- Large Pirate flag
- Green Floral Wire
- Tape

Pirate Ship Entrance Decor Directions
Step 1. Spray paint all PVC piping black and let dry for 1 hour.
Step 2. Create a tall mast with the PVC pipe by first inserting the 4′ tall piece into the cast iron umbrella base. The umbrella base needs to be heavy and made out of cast iron to be able to hold the mast up.
Step 3. Next, insert the the 4 hub PVC fitting to the top of the mast.
Step 4. Add in the 3 pieces of 2′ piping to the upper top of the mast and the two sides.
Step 5. Use staple gun to attach black fabric to the two sides of the sail. Cut the edges to make them look worn and frayed like the Black Pearl Ship or Flying Dutchman in Pirates of the Caribbean Movies or other Pirates Movies. Add a pirate flag as well.
Step 6. Wrap the garden netting around the ship by attaching it with nails to the sides of the garage. The front of the ship was held in place by a stick inserted into an old pot.
Step 7. Tape on old paper bags to the netting or use glue to secure in place. The glue gun came in handy with this. Don’t worry if the ship does not look perfect. The Flying Dutchman ship is the perfect model of this.
Step 8. Add striped effect by drawing in stripes to the ship with permanent marker.
Step 9. Play the Pirates of Caribbean theme song as guests arrive and shine a few spot lights on the ship for a grand effect.
