Wearing all one colour makes you look taller so do the opposite,dress cute-bunches that will make her look cuter therefore younger-and smaller!.Could you have coloured lights on the ice!?That would also help!.
Use foam and baloons to make props things like toadstalls and tall grass:tissue paper rolled up!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

if it's a prop, it's very easy to make things larger with foam, styrofoam (did I spell that right!?), and papier-mache!. For permanent set pieces, it might not be the best idea to use some like a pole for a stem because stems are softer and the meatal would make it very unrealistic!. It is the same with the petals, which would generally be too hard to make out of wood!. In fact, depending on the script you can make a very simle set, mostly black, with abstract objects that can be concieved as anything!. Otherwse, try more soft materials!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
