With Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales set to release in a few weeks, all I can think about is beautiful locations, men with beards, and rum. Although the island names are fictional in the films and give us the impression of all being part of the Caribbean, many of the Pirates of the Caribbean filming locations are in places all around the world.

We pulled the kids in the wagon, but obviously (because I'm DIY crazy) they needed a pirate ship wagon instead of a regular one, so I created one. This took far less time than I expected and turned out even better than I had pictured. So here is my DIY Cardboard Pirate Ship Wagon. To make you need: Wagon Cardboard boxes (the bigger the better - I took mine from Ikea) Box cutter Paint Toilet Paper rolls Dowels White fabric Tape...lots and lots of it Freehand your … [Read more...]
