Pirate Flag How-To & Goonies Contest

POSTED BY Meg Allan, 01 July 2008

 

Do we have many Goonies fans in the house?

 

 
 If so, let's take this week's episode of Decor It Yourself and add a pirate spin to it. You can take the technique of making the Gay Pride flag and make it more in One-Eyed Willie's style. Just find a cool image of a skull and crossbone, and create an applique. Add the applique to fabric to make your flag front, like the rainbow I made out of fabric strips. For a full applique tutorial, watch this episode of Thread Heads. Then follow the rest of the steps in the tutorial, replacing your skull and crossbone appliqued flag-front, for the rainbow flag front. Hang your flag with pride, but be sure to watch out for the Fratelli Brothers!

 

****BONUS TRIVIA: Whoever can find the TWO Goonies shout-outs in previous episode of Decor It Yourself gets a TREASURE! ARRRRRRRG! Just comment below on the two episodes you see Goonies paraphernalia in. Whoever names both of the episodes correctly, will get some booty. Pirate booty, not mine.
