How to Draw Bones on a Black T-Shirt
Putting your own designs on T-shirts can be a fun and fairly simple hobby. However, if you wanted to draw some white bones on a black T-shirt you would have to do that differently than putting a design on a white T-shirt. If you are hoping to draw some bones on a black T-shirt you will need to take a different approach in order to ensure that the bones show up on the black T-shirt.

1
Draw the bones on paper. You should draw the bones that you want to put onto the black T-shirt on paper first with a pen or pencil. This way if you mess up it will be on the paper and not on the T-shirt. Be sure to draw the bones the same approximate size that you want them to be on the black T-shirt.

Make a stencil. Once you have gotten a satisfactory drawing of the bones on the paper, get some scissors or a utility knife so you can make a stencil. Cut along the lines that you drew on the paper, leaving a stencil that you can use to trace the design on to the black T-shirt.

Purchase some fabric markers. You will need to get a fabric marker to draw the bones on the black T-shirt. You can get these from any art, craft or hobby store. There are many brands, but Marvy DecoFabric markers are well-known for doing well on dark fabric.

Prepare the shirt for drawing. Get a piece of cardboard at least the size of the drawing and insert it into the shirt directly under where you will be drawing. Not only will this give you a steady surface to draw on, but it will keep the marker from bleeding through to the other side. Lay the shirt on a flat surface.

Draw the bones using the stencil. Take your white fabric marker and your stencil to draw the bones on the black T-shirt. When you are done, leave the shirt to dry for about eight hours, or overnight.

Set the drawing with heat. Once the design has had time to dry you should set the design in by using an iron on a cotton setting. Just run the iron over the design a couple of times and you are done.
