October will be here before you know it, and for some, that means only one thing: Halloween! (These are the folks who plan their costumes months in advance, have pumpkin carving down to an art, and greet trick-or-treaters with full-size candy bars—the dream!) For most, though—especially those with kids’ Halloween costumes to figure out—each October 31st comes more swiftly than the last, leaving us scrambling to find a last-minute costume and wondering, “Didn’t we just do this?” If you fall into the latter camp, we have a suggestion that might help you simplify things this year: Make a DIY pirate costume! Trust us— it’s a classic Halloween costume that will never steer you wrong, and you most likely already have materials on hand to make it happen. For that reason, we rounded up some of the best DIY pirate ideas to help you get inspired to craft your own. From costumes you can wear even when it’s not Halloween (really!), to themed getups perfect for groups and best friends, there’s something here for everyone (and every age!). Truthfully, almost any getup can become a pirate costume with the right accessories (think: sword, eye patch, and bandana), so let this be a jumping-off point to get your creativity flowing.
Comfy DIY Pirate Costume
Let’s be honest: Halloween costumes aren’t typically the most comfortable. Between itchy, synthetic fabrics and heavy makeup, you may find yourself counting down the hours until you can get home and throw on your pajamas. If you agree, then this costume—which comes together with a pair of leggings and a T-shirt—is the pirate costume for you.

DIY No-Sew Pirate Costume
You don’t need to be able to sew to make your own pirate costume. The pants here were made by cutting up an old pair of sweatpants, and the jacket is simply a piece of jersey fabric with holes cut for arms.

DIY Peter Pan Group Costume
If you’ve got your heart set on dressing as a pirate, but also want to coordinate with your family or friends, consider a Peter Pan group theme! The Captain Hook coat seen here is made from this pattern and requires some sewing skills, but we bet you could get a similar look by adorning a store-bought coat.

DIY Pirate Hat
You’re bound to run into another pirate or two this Halloween. Ensure you stand out from the crowd by crafting your own hat! This one is made from felt and elastic. Faux red rhinestones as eyes add a festive touch (though you could just as easily draw them on with a marker).
