What about a Robin Hood type hat made on green fabric with a feather on it?
Or this notonthehighstreet.com/studio136/product/pixie-hat.
My son loved his bag of gold made from brown felt filled with gold coins.

Definately hat's with feathers and belts with felt bags and possibly felt pixie boots.
give them pixie names on badges like High hat, Feather toes, Merry tummy, think Enid Blyton.
For the party decor try a woodland theme, and lots of toadstools.
For the food just rename old favourites... acorn ade (cola)!, sparkle pop (lemonade), pixie logs (sausage rolls), toadstool pizza ( just add mozzarella and dot cherry tomatoes over)
Games...musical toadstools, pin the wand on the fairy, instead of musical bumps call it fairy puffs lol, pass the parcel could be pass the log (just wrap in brown paper!) etc
Hope this helps

I was in the charity shop because mum had seen a nice scraf for a coat she got. Anyways while I was in there I got a single sheet, a pillow case and curtains for 5.00. All of which im going to make into something else. I think the Curtain fabric will be ideal for making door stops, and girls crayon rolls, and the needle roll fro mums knitting stuff. The pillowcase I am going to use for starting a patchwork pillow case for DD.

That's what I did.
My brooch backs arrived this morning. Not had time to attach them though, as I've spent all day at A & E with OH after he twisted his ankle

PepPop - found the needles, but a bit pricey I think

cuddles - thanks. Hope OH's ankle will be ok
