Go to ThingsRemembered.com and search for ribbon. You should get two pages returned. The ribbon is on page two. My custom ribbon has already shipped! That was fast.

I finished my FE tonight. It's not great and what I had envisioned, BUT it's done and will work.

Completely NO SEW.

I just got done making our FE gifts for our upcoming cruise. I love how they turned out and can't wait to hand them out. If you are on the 9-26-09 Magic sailing.... don't peek!!! LOL

I bought a Laminating machine at Wal-Mart for under $25 and LOVE it. The bookmarks and kids game card were so easy to make. It will get lots of use in our house for the kids school things. I may even make up some things for Christmas gifts with it.

About how long would you say to cut the ribbon for something like this? I am doing something similar to this, but not sure how long to cut the ribbons. Thanks!

Fabulous ideas everyone!

I am not a crafty person at all. I seriously cannot cut and paste or color in the lines and eBay’s prices for an FE are insane. Is it tacky to use a Disney tote bag? I am still considering EBay since my kids are dying to participate but I was just curious.

I say no, not tacky. I'm going to try to find a Disney Christmas stocking. (I suppose I should put that on my to-do list!)

I bought an FE for myself (only $30 on ebay) thought it was a good investment for all our Disney cruises. BUT my SIL didnt have one so I took a denim bag and ironed on a cute DIS'ers design that I used as a magnet too. It made a cute FE for them and was very cheap...like $3.

I too made keychains for part of my per cabin gift , along with door hangers(like come in/keep out--disney style), and made the girls braclets with their names and the boys neckalces with leather cording and their fav sports team!! Along with some odds and ends!

I love the homemade FE--I am not that talented...LOL Ok maybe I am and don't give myself credit..LOL

I think jsut participating allows you to use whatever you want for a FE! It's jsut awesome you want to participate! So go for it! Use anything! Spoken by someone who has yet to cruise.

TraciM, this was offered to me with Disney love so I "pay it forward" and offer to make one for you! I didn't think I'd be able to make mine but I did and it was a lot of fun and I did it all in 1 day!! PM me if you're interested! I have a few things coming up soon, but I could have it for you long before your cruise!

We just got back yesterday. Here's a picture of what I made for our FE gift. My family used it as an autograph book, but it could also be used as a scrapbook.

Unfortunately the photos have not come out well. I had lanyards made with the name of out cruise meet thread and the dates on as the main gift, but I also made those. All ladies and the girls 6 and over got a cell phone / bag charm spelling out the word Magic with Swarovsky crystals in the ship's colours as accents. For the boys, I had lampwork beads made and turned them into zipper pulls/ bag charms. The boys aged 6 to 9 got Mickeys and the older boys got skulls with Mickey ears.
