HOW TO MAKE A PIRATE
COSTUME FOR BOYS:
Step one: Make the sword.
The first thing you need to do to
create this DIY pirate costume
is make the sword. Begin with
tracing out a sword shape from
your cardboard. Cut it out and
then wrap the blade part with
silver tin foil. Now, paint the
sword handle with gold spray
paint.
Step two: Create an eye patch.
Some iconic pirate-themed
costumes need an eye patch to
make the whole aesthetic like a
typical pirate. The next step
would be to create an eye patch
using your black felt paper.
Draw a semi-circle that is the
right size and shape to cover
the person’s eye.
Next, get the black string and
wrap it around the person’s head
to measure the length needed to
secure the eye patch — tie it later
on. Lastly, attach your eye patch
to the black string using a hot
glue gun.
Step three: Assemble the top.
Now, we can start assembling
the top. To do this, cut the
sleeves of the black t-shirt and
slice a straight line on the
middle of the tee.
After creating the vest, you can
start sewing the edges to create
a professional seam. Prep the
long-sleeved button-down shirt
and pair it with the vest to
complete the look. Set aside the
top and move on to the pants.
Step four: Cut the sweat pants.
This time you will have to cut
the sweat pants’ bottoms in
