The grand kids just bunched the top of the pillow cases and carried them over their arms.

Last year, my 6-yr. old DGD went as a Princess, so I got some Disney Princess fabric and made her a round bucket-type tote. It was about 12" high and about 8" in diameter with a handle she could wear cross-body. She's going to be a fairy this year, so I think the tote will still work.

I did something similar last year when the 3yr old wanted to be a batman princess. The tote I made had a batman symbol embroidered on it with a tiara on top. Costume was the same. Batgirl (we told her it was batman for a girl) and added a tiara and a princess wand. This girl loves super heroes, she even wears boys super hero underwear.
