You need to enable your iPhone as a wireless hotspot "Settings -> Personal Hotspot" and then connect the iPad to it via WiFi like any other hotspot.

Assuming you're provisioned by your phone carrier to use hotspot.

Are you trying to connect them in order to transfer files? If so, that's not an option with iOS devices.
