How to Dress Like a Ninja Using Only a T-Shirt

If Halloween rolls around and you realize you forgot to pick up a costume, don't worry. If you can get your hands on a black t-shirt, you have everything you need to be a ninja; except, of course, for agility, stealth and a mastery of martial arts. At least you'll have a pretty convincing ninja costume, though.

Instructions

1. Find a black t-shirt. The smaller the better, because it only has to go over your head, and not your entire torso. Also, make sure it is a crew neck rather than a V-neck.

2. Place the shirt over your head as though you were going to wear it regularly. Don't put your head through the neck of the shirt, though, and don't pull the shirt past your neck. You'll just wear it on your head.

3. Line up the neck of the shirt with your eyes.

4. Tie the sleeves of the shirt behind your head. This will pull the neck of the shirt tight across your eyes, leaving just a slit for you to peer through.

5. Adjust the neck of the shirt, which is now your eye slit, to cover as much of your face as possible. The idea is the leave only your eyes uncovered, while the rest of the shirt acts as a mask for your head and neck.

6. Act like a ninja. Sneak around. Practice your jump kicks. Just don't get too carried away. Having a convincing ninja costume does not give you any special ninja powers, as invincible and invisible as you may feel.
