Handmade Pirate Costume


Hi there! Just want to share with you photos of my son in pirate costume 'handcrafted' by me. I got some good ideas from the internet and combined those that I like before starting on the project.

The hat was made of foam paper and the skeleton was actually printed on a piece of white paper. Fussy cut it and glued onto the front with added rhinestones on both the eyes. This hat was hand-stitched. No machine stitching was involved here. So, I guess, you can imagine how panicked I was when the party was just in about a week's time! Oh btw, there was also a letter F in rhinestones at the back of the hat. Sorry, no photo on that.

The suit/dress was velvety (what else do you call it?) and I kinda took a short-cut (LOL!) to make it. I simply just traced my son's t-shirt on the fabric and just cut and sew it together. I have used thick black thread to piece them all together and later added gold lining/ribbon on the edge. Again, no machine stitching was involved.


On to the belt! I have used that foam paper again and cut it into a square and cut out another smaller square leaving a band of foam paper right in the middle. Hope you understand what I'm talking about. LOL!
This was just to secure the black belt (cloth /felt type), which was then tied around and fastened onto it.

You can add whatever accessories you wish to add to suit your requirements. This was enough for me. Fhew!

Next post, I hope I can upload my new mini album! If not, I will try to upload some other craft works I did in the past.

TFR! Ciao!

  6. I think everything published made a great deal of sense. But, what
    about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, but what if you added a headline that makes people desire more? I mean "Handmade Pirate Costume" is kinda vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo's home page
    and see how they write article headlines to get people to open the
    links. You might add a related video or a related picture or two to get people interested about
    what you've written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.

  16. Many websites are involved in the funny picture concept and they include the cat playing with the plaything or with the trainer.
    The goal with a funny picture is to have the photograph be almost a blank canvas for you to put the
    punch line on. While almost every cat is a work of aesthetic beauty, they are often animals that combine silliness and a fierce disposition.
