Jen,

I'd appreciate the info on the craft items.

What are the rules for telling people about a website? I don't want to break the rules.

I have a mailing list for crafters where we buy as a group to get wholesale prices on things you'd use to make FE gifts. (ribbon, key fob hardware, bags etc) I won't say the name unless someone says its ok, in the rules. I looked and can't find specific info either way.

I'm not sure how similar or different this is, but I know someone who was flogged for mentioning she made certain items for sale. She was told you are not allowed to solicit sales here. Of course I've seen many do it with no reprocussions, so...

Ok. Well, no one has chimed in with a "no" so here is the info.

It is a mailing list that you can subscribe to. Members need to be approved so just put Disboards in there if it asks you. Once you're approved, feel free to introduce yourself and ask any questions and tell us what you are looking for.

Just send a blank email to:
Subscribe:
Sew-Fun-Buys-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Or you can go to the yahoo website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sew-Fun-Buys/

We do buys for items but we also talk about crafting as well as help each other when problems come up.

This is so cute. You said you found it on the Disign thread. Do you have the exact link? Every time I try to print it, it comes out blurry. Thanks

I have done both. I did not use a chain, but got ribbon necklaces from Ebay.

Just another idea .. I found a coloring page image online, then colored the image with a solid color at about 50% transparency. Made a nice antique look.

For our Cruise we're going on in April 2013 I made ribbon key fobs as part of our FE Gift. I just finished making 120 of them last weekend. Made enough so every person in our FE group can have one. They were fun to make & quite easy to put together. Ordered the key fob hardware, nylon webbing & Disney Cruise line Grossgrain ribbon online to make them. I'm making disney character magnets next weekend. I bought chipboard Disney characters from the scrapbooking section of our local craft store & I am attaching them to magnet paper (also bought from local craft store) & then cutting them out. There you have it Disney character magnets.
Here is a link to the pic of the ribbon key fobs I made. Couldn't get the pic to load properly, sorry. I guess I'll get the hang of this one day.

Is there a way to do a "no see" key fob?

Is there a way to do a "no see" key fob?

Assuming that is "new sew" this is instructions I posted for some else that are "no sew" for using lanyards as your ribbon. And using one inch key fob hardware.



I cut the lanyards into strips (12 inches works nice). I cut 7/8 inch satin ribbon for the back (you can use webbing also). I ironed7/8 inch Heat-n-Bond on back of the ribbon. Peel the paper off and iron ribbon onto the lanyard. I rub the part that is going to make the curve back and forth on edge of ironing board while it is still warm to help insure a smooth curve. Make a loop. I add a glue square or E6000 to secure ends. (I do this since clamp only has "teeth" on one side) Clamp the key fob hardware over the ends. Squeeze closed with pliers but protect the metal with an old towel or t-shirt.

Hope that helps.

Gosh...thanks! I had no idea what "no see" was! I even googled it!

Harbor Freight has a tool that is about $6.99 and won't harm the metal. Welding Pliers

I wanted something unique and homemade for our FE gifts so I made drawstring backpacks. And yes, I know you can get drawstring bags at the dollar store but I wanted something much higher quality. There are two different designs but I forgot to take a pic before giving them out. Each one also has a laminated name tag attached.

Very cute backpack, elmo2200!

Our DCL vinyl decal friend was in Disneyland!

She has returned and welcomes the notoriety.

I will be sending PMs with her contact info tonight.

Stay tuned!

Please add me to the list for the decal lady's contact info as well.

I've been watching this forum for a couple months now trying to come up with ideas for our first cruise next week. This is what we came up with ...

A 4 coasters for the adults and a Mickey style frame for the kids. We're hoping that these will be lasting mementos from the trip that people will enjoy.

Cruise is the March 3rd Disney Dream ... no peeking if you're in our FE group, please!

I love these, did you say (or would you share) how you made these.
