1. Gather Supplies / Measure
Get all of you supplies together, and make sure you have a shirt that will fit you pet. Then measure the shirt, and resize the negative to the size of your pet's shirt.
2. Download Negative
Download the negative here, and resize it to match you pets size in using a photo-editing program.
3. Print Negative / Cut bones
Print out the negative on Inkofilm, or print it out on regular paper and cut out the shapes of the bones. You can also use a negative, or something you have around the house, to print something inside your pets stomach. In this case, we used a negative of candy.
4. Apply Inkodye
Apply the Inkodye and spread it evenly across the fabric.
5. Secure Negative
Lay the negative over your fabric and keep in flat using either push pins or a thin pane of glass.
6. Expose
Bring your print into the sunlight and wait for it to turn black. This should take about 20-25 minutes in direct sunlight.
7. Wash
Take your print out of the sun, and wash it in the washing machine using Inkowash and hot water.
8. Print opposite side
Repeats steps 2-6 for the other side of your shirt. Make sure to use the corresponding negative for each side of the shirt.
