Custom Glitter Text

Hi,

This morning I  carried on with the Tapa Cloth that I started from last week. I finished scrunching it up to make it nice and soft like a cloth. Then once it was soft I dyed it with brown dye.  On my Tapa Cloth there is a bird print and a turtle! To make a cloth you need:

Some paper
A vivid
A pencil
A rubber (If needed)
And some brown dye.

To make a cloth you  need to decide on what pattern you like. But your pattern has to be a chess pattern, so if you don't understand it means one turtle, then a flower then a turtle then a flower and so on. After that you fold your paper in squares then unfold it. Once you complete that you then draw on your pattern. Next, go over it with vivid. After you finish that, scrunch it up until it becomes like cloth. (I know it sounds impossible but it works!) Finally, dye it with brown dye. Leave it to dry and it will look perfect!!


It is really fun but it hurts your hands. For your pattern try and do something pacifica like turtles, flowers, butterflies or shells. Tapa cloths come from Samoa!!

 That is mine! It has not dried yet!


Hear from you later Madison:)

  1. Wow Madison your Tapa cloth looks amazing. I know you explained the process and home but I had no idea it would look so great. Can't wait to see the finished product. Your blog is fantastic - love the glitter text.
