Thread: Pirate. Its our theme

Tweet

Need all the help I can get. We had a request to do a Pirate theme this year and there's not much time left. We have tons and tons of corragated cardboard that we would like to use. Any ideas on what to make with it?

A treasure chest, or two, is a must.
You could easily do a ship facade.
Whiskey barrels.
Hangman's gallows.
Crates.

Maybe a pirate graveyard with tombstones ? Let me know if I can help in any way, I've done a lot of pirate stuff

Make a shanty town (Tortuga, etc) like I made my Old West town last year. http://www.starkmadness.com/photos/a...l_IMG_0187.JPG

Cool. All it needs is a few cast iron water troughs just under the rails and it would be complete. (if it's still there or whenever someone makes it again.)

check out my albums for some ideas.ive done a pirate theme the past 3 years.also the pirate group is got a lot of cool stuff.

Of course, if you're driving to Vegas any time this year, my old Pirate Ship Facade is for sale. The "skin" is gone, but if someone had tons and tons of cardboard...

Yes, that's a 2-story house behind it.

Thanks to all who responded. A pirate grave yard with low lying fog and blue flood lights is something I would really like to acomplish this year. Maybe sounds of a sea storm (any one know of any good sounds for that?) I would love to do a little town set up but it would most likely be made and painted from the cardboard. We are spending more of the money on skeletons and pirate costumes this year.

I would love whisky barrals and hanging mans gallows. It all sounds great. Even some cannons.

Oh and the other thing I want to do is add something to the roof. I was thinking pirate bluckys-maybe making a large ship facade to cover the front of the house then adding a wheel by the chiminy and have the pirates up on deck.
