Spanish Tile Project

We have had a request for a how-to/tutorial on the Spanish tile project seen here. 

 Here is a quick how to. Thanks Ella!

Start with a square piece of paper (we went with 6X6)

Fold paper edge to edge, or corner to corner  creating an X or a cross in the middel of your paper 

(different folds give you slightly different looks)

Begin by drawing a simple shape in the triangle created by your folds on the top of your square . 

(If you folded edge to edge and your folds create a cross in the middle   then you will turn the square so its corners face towards you and away from you. Your folds will create a diamond shape to draw in.)   

Turn/rotate the paper and draw the same shape in the next triangle created by your folds.

Continue this process always drawing on the top of your design and rotating. 

I supplied my kids with handouts that had a bunch different Spanish Tile designs they could use to inform what shapes they wanted to draw.
