DIY Skeleton Print Shirt

I acknowledge I should have posted this earlier.
You will need:

  • Fabric paint. Any color you desire. (I mixed gray, sky blue and white.)
  • Needle (no sewing involved so don't get your knickers in a knot)
  • A painfully boring black tee/tank etc.
  • Cardboard or something sturdy.

I had a boring black spaghetti tank. Utterly boring and bland. It was Halloween Eve and so I decided to pimp it out. Since I'm not the best artist I printed out a skeleton stencil.

Above is the link to the stencil I used. If you can find a better one or another design your heart desires feel free to use it so.
With a craft blade I cut it out to make the stencil. Be careful. I almost cut my finger off while doing this. Clumsy me.
I secured the stencil over my shirt by pinning it with needles. That way it wouldn't budge.
*IMPORTANT NOTE* Place the cardboard or whatever you have that is sturdy (and wont let the paint run through the fabric staining the back) underneath the first layer of your shirt. so again...it won't stain the back.
Once this is done. Just paint away. Be free birdy!
Once you're finish painting away like a madwoman. Let it dry.
Once dry you can't slowly remove the stencil  and cardboard.

I did mess up a bit. I was going a little too crazy when painting. Toodles~
