pretty simple. If you want to ensure success, doing a chalk outline and using a template first would probably help, but I didn't and I don't mind the slight messiness of mine. To add lightness and create the illusion of depth I then used two parts water to one part bleach to go over the fronts of the ribs/etc.

Instructions
-
1
Lay your shirt out flat, put some magazines/newspapers inside. I like using magazines, but if you use newspaper, make sure you use at least 5-10 pages so the bleach doesn't bleed through.
-
2
start painting a first coat of the entire design with four parts water to one part bleach. I freehanded mine, because I'm pretty partial to drawing skeletons. but I'm sure you could find a pattern online to follow if you so desire.

3
go over the fronts of the ribs/sternum/whatever else should be in the foreground again with two parts water to one part bleach. I also added highlights to the vertebrae. Its important to let the bleach dry after this step, don't overdo it before you can tell how light its going to be.

4
bleach in any missing bits/any bits you'd like to be lighter after it dries (takes perhaps 15 minutes, don't worry)
-
5
when you're satisfied, give it a quick rinse and let it dry sans bleach before you try it on :]
