Authentic Looking Pirate Halloween Costumes

October 23rd, 2008 by hlgiles

Authentic looking pirate Halloween costumes aren’t nearly as difficult to put together as you might think. There are a number of telltale signs, which, properly imitated, make you unmistakably, a fearsome Pirate. For example, the dyed in the wool pirate has got to be missing a leg. Here’s an easy way to follow in Bluebeard’s footsteps. Use a couple of sturdy sticks of a length to run from your knee to just above the ground. Wrap a length of cloth around the sticks, top and bottom and secure them with duct tape. Now, wrap a piece of stiff beige or brown felt around the sticks. A glue gun works well to attach the ‘wooden’ leg to the underlying cloth.
