When creating baby pirate costumes at home using your own clothing you should pick a pair of black, gray, or stripped pants. They should be loose fitting, with a little flair. The shirt should resemble a corset or poet shirt. You may have to pick up a pattern and create your own shirt. The scarf for the head can be made out of a handkerchief with frayed ends. If you havent bought a belt for your baby you can make one from a sash, wrap, or handkerchief again having the frayed ends. If you want to make the baby pirate costumes complete you can create a knife and saber. Tin foil works really well with creating toy swords. It can be painted or you can use multiple colors of tin foil or wrapping paper to get the effect you want. You can even make a pistol out of tin foil to complete the ensemble.
