I mention a few weeks ago my friend was having a Pirate theme for her sons first birthday, remember? So I got to thinking what I could make for him? A few years ago, Wanda, made my oldest a cookie sheet alphabet board. She painted it all up and vinyled the abc's on there and then gave her abc magnets to practice with. Its been a favorite here so I thought could I do something pirate like that for little man?
Turns out that yes, yes I can!!
First I took a pizza pan from the dollar store and cut the inner image on my cricut. Then I distressed the edges of the pan to make them look more antique and glued the heads off some brads on to make it look like you were looking out a port hole (is that what its called? I get sea sick... so I really have no idea! LOL)
Then I cut, colored, laminated and glued some magnetic strips to the back of some images for him to put on.
The Kaven pirate flag I designed just for him. I thought the idea of the cross bones as the v was super cool.
And lastly I took a dollar store chest and covered it in paper, distressed and painted it to look like a real pirates chest.
How do you all think it came out? I'm in love and so happy to have it done!! I hope he loves it too!!
