Join our creative idea, today we are making a rowan brush from salt dough.

To make salt dough crafts you will need:

• Salty dough
• Stack
• Cardboard
• Watercolor
• Brush + water

Step 1. Making salt dough for the craft.

Step 2. We sculpt a rowan brush. To do this, we ask the child to pinch off a piece of salted dough and first form a thick twig, and then several thin ones, to which the rowan berries will be attached.

We sculpt rowan branches onto thick cardboard. Why thick cardboard? This cardboard is convenient if you need to move the craft; it does not deform from the moisture of the salt dough.

Step 3. Make rowan berries. To do this, the child plucks off the dough, forms balls of the same size and molds them to the brush he has made.

Step 4. We sculpt the leaves: first we form a ball, then we turn it into an oval and flatten it, sharpening one end. Using a stack, we make notches on the leaves that resemble the pattern of a leaf.

We sculpt each leaf onto a branch, which was molded in advance and stuck to a cardboard base.

Step 5. Paint the rowan brush with paints. You can paint with any paints: gouache, watercolor. The cardboard base can also be given color.

Step 6. Dry the salt dough craft and place it in a visible place

Explanatory note One of the most popular types of arts and crafts is modeling. Today, a material such as salt dough is becoming increasingly popular in our country, successfully competing with traditional materials - clay and plasticine. Many people are attracted to working with it not so much by its availability and relative cheapness, but by the limitless possibilities that this material provides for creativity. Products made from this material, unlike plasticine, are durable and do not require expensive firing processing like clay products. In addition, salt dough in many respects (primarily technical and, of course, environmental) is superior to polymer clay, popular abroad, which appeared on the shelves of our stores quite a long time ago. This manual has an artistic orientation. Its implementation allows not only to satisfy the established needs of the population, but also to create conditions for the development of the child’s personality, ensure his emotional well-being, introduce him to universal human values, create conditions for creative self-realization, teach tolerant behavior, respect and tolerance.

Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) Rowan is light-loving, grows and bears fruit well in conditions of sufficient lighting. Loves fertile, moisture-absorbing and breathable soil. It is moisture-loving, but in conditions of excess humidity, weak growth and even death of plants is observed. One of the most winter-hardy fruit crops. Diseases and pests of rowan: rowan rust, leaf spot, fruit rot, powdery mildew, anthracnose; rowan moth, rowan gall mite, green apple aphid, rowan aphid, red-winged weevil. Rowan was once considered a symbol of fertility, well-being and prosperity. The Slavs called the rowan a sacred tree and were sure that it was in its openwork crown that lightning was hidden (which is not surprising; lightning is “chosen” by tall rowan trees growing in open space). And this tree has always been loved for its bright, but at the same time somewhat shy beauty.

But the main thing is that this tree is almost always decorative: in spring it pleases with abundant flowering, in summer with carved foliage, in autumn with orange-red fruits, and in winter with bright clusters against a background of snow. The generic designation for rowan comes from the Celtic word sor, which means tart, and the specific name - aucuparia - is translated from Latin as “catching birds”. It is possible that rowan was used as bait when catching birds with nets. Solid, dense mountain ash wood has long been used in the manufacture of carriages, wooden parts of mill equipment, and agricultural implements. It was used to make hoops for barrels and parts of a spear for bear hunting. The bark was indispensable for tanning hides and dressing leather. The berries were added to pet food.

Varieties of rowan fruit Scarlet large One of the most valuable varieties of this crop. For hybridization, a mixture of pollen from different pear species was used. Its fruits are very large (over 4 g), scarlet-red, reminiscent of cherries, juicy, with a slight tartness, but without bitterness. The variety is fast-growing, universal. The harvest from one mature tree reaches 150 kg. Bead Bears fruit in the 4-5th year after planting. Ruby-red fruits ripen on a low tree and taste like cranberries. The variety is winter-hardy and disease resistant. The harvests are stable. Vefed Obtained from Nevezhinskaya rowan. The low tree bears fruit consistently. The fruits are orange-pink, shiny, weighing up to 1.3 g. The variety is characterized by high winter hardiness. Pomegranate Hybrid of mountain ash and large-fruited hawthorn. The height of the tree is 3-4 m. The fruits are the size of cherries. The taste is sweet and sour, without bitterness. Winter hardiness and productivity are high. Fruits from the age of three.

DIY autumn rowan from salted dough. Master class with step-by-step photos

Master class Series of wall panels “Autumn Rowan” using salt dough modeling technique

Nazarova Tatyana Nikolaevna teacher of additional education at the House of Childhood and Youth in Millerovo
The master class is intended for additional education teachers, technology teachers, and high school students.
Purpose: The series of panels “Autumn Rowan” can be used as interior decoration or a gift.
Target: make a series of wall panels “Autumn Rowan”
Tasks:
-introduce the technique of sculpting a three-dimensional panel on a color template;
- instill a love of working with salt dough;
Progress:

Rowan is a symbol of family happiness. Previously, during weddings, rowan berries were decorated with tables and sprinkled on the newlyweds. It is believed that dried branches and bright, elegant bunches are excellent decorations for the bedroom. You can decorate the interior of a room in different ways. I propose to make a series of wall panels “Autumn Rowan” with your own hands using the salt dough modeling technique.
To work we need:

3 A4 photo frames, printed templates (background) panels on a color photo printer, “Dragon” glue, stack, glue brush, watercolor paints, PVA glue, starch, “Cloves” seasoning (seeds);
For salt dough - “Extra” salt, flour, water, food colors – red, yellow, green;
For snow potato starch, “Extra” salt, water;
Salt dough recipe
0.5 tbsp. “Extra” salt, 0.5 tbsp. cold water, 1 tbsp flour (no additives).
Pour salt + cold water + flour into a deep bowl. Knead elastic dough. Add water if necessary. Store the finished dough in a plastic bag while working.
Colored salt dough recipe : Knead the dough in the same way, only add food coloring during kneading.
To make a green dough, add green food coloring.
To make an orange dough, add red and yellow dye at the tip of a teaspoon while kneading. You will get an orange dough.
Panel templates:

PANNO No. 1 “Rowan in September”

Let's start working with a panel, which we'll call "Rowan in September." At the very beginning of autumn, the rowan leaves are still bright green in places, but the berries are not ripe, so they are yellow or orange.
I took a walk in the park
I found out where the dawn is growing.
She looked up and she
It became visible to me immediately!
The berries burn brightly,
They are looking at me!
What a wonderful picture? -
This tree is a rowan!

In the photo frame we take out the glass (we won’t need it) and cardboard. Apply Titan glue to the cardboard and glue an illustration with a rowan printed on a color printer. Let it dry for a few minutes and put it back into the frame.

This is what you should get.

We will make the panel “Rowan in September” using the modeling technique from colored salt dough. The predominant colors in the illustration are green and orange, so we will need green and orange dough.

When making a wall panel, our task is to repeat the drawing of a color illustration as much as possible, making it three-dimensional. The printed illustration is both a ready-made background for the panel and a hint for further work. Of course, you can show your imagination and add some elements. First, let's start sculpting bunches of rowan berries. Spread several rowan berries on the panel with PVA glue. Roll out large “beads” from the orange dough and place them on the glue.

Insert a carnation into each rowan bead, pressing it in slightly. If the carnations have long tails, make them shorter. Cut them with scissors.

Thus, we make molds on the entire bunch of rowan, trying to repeat the contour of the design as much as possible.

Let's start working with green dough. Making rowan leaves. Our illustration is printed in close-up, so the rowan berries and leaves are large. Take a lump of green dough the size of a large cherry and roll it into a small “zucchini”.

Roll out the “zucchini” into a thin, oblong “cake”

Using a stack, make notches on the leaf. The leaf is ready.

In the same way as the rowan berries were glued, we glue the leaves. Apply glue to the template, and then apply a leaf. And so on throughout the branch.

It should look like this. The panel turns out to be quite heavy, because we made large overlays. Now you need to dry it well. It will take about a week to dry.

The dough has dried well. To make the panel brighter and more expressive, we will slightly tint the veins on the leaves with bright green paint. We tint the rowan branches with brown paint. They will become more expressive. Let it dry for a few more hours, and then open the finished panel with clear acrylic varnish. After treatment with varnish, the colored salt dough becomes much brighter and stronger.
The panel “Rowan in September” is ready.

PANNO No. 2 “Rowan in October”

October has arrived. Rowan leaves acquire an amazing yellow, crimson hue. The berries become bright orange and even red. Let's call the next panel “Rowan in October”
October! Autumn is mature
Outside the windows of houses,
A ripe rowan hangs,
Beautiful, no words.
It's green and red,
All in the morning dew,
Happy and clear
Everyone envy her.
Autumn beauty,
She is not afraid of frost,
It's worth overflowing,
With the purple of your braids.

Let's do the same as with the previous panel. We insert a color illustration into the photo frame. But now I suggest working with regular, white dough, although children love to work with colored dough. With the help of a brush and paints we will make our panel truly bright, autumn-like. Let's collect all the colors of autumn in one panel.

Using a technique already familiar to us, we sculpt leaves. We will apply only the yellowed leaves. We leave the green ones without any adhesion. Start gluing from the top, slightly overlapping the leaf on the frame. This technique gives additional volume to the panel. Be sure to lightly grease the junction of the dough with the frame with glue. After gluing the leaf, bend it slightly with a stack. It's like the leaves are moving in the wind. Working with this panel, we show our imagination and improvise. We no longer try to repeat the drawing exactly.

We make moldings in the form of small berry beads on the rowan brush. Lubricate the rowan brush along the contour with PVA glue and place the berries. Use a small Phillips screwdriver or a simple pencil to make dimples on each berry.

We continue to make leaf molds. The breeze is blowing and the leaves are moving in the wind. Stack them up.

This is the panel we came up with. Now it needs to be dried well (7-8 days)
The dough has dried, and feel free to start coloring.

Nalepki - we will paint the leaves yellow, but the veins on the leaves will be brown, adding a little red tint. Use brown to draw a branch on which a bunch of rowan berries hangs directly according to the template. It will become brighter.
Thus, we used the color illustration as a color template, a hint for creativity. Some things were changed, some things remained the same. The paint has dried. Cover the panel with clear acrylic varnish.
The panel “Rowan in October” is ready.

PANNO No. 3 “Rowan in November”

The last month of autumn has arrived - November. The leaves on the rowan tree have fallen off, but it is decorated with gorgeous clusters of heavy shiny berries. Sometimes the first snow falls, covering the berries. Rowan becomes magically beautiful. Let's call our panel “Rowan in November”
What kind of berry is that turning red?
When it's already cool
And autumn rushes at full speed,
Sweeping leaves from yards?
She is still bitter and knitting...
But only snow will fall on the ground,
The frost will not hit you lightly
And the river will be covered with ice:
It already tastes different...
And the birds, as if understanding,
Frozen pellets peck
In winter, reddened mountain ash.

We are preparing a photo frame with a color template for work (as in the previous work). Let's work with colored salt dough again. Since it is already late autumn, the berries are ripe, we will sculpt them from red colored dough.

Using a technique already familiar to us, we glue small berries from red salted dough to a template base. Thus, we repeat the drawing, only we make it three-dimensional. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to press crosses into each berry.

Just as we did in the previous panel with leaves, we glue the rowan berries, slightly touching the edges of the photo frame. It seems that rowan berries are about to fall into your hands. Be sure to lightly coat the frame with glue, and then glue the berries.

Glue more berries onto the frame.

We make moldings - berries all over the panel. Now you need to let the dough dry. You need to air dry for about 7-8 days, in a dry, ventilated place.

The dough has dried, we continue to work on the panel. Just as we did with the previous panel, use brown paint to paint rowan branches across the panel. They will become brighter and more expressive. Using a thin brush, place brown dots in the middle of each berry.
Let's get to the most interesting part of working with the panels. We need snow. Making “snow”
Recipe for "snow"
Pour 2 tablespoons of water + 1 teaspoon (level) potato starch into a small saucepan. Stir and place over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the jelly becomes transparent, remove the saucepan from the heat and add 1 cup of “Extra” salt. Stir constantly. The mixture turns out crumbly, similar to wet snow. Let's start working with “Snow” right away.
