How to for Gold Doubloons
First we cut a piece of cardboard into circles. We all helped with this task- even the Peewee Pirate himself. Not-quite-circular circles add to the authenticity.
Next we used good ol’ white glue to make designs on the cardboard disks. You can make your own designs or try to follow actual designs (look up online or in a book). We tried to do both. You need a steady and slow hand if you want to get intricate details and we found that using a toothpick dipped in the glue was best for such matters. Of course we didn’t do too many this way- we are short tempered pirates  after all . . . . .

Let the glue dry. You will know this because it will be translucent and will not stick to your finger when you touch it. Should you touch it before this time . . . . and smear it- think of it as added detail to your coins.
After the glue is dry on one side- do the other side.

After both sides are done- its time to paint. Even a Cabin Boy can do this job. Simply paint your doubloons with gold paint. Both sides (but not at once mind you!).


After the gold paint is dry you will paint the doubloon with black paint and then immediately wipe it off. This adds dimension/texture and authenticity to your doubloon. Paint black and wipe both sides- you don’t really have to wait for drying time for this one.


And you are done.
Our doubloons are “spendable” at the
Inn on Tourtouga aka snacks in the kitchen.
