Nothing like last minute work to get your creative juices flowing. It was the day before their Halloween party and we still had not discussed their costume. When I asked them this was their responses: Captain Hook, Peter Pan and a Pirate. I had no time to sew nor was I in the mood to sew, this is what I came up with for Captain Hook. After the party, it went into their costume bin and it still gets used for their pretend play.
What you need is a T-shirt you don’t mind cutting up or you can use a polo.
Supplies:
- Glue
- Red Tee or polo
- Gold ribbon, Black ribbon
- Black felt for the bottom trim1. Cut the tee as shown in the picture above. Down the middle and cut the sleeves off.
- 2. I used the black felt for the bottom part of Captain hooks coat. I glued the black felt to the bottom of the Tee.3. Then glue the black ribbon down the middle. This gave it a more clean look and it covered up the raw edges.
4. Next add gold ribbon and glue it over the black felt and the t-shirt. Also, glue small strips of gold ribbon in the middle area as shown above.
This captain hook costume took me about 20 minutes to complete. The pirate hat was a lot harder to make and my son didn’t even end up using it.
What a great costume! I don’t sew, so I am always looking for good no-sew ideas. Would love for you to link up at our homemade costume blog parade: http://alldonemonkey.com/2012/09/23/homemade-costume-blog-parade/

What a clever idea to cut up a jacket! Awesome job. My weekly linky party–One Creative Weekend–has gone spooky this week in honor of my thirteenth party. If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll visit “One Creative Weekend” on OneCreativeMommy.com (open every Fri-Wed) and link up this idea and anything else you’d like to share. (You can include non-Halloween posts as well, but feel free to link up as many Halloween-themed posts as you like.)
Oops–I guess it’s not a jacket. It’s a shirt. Still fabulous!
