Jaimie and Jay make an awesome DIY pirate/ren faire costume for our baby!

Learn how easily you can make a great Halloween baby pirate costume with some simple materials. This costs almost nothing to make and is super fun!

We both love going to the Renaissance Faire and we always dress up in full costume to get the most out of the experience! This year was Cullen’s first time and we made sure he was going in style by making his very first baby pirate costume to match Jay’s. The puffy pirate shirt is made from muslin (one of his old swaddles…) and the pirate vest is just some basic brown fabric. We used a piece of grey/silver fabric for the pirate sash and that was it! Very easy, simple and cheap materials, and so much fun to make.

This baby costume is less about stripes, parrots, and eye patches, and more of a ren faire style outfit and we did it this way to match Jay’s costume that he wears to the faires. They ended up matching perfectly and Cullen even got features on the first page of a local newspaper.
