Some types of flour are stiff, so if necessary, the amount of water may increase.

Roll out the dough until its thickness is 4-5 mm. After this, we select a suitable recess for it. On the eve of the New Year holidays in many stores they sell molds in the form of Christmas trees, snowmen, toys and other thematic figures. By purchasing at least one of them, each next holiday you can make crafts from salt dough.

Prepare all the list

To begin with, we prepare a sock: we cut it into two parts so that one of them has a top, a heel and a few centimeters of the foot. It is important that the sock was clean, snow-white, because if you take the old, well-worn, then the snowman will turn out to be appropriate. We fasten the end of the sock along which the cutting line passes, separating a small amount of fabric from above.
