The first films about pirates of the Caribbean aroused great interest among viewers. Thousands of children, and adults alike, began to look forward to the next part of this film story about the adventures of brave robbers, the most charming of which was recognized as Jack Sparrow.
For many decades, one of the most popular fancy dress for New Year's children's morning performances and other celebrations is a pirate outfit. After the film about the Curse of the Black Pearl appeared on the screen, many boys wanted to look like Jack Sparrow at the carnivals. The costume of this character is easy enough to make yourself. In this case, you can use unnecessary clothes and accessories that are in every home.

The outfit for the movie pirate consists of:
- bandanas;
- shirts;
- vest;
- trousers;
- Treads
- a wig.
To make a pirate Jack Sparrow costume, you will need:
- white satin crepe or satin for tailoring a shirt;
- brown or burgundy velvet for trousers;
- red chiffon for belt and bandanas;
- faux suede or leather for a vest;
- wig;
- two leather belts;

In addition, in toy stores you need to buy a sword and a gun, and in souvenir shops - a purse (however, you can sew it yourself).
How to make a Jack Sparrow costume with your own hands
Making a carnival outfit begins with cutting a red chiffon bandana from the child’s head, the edges of which must be processed with an overlock or a regular zigzag on a sewing machine.
Further:
- a satin shirt with high cuffs and wide sleeves is sewn;
- from the fabric under the skin or suede they cut out an elongated vest of the simplest style;
- stitch the parts;
- they make long leggings from fabric in the color of shoes - so that, having put them together and having turned away “shafts”, you will get something like jack boots;
- ordinary "pajama" pants with elastic are sewn from velvet fabric;
- if there is a ready-made wig, then beads are not attached and braids are braided.
The problem of the hairstyle with which your “Jack Sparrow” should appear on the matinee (the costume will not be complete without it) can be solved in another way by sewing pigtails woven from thick black yarn onto a bandana.
We make captain Jack costume from improvised materials
When preparing a child for a carnival, you can do without financial costs at all. In order to make a Jack Sparrow costume (for children) from improvised materials, you will need:
- old t-shirts of black (brown) and red colors;
- White shirt;
- old jacket;
- a jacket or raincoat made of leather or leatherette;
- old felt hat (if any);
- any trousers of a dark color;
- boots, preferably with high tops.
Work order
To get the Jack Sparrow costume (for children) you need to make:
They take old t-shirts of red and black (brown) color. From the first cut a large triangular piece for a bandana. The second is cut into thin strips. Sew them to the bandana and weave them in three to make pigtails. Decorate the "hairstyle" with beads.
For the manufacture of this important item in a pirate wardrobe, dad or mother's white shirt is suitable if she has long sleeves. To give her the right look, you can either sew lace or a shuttlecock to her cuff, or fix it above the usual position. It is also worth decorating the collar of the shirt. The same lace is well suited for this.
You can sew it from an old jacket, cutting off the sleeves and sewing large shiny metal buttons, as well as pockets.
It can be sewn on its own or give the appropriate look to the old hat. For this, 3 fragments are cut out according to the size of the boy’s head . Then they are glued to the hat. If the headgear has wide fields, then they can be fixed on the tulle so that a triangle is obtained. On the hat you can stick the image of the "Jolly Roger", cut out of paper.
Here you can completely dispense with any pants of a dark color, preferably without “arrows”.
From a piece of leatherette, 2 trapeziums are cut out and each part is stitched on the side. Fix the resulting bells on the bootleg. Decorate shoes with large shiny buckles.
In the film, Jack Sparrow had a long white sash with a thin red strip. It can be made from a piece of fabric or a suitable long scarf.
First of all, you will need 2 or 3 leather belts that need to be worn on top of the scarf, and another one to be thrown over your shoulder, like a sword belt.
In addition, Jack Sparrow, whose costume is easy to make yourself, adored all sorts of "trinkets." Therefore, it is worth choosing leather laces and baubles, as well as rings with skulls and small multi-colored beads or a “necklace” of coins and keys.
You will also need toy guns and a sword or saber.
If your son wants to look exactly like Jack Sparrow at the festival, the costume will need to be complemented with the most similar wig and make the appropriate makeup. For example, a very natural “hairstyle” will turn out if you use black nylon tights (4 pairs). They are cut into pieces across and stretched so that twisted shoelaces-rings are obtained. Then they are cut and flagella are obtained. When the "strands" are ready, make the basis. To do this, use a wide elastic band of black color and sew the bars from one ear to the other, plus one transverse - from the forehead to the back of the head. Then, the flagella are fixed on the base in a circle, with a bandana being pinned on top in several places.
Makeup
Regardless of what the costume will be, you will need to arm yourself with a contour pencil to paint your Jack Sparrow's eyes, beard and mustache. If you want, use the purchased "vegetation" for the face. You can also bandage the head with a black ribbon with sewn pigtails, such as on a wig, to make a beard, like a pirate.
Mask
Although the makeup will be quite enough, your son might want to wear a mask. To complement it with Jack Sparrow's New Year's costume, you will need a printer. An image of a pirate’s face is printed on it, cut out and pasted onto cardboard. In the upper part, the stapler is fixed with the same piece of fabric that went on the bandana. Cut holes for the eyes. Fasten an elastic band to the mask, which will be hidden under the wig.
Compass
If you watched the movie carefully, then remember that something brilliant hung on the pirate’s belt. This piece of costume was a compass. It can be made from any box by gluing it with foil.
Now you know how to make a Jack Sparrow costume for a boy, and you can dress your naughty man so that he becomes the star of a school or kindergarten New Year's carnival.
