How to Make a Tapa Cloth

                                                                                                                             
Sketching Shells
Firstly,we had to sketch little or big shells with pencil.Then we sketched the outlines, followed by the inside of the shells. Some had a lot of lines.

Transferring Design

Secondly,after sketching the shells we chose one to go on our Tapa cloth. We did the pattern for the border. I used Samoan and New Zealand patterns for my border. Then we went over the sketch with black vivid.

Scrunching  it up

Next,we scrunched our tapa cloth 30 times.We textured our tapa cloth so it was soft.Then after that it looked like a real tapa cloth.

Add colour

Finally,we started to add some of colours. But we could only use black and brown.That is so it would look like a real tapa cloth. I was very pleased with my Tapa cloth, it looked great!
