When the princesses arrived for the party, we met them at the door and commented on how nice they looked…except that we must have forgotten to tell them that the party was only for princesses and we needed to make them look a little more like a princess.  Then my oldest daughter and one of her friends put eye shadow, mascara, blush, and lipstick on the girls and painted their nails and gave them stick on earrings.  I made purple lace skirts for each of them ($2 a yard at Walmart; I cut the fabric in half lengthwise and just sewed a cylinder and added a casing to the top; since the bottom was finished it didn't need a hem; very quick and easy and looked great!).  I made 7 skirts from 7 1/2 yards of material and had enough left to cut scarves for each girl (I cut them about 7" wide from one end of the fabric to the other so the ends were finished).  I also made tiaras for them from wired star garland and tulle (I made 3 circles of the garland and wired it together, then took a strip of tulle and kind of braided it in and out between the wires, then tied curling ribbon (pink, silver, and white) in a slip knot to the back and tacked it down with hot glue so it wouldn't slip loose).  I had the girls put all of this on and then took them to the Queen's Treasure Chest to pick out some jewelry (We have a wooden trunk that says "Jose Quervo" on it; I've no idea where it originally came from but I lined the inside with purple felt and added a crown to the underside of the lid and filled it with Mardi Gras beads, beaded bracelets, rings, and some "beads" I made by buying gold and silver bead strands meant for a Christmas tree, cutting them into 24" lengths and twisting the beads so they snapped together and formed a circle.  After each one had her ensemble together we took pictures of them.
