Here is another fun pirate themed craft – Cupcake Liner Pirates! All we did was flatten/fold some polka dot cupcake liners in half for the bandannas and glued them onto cardstock circles with facial features. Then we added other embellishments to really give them a pirate feel. Super simple and completely customizable too! {psst – these crafts go along perfectly with our favorite pirate book – Maisey and the Pirates by Sam Walshaw}
