Jack Sparrow Costume Tutorial Part 3: Pirate Boots, Vest, and Sword

In this tutorial, part 3 of the requested Jack Sparrow costume, I'll show you how to make Captain Jack's boots and vest. Both are very easy to make, and the technique for the boots can be used to turn pretty much any pair of boots into pirate-ready boots. And when you're done, they can go back to being ordinary boots, so you can just use a pair you already own, rather than having to buy a special pair for these. I'll also show you how I made the sword, though that's something I made a long time ago, so that'll be an explanation, not a live-making part of the tutorial.

MATERIALS USED:
1 pair of boots
Half yard of distressed fabric (found in JoAnn Fabrics)
1 sheet of 3mm craft foam (amzn.to/2DH7K2y)
1 brown or gray button-down shirt
Scissors
Hot glue gun
Awl

Sewing machine or needle and thread
