For Halloween, learn how to make pirate costume for kids. It's fun to wear whether you're sailing the seven seas or swashbuckling for candy. For more ideas, scroll through our entire collection of Halloween costume ideas.
For the skirt: Sew the black and white skirt from striped fabric, cutting the fabric to twice the waist measurement. Fold over the top of the fabric by 1 inch and sew a channel for the elastic, leaving a 2-inch opening on one side.
Feed elastic cord through the opening of the channel. Sew the ends of the elastic together and then finish sewing up the channel.
Using scissors, cut triangular shapes out of the bottom of the skirt to create a jagged edge.
For the shirt: Trim the shirt sleeves into a similar jagged edge like the skirt. Use hot glue to attach the 1/2-inch grosgrain ribbon in a crisscross pattern to the shirt front.
For gold treasure "buttons" adorning the shirt front: Fill gem mold with hot glue; let cool completely. Pop buttons from the gem mold and coat each with gold nail polish; let dry completely. Hot glue buttons onto each ribbon end on the front of shirt.
Pair the assembled costume with striped leggings, boots, and a head scarf tied into a bow from 1 1/2-inch black and white striped grosgrain ribbon.
