How to make a tapa cloth

Sketching Shells

Firstly, we got some paper and practiced sketching different shells. We drew just the main outlines and of the shells. There were lots of different shells to sketch.

Transfer design

Secondly, we had to transfer our best shell sketch onto cardboard. It was cool doing it.
The colour of my card was brown. We also had to sketch a border with a design.

Scrunching the cardboard

Next, we had to scrunch our card to make it look and feel like a real tapa cloth.
I was having fun. We had to scrunch it about 30 times until it was ready.


Adding colour

Finally, we added some colour to our tapa cloth. I got black and brown pastels to put on my design.I used black vivid for my outlines and the inside.
