Skeleton Shirt

I loved this easy, halloween DIY shirt idea. I got the idea from Martha Stewart's website, although the way I executed this craft (due to the materials I had) was a little bit different. I also only did front ribs on my t-shirts.

Materials:
-shirt (any color will do)
-fabric scissors
-ribs stencil (http://www.marthastewart.com/265451/rib-cage-t-shirt )
-fabric marker or pen
-Scotch tape

1. Print the stencil from Martha Stewart's website. Cut out each rib to make the stencil. You will also need to trim the first page on the solid line, match it to the dotted line on the second page and tape it.

2. Lay the shirt flat on a hard surface. Because I was working with a V-neck shirt, it was really easy to find the middle. Line the front ribs stencil up so that the solid black line on the right hand side corresponds with the bottom of the V-neck.

3. Trace each rib with a fabric pen or marker.

4. Flip the stencil over to the other side. Line the stencil up so that the solid black line on the right hand side corresponds with the bottom of the V-neck.

5. Trace each rib with a fabric pen or marker.

6. Carefully cut out each rib with fabric scissors. Make sure not to cut through the back of the shirt! Also, depending on how stiff the fabric is will determine how big the ribs stretch. A stiffer, thicker shirt will allow tighter ribs. This fabric was kinda stretchy.

No bones about it, this turned out AWESOME! Can't wait to wear it!
