Try the forums over at cosplay.com, lots of people have already made costumes and talk about what they used for different parts, have picture posted, etc...

Just google it in images get whole bunch of pics of w/e you were looking for, save them as your pic in your computer, then go to yahoo360 and pick "edit Costume Theme" then pick the pics you got from google images and save it in yahoo360.

Go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.  I was just in Hobby Lobby the other day trying to get ideas and they had some very nice ones that were already made, you just had to print the info on it.  Or go to Office Max and find some nice paper that would be appropriate for the occasion (maybe even find something with her colors so it seems even more personalized, even if you didn't have to put much time or effort into it)!  As far as the attire goes....just put something on the bottom of the invite that says "Casual attire is recommended."  When it comes down to it, people will not even care how they look...as long as all of the info is there, it should suit you fine!

Yes, you can probably find something at Michael's, or any large arts and crafts store in your area.\nAlso, depending on the size of your town, you might find something at the library - in my experience, library staffers are usually more than happy to help.\nA more "not leaving the house" kind of way to get info would be to use a popular search engine, like yahoo or google, and you can even try a search on Amazon.com, which is an insanely large on-line retailer, if you don't already know that.\nGood luck, and i disagree with the first person, at least a little - yeah, its fun to be creative and spontaneous with arts and crafts, but as a kid, with limited conceptual skills, nothing can eat the end result of a project with instructions. Plus, its a way for you 2 to do something together.\nGood luck, I hope this helps you get started!

Really any normal teacher supply store/website can help.  I see a lot of Christian type merchandise at the store my mother goes to.

I would try your local library to see if they can come up with something or put a post on eBay.  They have an area something like "want it now" where you can post what you are looking for.\n\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006F7N8G/102-3481700-9413751?n=283155\nhttp://stores.ebay.com/The-Childrens-Corner-copia

green tights. get some greem felt and sew a pointy hat shaped like a triangle. make a vest out of felt too and put on a belt. Buy some pointy ears from a costume shop. If you are a Santas elf then use red felt.

go to a party supply store, or your local $1. store!\nIf you have a cool local costume shop, you could try there, some store owners will order things in bulk for you at a discount.\nHave a Great Party!

put in the search bar preschool activities to find some websites.   This is one I like ..\n\nwww.perpetualpreschool.com \n\nAlso, don't be afraid to call local buisnesses to ask for craft supplies donations.

a great place to  buy   cosplay  is  ebay, you can  get  cosplay from all around  the   world.  Of course  don't forget   shipping  is gonna  take  longer  and  cost more if you buy something from  china. Another great place is  check the a  location convention  site www.cosplaylab.com  ( great  list of cons) and  go to the  forums on the  site. look for people who make  cosplay  most  of them  will  do  commissions for  a price.
