Publisher's Synopsis
October will be here before you know it, and for some, that means only one thing: Halloween! (These are the folks who plan their costumes months in advance, have pumpkin carving ideas down to an art, and greet trick-or-treaters with full-size bars of the best Halloween candy-the dream!) For most, though-especially those that need to figure out Halloween costumes for kids-each October 31 comes more swiftly than the last, leaving us scrambling to find a last-minute Halloween costume and wondering, "Didn't we just do this?" If you fall into the latter camp, we have a suggestion that might help you simplify things this year: Make a DIY pirate costume! Trust us- it's a classic Halloween costume that will never steer you wrong, and you most likely already have materials on hand to make it happen. For that reason, we rounded up some of the best DIY pirate ideas to help you get inspired to craft your own. From costumes you can wear even when it's not Halloween (really!), to themed getups perfect for groups and best friend Halloween costumes, there's something here for everyone (including men and girls!). Truthfully, almost any getup can become a pirate costume with the right accessories (think: sword, eye patch, and bandana), so let this be a jumping-off point to get your creativity flowing.
