Pirate Day Decor

September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! It may have started out as just putting an “Arrrr…” in your sentences now and again, but it can be so much more! Let’s get all DIY pirate style:

Check out my origami tutorial for a pirate hat, grog cup, treasure box with coins, and a wee boat.

This is a creepy skull bottle to scare your crew.

Put up a mast for your backyard pirate ship.

I can’t even begin this project for a real metal and wood pirate treasure chest, but it’s great to dream…

Rebecca Angel

Rebecca Angel was one of those kids that put the dragon book on top of her pile in the hopes that someone would say, "Hey, I'm into that stuff too!" Alas, she had to wait until she was an adult to find fellow geeks. Luckily, she married one and their kids are too. A music teacher by day, Rebecca is also a lover of tea, science literacy, funky tights, RPGs, anime, manga, comics, fantasy books and movies.
