Simple Pirate Group Costume

I work at a summer camp and on the last day before the kids go home all the counselors dress up in fancy dresses. All the lifeguards decided we don’t want to dress up, so we always come up with matching costumes. The pirates were extremely simple. We all had grey sweatpants and black tank tops. We just took any plaid shirt we could get ahold of. The only things we bought were bandannas and eye patches from the dollar store. To make our hooks, we stuck a stick through a plastic cup and wrapped it in tin foil and shaped it like a hook. We printed off parrots from the internet and colored them in, then taped them to our shoulder. We Googled how to make a hat out of construction paper, then drew a skull on it.

This was the first time the lifeguards decided to dress up, and it just got better each time. All the kids loved it and the counselors were always looking forward to what we would come up with next. We followed it up with cavewomen, hula girls, hippies, Superheros, Seven Dwarfs, Pacman, robots, and finally the Flinstones.
