2. Wrap the red scarf around the head and tie a knot at the side so that the tail of the scarf hangs over the shoulder.

3. Put on the pants and the white shirt. Then put the blue vest on over the white shirt.

4. Wrap the white scarf around the waist and tie it in a knot so that the tail hangs down on one side.

Tips & Warnings

• To make the Jack Sparrow costume a little more realistic, you can wear a wig under the red scarf. Finding a wig of dreadlocks would be ideal, but if you can’t find that, then get a black wig and make your own dreadlocks.
• Putting some brown, red and black beads on a string and attaching them to the red scarf will also add to the authenticity of the Jack Sparrow Costume.
