How a Tapa Cloth is made

Sketching shells

Firstly, we had to sketch some shells with a pencil. We sketched the main lines on the inside of the shell. We did it carefully.


Transferring Design

Secondly, we had to transfer the shell that we drew before onto a piece of cardboard. We had to draw the best design onto a piece of cardboards, as well as a border. Then we went over it with black vivid.  

Scrunching the cardboard

Next, we scrunched the cardboard until it was soft and all wrinkly. But not too wrinkly. We had to do it about 30 times.    


Adding colour

Finally, we added colour. The colours were brown, black and white pastel. Then we stuck them all together to make a big tapa cloth.
