It’s nigh time to take a step out of your all-black winter comfort zone. Go for a unique and edgy look with a snakeskin print tee. We rounded up everything you need to know about creating one of your own. Follow this simple tutorial from YouTube Vlogger “Urban Icon” for how to make a DIY Snakeskin Shirt Embellishment.

For materials, you’ll need to grab a pair of scissors and a t-shirt for the project. You can purchase fabric glue and snakeskin fabric through our online shop here at MJTrends.
Start by lying the shirt flat and then arranging the snakeskin fabric where you’d like it to be. For this tutorial, he used several strips of alternating sizes to create a cool effect. The smallest pieces were measured at 1.5 inches, the medium at 2.5 inches and the largest strips were 3.5 inches.
After cutting out the strips, you can take things a step further by rounding out the edges.
Next, you’ll want to attach the fabric to the shirt. Start by carefully applying a line of fabric glue directly to the shirt.
Lightly press the snakeskin fabric on top of the glue. Allow the fabric to dry completely before trying it on, and you’re all finished.

Get styling like “Urban Icon” and sport with a black blazer, or stand out from the crowd and wear solo. Eager to get started? Check out a few of the pictures below for even more fashion #inspo. For a subtle look, create a small cut out for a pocket at the chest.

Or, you could even remove the sleeves and replace with some snakeskin fabric for an extra edgy vibe. Wear it like hip hop artist French Montana and mix textures, opt for a panel of snakeskin at the top of a leather shirt. From black crocodile fabric, metallics and gold, we’ve got plenty of snakeskin fabric to choose from here at MJTrends. Scoop up a few bottles of fabric glue, and you’ll be all set to get started!
