Add Some Great Pirate Decor To Your Pirate Theme Party!
If you are planning on having a pirate party this Halloween, then to make it even more memorable you will need to decorate your home with some authentic pirate decor to make it an awesome swashbuckling soiree!
With all the amazing Halloween stores that are now available online, you are going to be spoilt for choice when it comes to pirate props and decorations. What I have done is to research some of the biggest online costume and accessory stores and came up with a list of what I thought were the coolest pirate theme party decor, and which were
quality items at an affordable price…
A Peel’ n place pirate wall decoration is a great start. These can be used year after year if you are careful how you take it off the wall. The one I found, that I thought was authentic, had a rustic look of real weather-beaten wood and measured approximately 20″ wide x 11.5″ high, and said “Beware Of Pirates”. This decoration is made of plastic and will cling to just about any flat surfaces, for example, you can easily put it on walls, windows or doors.
What about a pirate flag? All pirates used flags as a symbol as to which piracy group they sailed under. There’s always the typical Jolly Roger that everyone knows about, but the one I really liked was a little more unique and definitely more colorful! It is a pirate skull with crossed pirate swords are displayed in the center with the words, “Pirates Only – No Trespassing! – All Others Will Walk The Plank” written on it. It has eye-catching brilliant colors. After your pirate theme party it doesn’t have to be folded up and put away, as it would be great for a bedroom or game room too!
You know that pirates are infamous for drinking rum, and lots of it! A pirate’s life can be tough, so it didn’t hurt to have a little something to take the edge off – a pirate’s bottle of rum! This is a great pirate prop. The one I found is a brown bottle with a red label, white skull and crossbones. It also has a blue ribbon style label featuring a red skull on the bottles neck, and a cork top. This plastic bottle adds a nice touch for pirate-y effect, either tucked into a cloth belt or used as simple decoration. It has a nice weathered look, and is really quite unique.
Then finally there’s the huge life-size pirate decoration, he is perfect for your pirate party. This jointed pirate skeleton cut-out will tower over your most of your guests at a whopping 6′ high with his skeletal parrot on his shoulder. This wall hanging is one-sided and made of cardboard. Just imagine this freaky chappy hanging on your hallway wall to greet your guests as they arrived!
Then, if you liked making crafts, you could go to your local craft store and buy a few items and then you could make some of the following homemade pirate decor…
- A treasure chest – you could make one out of a shoebox or cardboard box, or if you were extra ambitious you could make a proper life-size one out of wood!
- Make some gold coins – cover large round cut-outs of cardboard with gold foil. Make them different sizes, coins come in all different sizes. You could add these to the treasure chest, if you made one.
- You could bake a pirate cake or a pirate ship cake and put in the center of your table.
- You could make some Jolly Roger flags – just draw the skull and crossbones shape onto black construction paper and then paint the drawing with white paint. You could make a few of these and then put them all over the walls around your house.
For your pirate theme party, not only could you decorate your home with the pirate decor I’ve mentioned above, but another great idea would be to have a real treasure hunt! You could make your own realistic looking pirate treasure map and think up your own treasure hunt, or you can actually buy online some already prepared treasure hunt games for all different age groups, they can be purchased for ages 5-9 years (easy), ages 10-teen (medium) and teen-adult (hard). All you then need to do is for you and all your guest to dress up in pirate costumes and female pirate costumes and you will have the best pirate party ever! Don’t forget to take lots of photos, you’ll want to remember this one!

How To Make A Treasure Map For A Pirate Party
If you are having a pirate theme party at your home this Halloween and you are looking for instructions on how to make an authentic looking pirate map to decorate your wall with, then you have come to the right place! This is such an easy project to do, and really adds to the atmosphere of your party.
Here are the items you will need…
- White construction paper
- Tea bags
- Colored markers
- Lighter (to char the edges of the map a little)
- Large cookie sheet (or bathtub, if you are making an extra large pirate map)
- Blow Dryer
- Cooking Oil
- Paper Towels
First of all, you are going to “age” the paper. If you are making a small size map then you will need a large cookie sheet filled with cold tea solution. If you are making an extra large size you will need to fill the bottom of a bathtub with some cold tea.
Dip the paper in the tea for about 5 minutes. Then flip and leave it in there for about 1 more minute. At this time, when the paper is wet and pliable, carefully tear and fray the edges a little, this helps to make it look more like an authentic pirate map.
Then remove the paper from the tea and gently crumple it up a little and then lay it out more or less flat and allow it to dry.
If you are in a hurry, then you can speed up this process by using a blow dryer.
Blow dry on high for about 5 minutes (leave it lying flat to prevent it from tearing or breaking). When it’s mostly dry (and starts to lift up a bit) then switch the blow dryer to low setting to finish it off (about another 2 minutes).
When it is completely dry. then lightly char the edges with a lighter. This adds a really authentic touch. If you don’t feel comfortable using a lighter, then as an alternative you can use cinnamon powder. Just sprinkle a little over the torn edges and rub it in a bit. It will colour the wrinkles and torn edges more than the actual surface of the paper, and will also give it an old an authentic appearance.
Now it’s time to draw your map. Take some markers and just get creative. I have included on this page some pictures of finished pirate treasure maps to help give you some inspiration. Some suggestions to add are…landmarks like mountains, ponds, beaches, lakes, forests, palm trees. You could also add shark fins in the water, waterfalls, large rocks, jungles, caves, trees, rivers, and of course a compass rose and a big X to mark where the treasure is!
Now wipe both sides with a small amount of cooking oil. Finally, blot off the excess with paper towels – this will make it will look and feel like genuine parchment!
That’s it, that’s all it takes to make a really authentic treasure map that you can be proud to display at your pirate party!
All you need to do now is decorate the rest of your home with other pirate decor like a Jolly Roger flag, gold coins, a treasure chest, etc and dress up as a pirate!

Food And Drink Ideas For An Adult Pirate Party
If you are planning an adult pirate themed party this Halloween, then here are some great suggestions for food and drinks to serve your buccaneers and lady pirates. There’s a certain image that a pirate brings to mind… they are portrayed as strong, sexy, and have a “don’t mess with me” kind of attitude – even pirate wenches exude that same toughness, there’s that “I’m not taking any of your nonsense” atmosphere about them. To go along with these pirate images, you should choose your food and drinks accordingly…
Buccaneers Jerk Chicken:
- 2 tsps ground allspice
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 tsps thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tblsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsps ground black pepper
- 2 tblsps vegetable oil
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 2 cups of chopped onions
- 1 cup of lime juice
- 2 habanero peppers
- 1 large chicken (approx 5lbs), skin on, cut into 10 pieces…..
Combine everything except the chicken and the lime juice in a food processor and puree until it is smooth. Put the chicken and the lime juice into a mixing bowl and pour about 1/2 of the pureed jerk sauce over it, making sure to toss the chicken around to ensure that it is well coated in the sauce. Transfer it to a container and pour the rest of the jerk sauce on top of chicken. Then cover and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Then preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the pieces of chicken out of the jerk marinade sauce and place them, skin side up, in an oven-proof casserole dish. Bake in the oven for about 45 to 55 minutes or until cooked through and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced with a fork.
Cutlass Codfish Fritters:
- 1 lb of cooked codfish, shredded and washed in water and lime
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp of chopped onions
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 lb flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 litre milk
- 1 tbsp creole hot pepper sauce…
Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then slowly add the eggs, hot pepper sauce and milk. Add the cooked codfish. Now form the dough into 1 inch balls. Heat up the cooking oil in a frying pan and then spoon the balls into the frying pan and cook until golden brown – then remove and drain off well. You can serve with extra hot pepper sauce for dipping them into.
No pirate party would be complete without rum! So here are 2 recipes that include rum and would be great for your themed party. The pirate is someone who takes what they want from whoever they wish and does whatever they feel, and you can imagine that being very true with recipes like these!…
Planter’s Punch By The Pitcher:
- 1 cup of rum
- 1/4 cup of Southern Comfort
- 1/4 cup almond liqueur
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup of grenadine Juice of 3 limes…
Mix all together in a pitcher and add some ice cubes. Garnish with lime slices and cherries if you wish.
Anchors Away!:
- 1 oz spiced rum
- 1 oz white rum
- 1 oz coconut rum
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 3 oz pineapple juice
- Frozen strawberries (about 5 or 6 large ones)
- 1 slice of pineapple….
Combine everything in a blender with some ice and continue blending until smooth.
For dessert, I found 2 Youtube videos that you might be interested in checking out – one is about how to make a pirate cake and the other one is about how to make a treasure chest cake. Both of these would look great on the table at your pirate party…
Try these recipes out for your pirate party, I think you will find that they are sure to be a hit. Along with some pirate props and decorations around your house, and your guests dressing up in pirate and pirate girl costumes you’re sure to have a great Halloween party this year!

How To Make A Homemade Pirate Eye Patch
This is soooooooo easy to make and is a great finishing touch to your pirate girl costume. All you need is some black felt that you can get at your local fabric store or your local craft store and then a couple of shoe laces or a piece of elastic (black would be best).
First of all you need to draw on a piece of paper a shape that is your basic eye patch shape, you just have to approximate this, but it’s better to make it too big than too small, as you can easily make it smaller one once you have cut out the basic shape.
Use this piece of paper as your pattern and pin it onto a piece of black felt and cut out the patch.
Now you have your patch and all you have to do it to attach the shoelaces so you can tie it round your head. Just push one end of each of the shoelaces through the felt patch at each side of the patch and make a knot in it so that it won’t pull back through the felt when you try to put it on.

All you have to do now is to tie the ends snugly behind your head.
If you have chosen to use elastic, then just do the same as you would for the shoelaces to attach each of the ends of the elastic to the patch.
There you have it, an easy great finishing touch to your piratess Halloween costume!

What Would Be Good Pirate Wench Accessories?
Ahoy sassy lass!
If you are you looking for some great accessories to add to your pirate girl costume to make it that bit more authentic and to make you stand out from all the other ordinary wenches, then I have some great ideas for you!
Pirate Boots: There are 2 ways you can go here, the short length boots, that are just above the ankle or you can go for the more sultry look of the high heeled longer length, fold over cuff boots. Either of these would be an awesome addition to your costume.
Parrot: No depiction of a pirate is really complete without a parrot perched on the shoulder, and that can apply to female pirates too. There seems to be a connection between the loud, gravelly-sounding punctuated speech of pirates and that of parrots you could use some of your pirate lingo and a fake parrot to be a fun finishing touch to complete your image.
Pirate Cutlass: No matey should be caught without one! This would be a cool accessory as it is the weapon most associated with the pirates – they were ideal for fighting in the close confines on or below deck. You’ll need your trusty cutlass to help you defeat those pesky pirates!

Pirate Pistol: Maybe you are not a sword kind of girl and would rather be seen with a pistol. No Pirate girl is safe without a weapon, so carry a pistol with you and show those other landlubbers that you can take care of yourself!
Skull & Crossbones Necklace: A ‘must have’ for every lass with a penchant for pirates! A skull and crossbones necklace is sure to add some seafaring style to your look.
Fishnet Thigh High Tights: Finish your pirate image with some black, fishnet thigh highs. This would be a sexy addition to any pirate costume this Halloween!
Striped Tights: If you are looking for a less sultry look then some black and white striped tights would be a great way to complete your outfit and as a added bonus, they will also keep your legs warm if you are going trick-or-treating.
Pirate Earrings: Don t all pirates have earrings? How about adding some Jolly Rogers to you ears? A pair of dangling skull and crossbones would be an eye-catching accompaniment to your outfit.
Eye Patch: For some reason these just seem to go hand in hand with pirates. There are the plain black ones that you can buy, or if you are feeling a bit more glitzy, then believe it or not, there are even rhinestone eye patches! It all depends on what kind of look you want.
Pirate Hat: Nothing finishes off a pirate costume quite like a pirate hat does. It s pretty much a must have . The only thing is that there are so many kinds to choose from. There s the classic black hat, then there s others with white feather plumes, or the kind with a long draping scarf underneath, some with skull and crossbones on them, and also the more glamorous swashbuckler ones. It all depends what your style is.
Pirate Bandana: If, however, you are not into hats, then another headpiece that really compliments a pirate costume is the bandana. They come in all different types, too. There are ones with skull and cross bones on them, satin ones and even ones with a buccaneer wig attached to them!
Blacken Some Teeth Out: Finally, don t most pirates seem to have lost some teeth? Too many drunken brawls, I guess. Why not think about blackening out a tooth or a couple of teeth, just to make yourself look a little more authentic!
Hope this has given you some ideas to give your pirate girl costume some finishing touches to really catch everyone s glances on Halloween night!

Where Did The Jolly Roger Flag Come From?
The Jolly Roger is the flag most popularly attributed to the notorious 18th century pirate Calico Jack Rackham who is allegedly suspected to have been romantically involved with history s most famous female pirate, Anne Bonny. They allegedly had 2 children together. The flag was also known as Captain Death amongst pirates.
Historically, the flag was flown aboard the ships to frighten the pirates’ intended victims into surrendering without a battle, since the message it conveyed was that these attackers were ruthless outlaws who did not regard themselves bound by the usual rules of maritime law and therefore might have no qualms about slaughtering those they defeated.
If you do a quick search in the Oxford English Dictionary, it reveals that as early as 1724, the term Old Roger was what the British called the Devil and going further back, as early as 1540, a roger was a beggar or vagabond. Roger is also a derivative of rogue. So it s possible it might be that it was just slang for the sea-faring vagrants or a jolly roger.
The most common version of the Jolly Roger is the skull and crossbones symbol, usually with the bones placed crossing under the skull, but sometimes it can be with the skull super-imposed on top of the crossbones.
Pirates who did not belong to any particular nation would often make up their own personal flag so as they could spread their own infamy. Many pirates had custom flags that were quite different from the standard skull and cross bones on a background of black.

Who Is Anne Bonny?
Anne Bonny is without a doubt, history’s most infamous woman pirate, she was a plunderer, a cut-throat, a sailor, a ransomer, a raider, and all in all a general menace to maritime commerce in the Caribbean. Most pirates probably would have considered her to be a great asset to their trade!
Anne was born in a the small town of Kinsale, Ireland in the late 1690’s. She was the daughter of a penniless maid and her well-to-do lawyer boss, who was already married. When their affair was discovered, the two of them ran off to America and established themselves there as respected plantation owners in the state of South Carolina.

However, for the young Anne, the rural comforts of plantation life were far less exciting and alluring than the stories being passed around in the nearby port of Charleston, which was a well-known pirate haunt at that time. There, she met and married a small-time pirate named James Bonny, and the two moved to New Providence in the
Caribbean (which is now known as Nassau).
Charleston had been bad enough, a virtual pirate’s den, but in comparison, New Providence was literally the capital of pirates. Pirates more or less ruled the city at that time. Surrounded by many legendary figures such as Calico Jack Rackham (the man who is thought to be the person who invented the skull and crossbones symbol) and Charles Vane – Anne’s husband ,James, had a really difficult time keeping his wife’s attention.
After a short time there, Anne left James for Rackham, joining the latter on his pirate ship. Due to the fact that the pirate code explicitly forbade females on board, she secretly disguised herself as a man and fought valiantly alongside the rest of the ship’s crew.
However, needless to say, it was only a matter of time before she was discovered and confronted. According to legend, the first fellow shipmate who was the first to express anger at having a woman aboard ship, paid for it with his life. She, reportedly, stabbed him through the heart, right there and then.
As it turns out, however, Anne was not the only female on board. Also disguised as a male crew member was a woman named Mary Read, and the two of them became best friends. They shared their secret with Rackham, and the trio happily spent the next year wreaking havoc throughout the Caribbean until Anne became pregnant. She gave birth to
her child in Cuba then returned to the ship, apparently abandoning her child.
Ironically, it would be another unwanted pregnancy that would later save her life.
In 1720, Rackham’s pirate ship was captured by some pirate-hunters. During the battle, Rackham had apparently cowered in the hold of the ship along with most of the crew, while the two women stayed on deck and tried hard to fight off the attackers. After their capture, Rackham and the other men were dutifully hanged.
Anne and Mary were both pregnant at the time, and they escaped instant execution by pleading for their childrens’ lives. Read was sentenced to hang after giving birth, but as it turns out, before she could do so, she died of a fever in jail.
For some unknown reason Anne was granted a reprieve, and what happened to her afterwards is uncertain. Some accounts say she went back to her father or her husband, and others say she resumed the pirate’s life.
Whatever she did, and wherever she ended up her memorable words that she is supposed to have said to Calico Jack Rackham just before his execution have been passed down through history. She said she was sorry to see him in jail, but if he had fought like a man then he wouldn’t be now hanging like a dog.
