How are you coming along with your Carnival costumes<\/a>? Are you making progress?<\/p>\n

Today, I\u2019m working on a new project: a pirate hat made entirely out of cardboard! <\/p>\n

The Pirate Hat<\/h2>\n

\"pirate
\nTo create the pirate hat, you\u2019ll need a large black cardboard sheet, white paper, a stapler, and glue stick.<\/p>\n

First, measure your child\u2019s head. The hat needs to be custom-made, so the cardboard should be large enough. The two pieces of the hat must cover the entire circumference of the head. Each piece should make up half of the hat.<\/p>\n

Take the black cardboard and draw the outline of the hat with its three points. Create a second identical piece by tracing the first one. Cut out both pieces.<\/p>\n

Search online for a skull and crossbones template, then trace it onto white paper and cut it out.<\/p>\n

Glue the skull and crossbones to one of the hat pieces using the glue stick.<\/p>\n

Place the two pieces of the hat together and staple them at the sides to secure them.<\/p>\n

The hat is now ready to wear and perfect for celebrating Carnival<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Besides the hat, I can also suggest a vest made of black felt, decorated with gold trim. You can find an older tutorial of mine here:
