Duct Tape Thriller Jacket! 6 Days until Halloween!

UPDATE!!!! DEC 3, 2011: THIS IS ME IN MY FINISHED THRILLER JACKET! IT WAS AWESOME,BUT HOT! HALLOWEEN NIGHT WAS CHILLY, SO I WAS NOT MISERABLE IN IT! ON A CHILLY OCTOBER NIGHT..THERE WAS SWEAT....

This is what i have done so far with my Duct Tape Thriller Jacket. I ran out of tape toward s the end. this project is inexspensive and fast, so if you haven't got it made by Friday, don't freak! Materials: 2 old t-shirts, at least 2 rolls of red duct tape(may need more depending on your shirt size), 1 roll of black duct tape, scissors, and measuring tape if u wanna get all fancy. I made mine a 3/4 sleeve length jacket just to make it a little more girly, but you could use a long sleeved t-shirt as your base if you want your design to be a little truer to the original Thriller Jacket. Step 1: Choose 2 t-shirts. They should be about the same size.

Step 2: If you are going to make your sleeves 3/4 length, you will need to cut the sleevs off of one shirt and tape them to the first shirt. If you are going to make a long sleeve jacket, or keeping the sleeves short, skip this step.

Step 3: Cut your t-shirt straight down the middle in the fron to make your jacket opening.

Step 4: Begin applying tape. in my opinion, long vertical stripes look best.

Step 5: cut a v-shape out of your second t-shirt as seen above. Leeve the shirt collar attached to both the fron and back of the shirt. This will be the v-shape Thriller jacket cover. Cut down the frond of this shirt as well.

Step 6: Drape the v-shaoe shirt over your first shirt, and run out of red tape just when you are ready to attach the 2 shirts!

Step 7: Begin black trim.
