Feeling flirty and a little fierce? Work a fashion-forward snakeskin print with a pink lip. Create a snakeskin top of your own using this super easy DIY tutorial created by crafty blogger loveMaegan.

First, assemble your materials, including a plain white tee shirt, one of your favorite tank tops, a little bit of lace and a Sharpie Stained Fabric Marker. You’ll also need a pair of scissors and a paper bag or some cardboard to work with. Place the paper bag or cardboard in between your white shirt. This will ensure that the fabric marker won’t stain or bleed through to the other side.
Next, lie your tank top on top of your shirt and carefully trace around it. Repeat the process on the back of the shirt as well.
Use your scissors and carefully cut out the tank top.
Place the cardboard in between the tank top, just like you did with the tee shirt. Grab your lace and place it on top of the tank top. Angle the Sharpie Stained Fabric Marker towards one side and mark your print through the lace fabric.
When you remove the lace, you’ll end up with a light series of print that looks exactly like snakeskin.
Repeat the process with the lace and fabric marker to create an all over snakeskin effect.

You can experiment with the tone, a bolder mark towards the top can create a cool gradient effect. Or, if you prefer a bit of color, mix things up with a yellow marker throughout the tank top.

If you’re looking to save a little time, you could always purchase snakeskin fabric and create a simple tank using this tutorial as well. For styling ideas, team with a pair of your favorite skinnies and ankle booties. There’s something so edgy and unique about snakeskin that gives off a hint of cool.
