Christmas tree made from salt dough

Crafts In the form of a Christmas tree, many of us make it before the New Year holidays. For this, a variety of materials are used, such as: beads, plastic, plasticine, clay, paper, cardboard, rubber bands. Such homemade souvenirs are the best present for our family and friends.
In my master class I will explain how to make a small Christmas tree from salt dough. For greater clarity, I took step-by-step photographs and wrote a detailed description for them.
