How to make a No-Sew Captain Hook Costume From a T-Shirt!

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 the costumes. 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, 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. You can also use a polo shirt.

You can leave the sleeves on but we wanted it to be a sleeveless coat.

Supplies:

Glue for fabric or silicone glue (here)
Red Tee or polo
Gold ribbon, Black ribbon
Black felt for the bottom trim

1. Cut the tee as shown in the picture above. Down the middle and cut the sleeves off.

2. Use the black felt and cut out a long rectangular shape. This will go around the bottom of Captain Hooks coat. Then glue using fabric glue or silicone glue. Glue the black felt to the bottom of the t-shirt.

3. Then glue the black ribbon down the middle of both sides. This gave it a more clean look and it covered up the raw cut edges.

4. Next add gold ribbon and glue it over the bottom where the black felt and the t-shirt meet.

5. Then glue small strips of gold ribbon down the middle of the coat as shown above.

This captain hook costume took me about 20 minutes to complete. You can also use a hot glue gun if you don’t have fabric or silicone glue. The pirate hat was a bit more complicated for me to make and my son didn’t even end up using it, blah.
