How do you make a Tapa Cloth?


Creating the Design

Firstly, we had to sketch shells for a practice.Then we chose the best one to use. I thought my sketching was good.

Transferring Design

Secondly, we had to transfer the best shell to cardboard with pencil. When we had sketched the main design we added a border as well. Then we had to do the out line with black vivid.

Scrunching the cardboard

Next we had to scrunch the paper. We had to do it about 30 times. The paper felt smooth and soft, like a cloth when we had finished.

Adding Colour

Finally, I had  fun coloring in with brown and black pastels. Also we had to do it nice. I had fun doing the Tapa cloth.
