My Tapa Cloth!

Today I made a Tapa cloth! A Tapa clothe is a Pacific Island Cloth.  This is how you make one:
You need:  A pencil, a vivid, thin brown paper, brown dye.
We started last week by sketching the bird's footprint (this made up most of our pattern).  We made a stencil to help trace this onto our brown paper.  Next we had to come up with other ideas to fill in the other squares.  I used a jelly fish and a butterfly.  You had to set your designs out like a chess board.  Once we had drawn everything onto the brown paper, we had to go over the outline in vivid.  Then you had to scrunch the paper up until it began to feel quite soft.  The last thing was dying the tapa cloth with brown dye.  They should be dry next week. We are going to put them up in the classroom.
