How to complete this tutorial step by step?

Etape par étape

The materials:

Step 1: Roll out the dough

Flatten a piece of air-drying dough with a roller to obtain a nicely even slab about 5 mm thick.

Step 2: Trace the Pattern

Using a stencil (here, a fox), draw the shape on the dough. Then carefully cut out the outline with a precision knife.

Step 3: Smooth the Shape

Moisten your fingers slightly and run them along the edges of the shape to smooth and soften the contours.

Step 4: Customize

Use the alphabet stencil to print a name in the dough. Don't forget to drill a small hole at the top so you can hang the plaque.

Step 5: Paint and Decorate

Once the dough is dry, paint your design with opaque paint. Play with colors to bring the character to life.

Step 6: Finalize the Plaque

Once the paint is dry, thread a sturdy string through the hole. Your custom door plaque is ready to be hung! The sturdy string features a wire inside that makes it particularly flexible.

Tip: Add a varnish to protect your creation
