Tapa for My Tiki Bar - General Tiki

In elementary school, we used to have to make "tapa cloth" on the cheap for decorating the may day celebrations. Here's what you need: brown paper bags, sponges, and watered down brown paint. Prepare the paper bags by crumpling them into balls, stomping on them, rubbing them against themselves over and over and over again, until the bag is soft. You can cut the sponges into the designs you want on your tapa if you want a repeating block print effect, or you can use a brush if you are masochistic. Or you can buy unpainted tapa here: http://www.papergoods.com/TapaCloth.html
