- Marie-Grace is just wearing clothes from other toys. (The skirt is from a Cinderella Barbie, and the shirt is from a tiny stuffed animal from a local hospital. I just turned it so the logo was on the back.) For her hair I used a little piece of tulle to make a bow and secured it with a decorative brad. (It is a snowflake, but I thought it looked like a firework.) The sash is just a hair elastic.
- Caroline is wearing a mini tutu I made from a clear hair elastic and some white tulle. I just moved the waist up to her neckline and poked her arms out between the pieces of tulle. Then I secured the waistline with a piece of ribbon. I stuck on a little self-adhesive jewel, but it didn't stay too well. The headband is a little piece of paper ribbon with a few foil star stickers.
- Cecile is wearing an outfit crafted entirely from cupcake liners secured with tape. For the top, I cut out the bottom center circle of the wrapper and carefully crossed the resulting strip over her shoulders and down in front. The skirt is made from two cupcake liners flattened and folded in half. The sash is made from that same shiny paper ribbon with foil stars, taped in the back. The hat is made from piece of paper towel roll covered with another cupcake liner.
