You don’t have to spend the whole of your savings on pirate costumes in Australia when you can make a costume for less than $30. We will show you how to mix and match different pirate accessories with what you already have at home to create an outstanding pirate look that will get you satisfied.
Scuff up an old t-shirt
This part will cost you nothing because you will just take an old t-shirt in your closet and scuff it up to give it a pirate look. To do this, cut a zigzag pattern across the sleeves and the bottom of the torso. You can use any colour but a black, brown or white t-shirt will work well. You will need to do the same to a pair of trousers to complete the look of a pirate.
Don a wig
Whether you are making pirate costumes for women or men, you need to pay attention to the hair. You can get a jack sparrow style wig from a local store and this will cost you less than $8. If you are a guy then you should let your stubble to grow in a week to add to the scruffy look of a pirate.
Add buckles to your shoes
You can get attachable pirate buckles and add them to your shoes. You all need to put on a pair of black shoes and pull the buckles on top. This will build your costume without breaking the bank.
An eye patch is a must
To complete your pirate costumes Australia, you will need an eye patch. You can get eye patches from a local store or you can improvise with a small piece of leather and a string. This is all you need for your costume and you will be good to go. You can wear a big round earing and grab your hook to make it even better.
