Fakakaloa Aotearoa 'aki 'a e faiva 'a e Tonga – Enriching Aotearoa with Tongan arts.

Last week we celebrated Tongan Language week.  We made our own Tapa cloth. 

1. We scrunched up plain A4 paper until it was soft.  
2. Then we used a sketching pencil to draw on our patterns (we only chose 2 patterns).  
3. When we were ready, we used a cotton bud to trace over our patterns with brown Indian ink.
4. To finish our Tapa, we used a cloth to wipe brown dye across them.
