for molding begins to resemble a soft clay.
2. Spread the glass bottle with the text received from top to bottom. The dough layer should be thick enough for the decor elements to be fixed in it. You can fold the remaining dough into a plastic bag and store it in a cool place for about a month, using as needed for new crafts.
3. Let's return to the vase. While the layer of the dough applied to the bottle is not dry, decorate it with an ornament, a picture or an abstract pattern from cereals, beans, tubes of pasta, pumpkin or watermelon seeds and other materials according to your desire. Wait for the craft to dry. The vase is ready!

If a child participated in the creation of the vase, it can be used by him as a wonderful presentation made by his own hands, to grandparents for the Autumn day, Teacher's day or simply as a gift without any reason!
