Accents, nah. Just maybe rough/raspy voices, if possible and realistic.
The knee-in-boot idea is good, and always worth a laugh. You can always do this with already short people, and make accurate dwarves.
Beards, you can usually buy cheap props at Party City or something. Homemade beards aren't usually very beard-y. Construction paper works though. Heh. Or one of you could grow a beard if you were that dedicated. Or get a grandfather/uncle/father etc. who already bears one to act for you, but that could be a little tougher.
Another thing is arms, short dwarves don't have human-length arms, I guess you could wear short sleeves and keep your elbows in your shirts, but that would look a little weird.
Armor and such could be made with tin foil, or paper, or plastic or whatever. Cardboard would work.
For the magma, you could film at night and light some candles/make a little campfire and the flickering effect could be used.
Dunno.
