Take the pieces and lay them out on a piece of white fabric. An old sheet works well. Pin to secure and trace around the outside to give yourself a size template. Unpin and remove clothing. Use a pencil to sketch bone shapes.
When you are happy with your design, go over outline with black permanent marker. Cut the entire design out in a rough oval. If there are visible pencil marks, wash gently. Starch heavily with spray starch and iron.
If you want to add glow-in-the-dark paint, you can do it at this point, and dry thoroughly. Cut on black lines. Pin to clothing, baste (if you like) and sew.
If you want to get really 'fancy', you can even do finer work on black gloves

to save on time and sewing you can use WonderUnder, HeatNBond or any 2 way iron on adhesive
(I don't know if spray adhesive will work). after you iron the peices onto your shirt and pants, use the glow in the dark squeeze paint to outline and seal the edges.

Love this. I did this for my son who is now 20, when he was four. I used white felt squares to make the bones, it was an awesome costume, I actually have saved it. I also used those 99c black fingered gloves & made bone fingers, so cute. Easy, cheap & a great costume ta'boot.
