Children's figurines from mastic with their own hands - a master class for beginners

This element of the cake decor as a train is suitable for both boys and girls and it is fairly simple to perform, so even beginners will be able to cook.

To begin with, we will roll out a thick sausage from green mastic, then we will give it a shape of a bar with any helpable object and make one edge slightly sloping. This will be the basis of the locomotive.

Now skate the two same sausages, but shorter, one flattened from the ends, so that the edges are flat, wet the top of the base with water and attach it closer to the chamfered edge. The second short sausage is shaped like a thick brick.

We fix the "brick" from the other side of the base, in the same way, only in an upright position, this will be the cabin.

From blue mastic we carve rectangular windows and wheels. We need 2 windows, 2 large wheels and a few small ones, depending on how many cars there are. The number of cars can be equal to the number of years of the birthday. We attach on the sides of the window and wheels (2 large and 4 small).

Also we need a rectangle for the roof. We bend it with a boat and attach it to the highest part of the train.

Another plate in the form of a trapezoid will go to the front, only preliminary it is necessary to make cross strips on it.

Wheels are moistened with water and attached to the sides.

For the pipe we roll up a very small sausage. One side of the pipe is flattened with a finger, a little falling inwards, we get a small indentation, another roll of a small ball.

The pipe will be installed closer to the front edge of the engine, and the ball is closer to the cockpit. The carriages are quite simple: they are "bukhanochki" the size of a half of the locomotive with four wheels. If you have so many cars, how many years of birthday in them you can install candles for a cake.
