mima08 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, I had these amazing plans to make a pirate costume for my 3.5 yr old son for a party he is going to - only to fail completely and now look to acquire one quickly - the party is this weekend. Anyone know where I can buy one? Had a look in Sainsbury, but couldn't fine one - any other suggestions please?

Monkey Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 For my daughter, we put her in black leggings, white and red top, we made our own eye patch and used some old bits of curtains for her scarf. All from sainsbury's or our cupboard. She looked great!

EDmummy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sword made of cardboard and tin foil, scarf for head (red, black and white etc), eye patch made from card board, elastic and coured in with black marker, stripped t-shirt and if needd, hook made with cardboard (unwind a toilet roll cylinder) covered in tin foil.

uncleglen Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Did you know it is 'Talk Like a Pirate' day today? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49263-pirate-costume-where-to-get-one-last-minute/#findComment-782978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mima08 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hahaha, it Is talk like a pirate day,very appropriate :)Thank you every one for the suggestions,they're brilliant, and thank you for the offer, Grotty, too. I think we will go for a mix of bought ( got a sword and sash for belt) and I make some of the things suggested as the boy now says he doesn't want to dress up!!! Argh. So instead of full costume, we'll settle for light touch and accessories :)Many thanks, mx Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49263-pirate-costume-where-to-get-one-last-minute/#findComment-782981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
