Simi's family is from Tonga and we were lucky enough for Simi to bring in a gorgeous piece of Tapa Cloth. So after observing, touching, lots of discussion on Simi's Tapa Cloth we decided as a class we would make our own class Tapa Cloth. We then watched a YouTube clip on making Tapa Cloth. Here is the link we used. Making Tapa Cloth.
How we made our own Tapa Cloth.
How we made our own Tapa Cloth.
- We used newsprint.
- We made coffee and soaked our newsprint in the coffee.
- We scrunched our paper up lots of times.
- We ironed our piece of paper.
- We added patterns and rubbings to our paper.
