Our attempt!
What you need is a T-shirt your willing to cut up or you can use a polo.
You can leave the sleeves on but for us it worked better to make it a sleeveless coat.
Then you will need Glue, Gold ribbon, Black ribbon and Black felt for the bottom trim. I glued on all of this to the polo. 1. I used the black felt for the bottom part of Captain hooks coat. And added this first.
2. Then I added the black ribbon around the edges where I cut down the middle. This gave it a more clean look and it covered up the raw edges.
3. Next I added gold ribbon and glued it over the black felt and the t-shirt.
This part was so easy it took about 20min.
The hat was alot harder for me. I used the template from The Hive. It worked great except my son is 7 and has a lot of hair so her template was too small for my boy. I had to guess at measurements. I had already messed up my other sons, Peter Pan hat and had to redo it so I was trying to avoid redoing this one. It was still slightly too small but it will work.
You will need black felt, glue and chalk. I followed her directions for the template and used chalk to draw it on first.
Then I cut it out and glued both pieces together. She sews them but I had no time for sewing and this worked just fine.
Super cute! My cousin's little boy wanted to be Captain Hook; Had I seen this I would have referred her right away!

Great idea! And I bet you could even use this same idea to make a Prince Charming coat... just add some tassels on the shoulder and keep it buttoned.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips the t-shirt worked out great. It was easy.
