So many great suggestions in this thread! Thanks to all!
We have:
St Michael: pillowcase with holes cut in for head and arms (do you get the level of my sewing abilities?); shield made of cardboard and covered in tin foil, with 'St Michael, defend us' printed on; sword from pirate outfit
St Lucy: white dressing-up dress we had already, with orange and yellow tissue paper flames tacked on (because she escaped the fire intact) and carrying a plate of eyes (white tissue paper scrumped up and covered in more tissue paper with black blobs for the pupils)
St Elizabeth of Hungary: as suggested above, dressing-up dress, crown, basket of flowers (again made out of tissue paper).
Elizabeth

I'm loving this thread! Thanks for all the great ideas! My girls are 1 and 2 1/2, so I really needed something that didn't cover their heads, as I know they would just be ripping it off. I ended up using my Holy Cards book as a guide and we have St. Agnes and St. Gabriel the Archangel. My 2-year-old is St. Agnes, and I just used an old long sleeve t-shirt I had (in size x-small...I'm not that skinny anymore lol), cut the arms super short to make a tunic and adorned it with gold fabric paint and jewlels. Her headband was made of another old one of mine decorated the same way and to the belt on her tunic, I tied a little lamb purse that she had (since St. Agnes is shown holding a lamb). She looked adorable yesterday at my Familia group's party, but I couldn't get a good picture at all! Maybe tomorrow on All Saint's day I'll get a good one. For my 1-year-old, I converted some dress-up fairy wings to angel wings and made a sign to go around her neck out of christmas trim (for the necklace part) and a purple sheet of foam paper to represent the scroll St. Gabriel is holding in the holy card picture. I wrote "Ave Maria" on there with gold fabric paint, it turned out cute. I got some adorable pictures of her in that one! I was surprised she left it all on!
Anyway, this is such fun! I can't wait to get a sewing machine so I can do something a bit more elaborate next year!

For sure we are doing this next year, and I'm using that fleece idea for making the robes. 
St. John the Baptist--cheap aluminum serving platter with a neck hole and fake fruit glued around. Add head.
Bl. Jacinta--head scarf, long calico skirt, and a top. Rosary. (This is Cecilia's this year)

We just finished putting together our costumes for the All Hallow's Eve party tonight. I put them on my blog. Now I'm off to bake 2 dozen cupcakes!
