Coolest Homemade Pirate and Parrot Halloween Costumes

My husband was a pirate and our baby was his little parrot.

For the Homemade Pirate and Parrot Halloween Costumes we used black pants and a frilly white shirt. We had actually used both last year with a cape and teeth for a vampire costume. I cut about a 5 inch width of red satin material (from the bottom of an old devil costume cape I had made another year) into a long sash. I also cut a long strip of black fabric for the head scarf. We smudged some black eyeliner on him and he was a pirate!

We used ideas from this website to make the baby’s parrot costume. It was a red long-sleeved cotton shirt with some red sweatpants and yellow socks. We added googly eyes and cut out a beak using yellow felt which was stuffed with batting and hot-glued onto a red winter hat.

We cut out several strips of different colored felt material to make the wings and tail. These we also hot-glued together so that they overlapped and showed the colors; we then basted (handtacked using a needle and thread) the wings to both the undersides and sides of the shirt. We also basted the tail to the back of the shirt with a needle and thread so that we could easily remove the tail and wings to use the shirt later. Their costumes were a hit! I love this website!
