I am looking to make a pirate scene this year and am looking for both ideas for props to use as well as specific sources of props.
So far my list includes (see Amazon - this does include duplicates, right now it's just a kitchen sink of ideas):
So far my list includes (see Amazon - this does include duplicates, right now it's just a kitchen sink of ideas):
- Fish netting (backdrop, also used to help hide wires associated with an animatronic I'm building)
- Treasure chest
- Gold/silver/etc. coins
- Assorted precious gems (plastic)
- Bronze compass
- Telescope (the one I currently have in my wish list also has a box with it)
- Antique style lock with keys (to put on or next to the chest)
- Treasure map
- Pirate flag
- Rolled up canvas (Amazon - actually a pencil holder, but if I keep it rolled up, I think it will work well as a map cover or something similar)
- Near-full size skeleton (I've heard about the Costco Skelly, but I don't have a membership and I don't know when they start selling them typically)
- Barrel for skeleton pirate to sit in (see: http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/135465-bought-these-barrel-planters-sale-costco-today-7-3-14-a.html#post1630260 as inspiration/stolen idea - love it Danski!)
- Bottle(s) of wine/rum/etc. for skeleton pirate
- Pirate hat
- Pirate clothing (probably will go to a local costume store to look, but also looking for specific suggestions)
- Any additional booty (I'm thinking of some sort of necklaces, maybe some random things you might find at a governor's mansion from the ~18th century)
- Flintlock pistol
- Pirate sword
- Full size skull (I have found a bunch out there, but I'm looking for suggestions as well)
- Canvas sail (saw this as inspiration)
