Decorative panels for the kitchen made of salted dough can be of absolutely any size, shape and color scheme. The only requirement is that the theme of the decoration being created must correspond to the general style of the kitchen space and the given interior. For example, images of the sea, the beach or a person washing in a bath will not be entirely appropriate in the kitchen.

All manipulations are carried out the same as when modeling with plasticine. Large compositions are made using a stencil by cutting and extrusion.

Roll out the dough about half a centimeter thick, put a stencil on it, for example, made of thick cardboard, and cut out the future part of the composition. Here you should be extremely careful and careful, since the cardboard can stick to the salt dough, we recommend not to press too much on it.
