How to Cut a Skull Into a Tshirt

Skull cut-outs look great on any colored T-shirt.

T-shirts are a staple in many peoples' wardrobes because they're so comfortable and versatile. They can be dressed up or down, and with just a few scissor cuts, they can be transformed into something interesting and special. One easy customization you can make using scissors is a skull cut-out. This cut-out design gives an edgy look to any T-shirt.

Things You'll Need

• T-shirt
• Tailor's chalk
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Determine whether you want to cut the skull design into the front or back of your T-shirt and lay the shirt flat with that side facing up.

2. Draw two large egg shapes on your T-shirt a few inches under the shirt's neckline. These will be the skull's eyes.

3. Cut two smaller, thinner egg shapes in the middle of the shirt, below the eyes for the skull's nose. Their tips should point toward each other, with the rounded bottoms pointing away from each other, so they almost form a triangle.

4. Cut small rounded rectangles into the shirt below the nose for the teeth. Line the first tooth up with the outer edge of the left eye hole and line the last tooth up with the outer edge of the right eye hole. Cut the teeth in a straight line for a serious face, or curve them downward to create a smiling skull face.
