 For Mario and Luigi’s Buttons I cute scrap felt and tied them to our borrowed overalls.  I covered old hats with fabric and painted M and L on them. 

For Princess Daisy I added orange accents and a crown cut from poster board. I used the yellow felt and painted the middle for Daisy’s signature pendant. Her dress can be reused/worn again because nothing was glued/sewn to it (the orange ‘strap’ can be cut right off).  Found it damaged- one flower was falling off- I just cut it off with scissors.  If I had more time it might’ve been an easy fix.

Donkey Kong got a piece of fleece cut to resemble DK’s chest painted a bit for shadowing and a tie glued on.

Toadstool hat was covered in white fabric from an old undershirt and red polka dots glued on.  Toadstool wears a blue vest and small white shorts.  I used what I had in my closet to resemble the outfit.
