Homemade FE gifts - Part 2

MVFEGift.jpg


Hi there. For those who asked, the key fobs were much easier than I had expected. Using the 7/8" ribbon, I fused it to 1 1/4" webbing with 7/8" Heat n Bond, then stitched along both sides of the ribbon with matching thread on top and webbing colored thread in the bobbin.

Using a rotary blade, I cut the length to 11" and stitched the two sides together 1/4" from the ends. The key fob hardware then clamps to the stitched end covering that stitching. For ease of handling, I worked on sections of 44" at a time.

I love the key fobs.

For our recent cruise, I made magnets for each room (mostly I gave 2 princesses and 1 Mickey):

Pendants for the women and older girls:

And Mickey and Minnie ears for the younger kids:

I couldn't come up with something homemade for the men and older boys, so I gave the men Mickey-themed calendars or planners, or little Spanish-English dictionaries, and the older boys got either Disney word searches or movie candy. I also found a bunch of High School Musical things for one young man who I'd heard loved it. We had so much fun participating in this!

Those Minnie and Mickey ears are great.

Thank you for continuing this thread. I love looking at everything. It gets me so excited about FE Exchange and sparks my creativity. I love all of the stuff you all have done on these 2 pages. They look great!

Highlighters for the navigator are nice. And you can get some at the dollar store. We did the same thing and my husband had me put two bottles of rum in each one but I know some people frown on that. He did have a good time with the extras. :cool1:
 


Here are some pictures of the things we got from our Alaskan cruise on the Wonder this August 2011:

Pages from the Journal book we made for everyone: included tips for your cruise, an "Alaska Cruise Alphabet" of things to find and take pictures of from A to Z, and Disney themed cartoons from the newspaper.

These are amazing!!! I wish I even had a half a brain to do these. My cruise is in 2 weeks and I don't have that much time:(
 
I just bought them the same just browse with out the blue word, and the seller combine the shipping.

Okay, so I am an idiot. Would you mind pm'ing me the seller if the ribbon. Or if we can just put it in a link. Try as I might, I cannot locate it.

Thanks!

I did, in fact, get the ribbon from ribbon scraps. My search on eBay was just "cruise ribbon". I think I used multiple sources overseas for the mouse split rings, though. I will have to check.

Someone (not sure who) on the old thread (I believe), made kits with the phrase 'minnie' emergency kits and an image of minnie.. thought that was really cute.
 
I was a lucky recipent of the key fobs from golfnsuch and I love it!!! Thanks Elizabeth...and it was so fun to meet you at PCG! :)
 
OK, it's not homemade, but I thought I'd share this bit of insight. My DD15 wanted to decorate her pocket on the FE with a note and an arrow saying "Candy Goes Here"! Guess what she thinks the ideal FE gift is?:laughing:
