Post a CommentWill check out all these websites as I will need to make several pirates for our ghost pirate ship for our haunted house this year.Thanks.
Great ideas. I was a DIY Pirate two years ago. Great article!
great pirate costume ideas....now, if I could only get a "Jack Sparrow" to go with that! *swoon*.... :)
Cool. I hadn't thought of what sort of creature I'd warp into for Halloween this year. This seems easy enough. Thanks, Darrin. :o)
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Ha Darrin, you're amazing working six months ahead of time! I wish I would have thought of the eye-patch!
A peg leg would be a fun addition to a pirate costume (one that usually gets left out in the little pirates that visit our neighborhood).
Good advice.
Good resource.
Aye, matey, methinks you're on a roll with these costumes!
