When she hoards this stuff, she is essentially laying claim on it. You need to put your foot down and say, "This is mommy's. If you want to use/play/look at it, you must ask me first." When you find that she still takes something without your permission, she needs a consequence (say a time out). The longer you let her get away with this, the harder it will be to correct the action.
Makayla is allowed to play with/wear/etc my stuff...but she always asks, first. Even if I've let her wear it every single day for the last month, before she puts it on or plays with it, she must respect my things and ask my permission first. Its just about teaching her respect for other people's possessions.
