These three little sheep can’t wait to graze on candy. Their “fleece” is wool batting, gathered and sewn to a sleeveless leotard, which is worn over a black long-sleeved shirt and leggings. A cotton hat with floppy felt ears and a dot of face paint complete the costume. For children ages 3 and older.

Golden Goddess
Martha is draped in a diaphanous wrap of gauzy silk-organza strips and wears golden leaves in her hair to become a Golden Goddess. For the wrap, you can achieve a similar look with a plain, sheer shawl pinned with the branch brooch we make here. An urn filled with gold-leafed pomegranates and apples and gold-painted leaves helps to set the scene. You can spray the fruit with gold floral paint for much the same effect.
