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 shell. We drew the main lines first then we did the lines on the top of the shell last.


Transferring to cardboard

Secondly, we transferred our best design to cardboard. We went over it with black vivid and added a border.

 Scrunching the cardboard

Next we had to scrunch the cardboard about 30 times. The cardboard got soft like cloth.  If it was not done Mr Craig would say go and do it some more, then you can add colour.

Colouring in
Finally, we coloured it in brown and black. You could colour in the boarder.  We used colour pastels.  When we had finished we went to the teacher.  He would go and put
it in this paper,  then you are done. We tried not to smudge the pastels, otherwise it would look untidy.
