We love pirates so much, in fact, that you should also check out our Craft Stick Pirate Craft, too. And, since a pirate needs a ship, also see our Nature Stick Pirate Ships as well as this Paper Pirate Ship Craft.
To make our Cardboard Roll Pirate Craft you will first need to print our Pirate Template. The remainder of the supplies include a tissue paper roll size cardboard roll, construction paper in white, black, and the colors of choice, a black pen, glue, and scissors.

Glue the white skull and bones on the pirate’s hat. And glue the black stripes horizontally on the white rectangular piece. Keep equal distance between the strips.
Now, take the colored rectangular piece and glue it around the bottom side of the tissue paper roll.
Then, glue the black and white piece around the tissue paper roll right above the blue piece.
Take the pirate’s eye patch and glue it on the top side of the tissue paper roll.
