ePirate Costume: A Modern Take On Piracy

This Instructable will detail the creation of a modern day pirate costume. We've all heard about torrents and pirates stealing data, but what do these guys actually look like? Here's my spin on it.

What you'll need:
For your head:

• A bandanna
• A flash drive
• A clip-on earring
• A Bluetooth headset/computer headset
• An eye-patch
• Headphones (Mp3 player optional)

For your body:

• A black t-shirt
• Spray paint
• Paint pens/more paint (you'll see what I mean)
• A computer mouse
• Velcro
• Sewing skillz! (and a needle and thread)
• An old CD/DVD (or new, whatever floats your boat)
• An Ethernet cable
• Buttons, the ones with the safety pins on the back

Step 1: Buttons

I decided I would wear some buttons to further the idea of the pirating. I got pictures of the uTorrent logo, the Pirate Bay, and Lifehacker and printed them out. Then, I simply cut and glued them onto existing buttons (because I don't exactly have a button maker...).
