- Part of the test rolls into a ball, and then on the dough we roll a flat cake with a 0.7 cm thick roll.
- Choose a picture of a horse and cut out the paper from its template. It is better to take as a sample a streamlined horse.
- We put the pattern on the dough, carefully cut out, remove the excess and leave the figure on the ditch.
- With a toothpick or stacks for plasticine, carefully place the relief pattern on the horse: mane, tail, hooves, eyes, nostrils, ears, saddle.
- We place a ditch with a horse to dry on the windowsill. After 15 hours, when the product has dried a little, turn it over and apply PVA glue on the reverse side. After that the craft is dry for two more days. If the thickness of the product - 1 cm, then you need to dry for at least 5 days. It is also possible to dry the products from the salted dough in the oven at a temperature of 80 ° C for an hour or more (depending on the thickness).
- For coloring we take acrylic colors or gouache and a thin brush. We will draw a gray-colored horse in apples.
- Paint the background (gray), then go through the white paint along the relief lines and draw the hooves, spots. We collect on a dry brush a little white paint and we put a light haze, giving expressiveness to a product.
- When the paint dries, cover the product with a colorless varnish and glue to the back of the craft with a super-glue magnet.
