How to make a tapa cloth

Sketching shells

Firstly, we had to sketch some shells with a pencil. We sketched  the outline
and the main lines on the inside of the shells. Then we chose the best one.

Transferring design

Secondly, we transferred the design onto cardboard. We went over the main lines with black vivid. We also added a border with different designs. I used diamonds and triangles.

Scrunching the cardboard

Next, we scrunched the cardboard about 30 times. When we had finished the paper felt like
smooth cloth.

Adding colour

Finally, we started adding colour to our tapa cloth. We used the black and the brown pastels. My Tapa cloth looked like soft cloth, and I was excited about how it looked.
