Pet Halloween T-Shirt

Materials:

pet T-shirt
glow-in-the-dark dimensional paint
ultra-fine glitter
wax paper
large pompom
pipe cleaners
wire cutters
round-nose pliers
googly eyes
Fabric-Tac glue
pin backing

1. Pre-wash and dry the T-shirt. Slide a piece of wax paper inside of the shirt to prevent the paint from bleeding through to the other side (figure A).

2. Draw a spider web on the shirt with glow-in-the-dark dimensional paint. Sprinkle ultra-fine glitter over the paint while the paint is still wet (figure B). Allow to dry for about 4 hours before shaking off the excess glitter.

3. Glue googly eyes (figure C) onto a large pompom with fabric glue.

4. Cut two pipe cleaners in half with wire cutters and curl the ends under with round nose pliers to eliminate any sharp ends. Twist the pipe cleaners together to create spider legs. Glue the legs to the pompom body with Fabric Glue. Glue a pin backing to the underside of the legs and allow to dry.

5. Pin the spider onto the web (figure D).

6. Put the T-shirt on your dog and offer the dog a treat. Remove the spider before laundering and wash the shirt inside out.

7. Let the paint set for 72 hours before washing.
