To accomplish the pirate theme, string flags together and hang them across the room. You can make flags out of old scraps of fabric or purchase solid colored swatches of fabric and cut them into rectangles and triangles. Fisherman’s netting is also a great decoration to hang from the windows, doors and to drape over the furniture. Fill the room with pirates’ HC 9781901223798 • $19.99 bounty — lots of gold coins and fake jewels strewn around.

PB w/CD 9781841481319 • $15.99 To make treasure chests, fill the bottom of a large chest or large HC w/ CD 9781846862373 • $19.99 baskets with tissue paper. Cover the top with gold coins and fake jewels to give the appearance that the entire chest or basket is filled with loot.

A pirate costume is easy to master! Wear a striped t-shirt with jeans or pants that have been cut at the bottom into a jagged edge. A knotted red scarf around the neck or over the head is also a perfect pirate look. Top off the outfit with an eye patch, black pirate hat and drawn-on mustache!

d & Drink o o F

Create a lavish spread of food freshly captured by the pirates! Include delicious finger sandwiches, chips and dip, fruit, cookies, brownies and other pirate’s bounty. Serve with cold root beer or ginger beer — a refreshing drink on a hot day at sea!

y Fa v o rs Pa r t

Use brown lunch bags or pieces of cloth like a pirate’s knapsack to create perfect gift bags of gold coins, eye patches, candy and temporary tattoos!
