I don't have any big circle earrings. Will little ones work?

Yes. Any kind of hoop earrings can work. If possible, you can even put an earring in only one ear.

How do I make a pirate costume for a 25" ventriloquist puppet?

Community Answer

Just make it smaller. Use toddler clothes, or something like that.

Question

Do I have to make a telescope?

Garrett

Top Answerer

Not at all. A telescope is simply an easily recognizable prop that people associate with buccaneer pirates.

Question

I wear glasses and can't wear contacts. What should I do?

Community Answer

You can wear glasses and still look like a pirate. You can even cover one lens with a patch.

Question

How do I act like a pirate?

Kyle Ross

Community Answer

There are two parts: Talk the talk and walk the walk. For simplicity, you can just mimic the pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean to get the talk down. Or if you want to get more intense, you can look up some YouTube tutorials for era-specific speech patterns. Once you have that down, you can work on walking. Try stumbling and shuffling around. Pirates are notorious for being drunk.

Question

I need a pirate costume. I need cheap costumes that are easy. What can I do?

Relatively cheap pirate costumes can be found online or at Halloween/costume shops if you don't have the time or resources to make your own.

Question

Can I just use a blue and white striped shirt instead?

Community Answer

Sure. Use what you have - every pirate didn't wear the exact same thing!

Question

Will regular jewelry work when making a pirate costume?

Community Answer

It depends on what you have on hand. Usually a gold chain necklace will work. You can also make a pendant.

Question

I'm a boy, can I use a girl costume?

Raphael Key

Top Answerer

Of course, and nobody should stop you if that's what you want to do. Remember that any measurements you have to take should still be your own. And generally speaking, girls' clothes are cut to girls' body shapes. But you can do whatever you want, be proud!

Question

Where can I find big hoop earrings that won't give my ears an infection? Do I even need to have them?

Community Answer

You do not need big hoop earrings, they just add to the effect. If you have sensitive ears, consider investing in sterling silver or gold earrings.
