A simple idea.  shown below using craft ideas made at home.  The crown made from old CD and kundan stones.  The necklace has been made from saree lace.

So the options are many .  Once we make the Goddess idol with kalasam, coconut, Face and ready made dress we can decorate Her further as per our imagination by using craft items that are readily available in the market.
