DCL Fish Extenders, I need ideas

[pfishgirl]

Hi

DH and I are going on the Disney Magic in December and I want to make a Really Cool Christmasy fish extender

We are having a Secret Santa Exchange and I am so Not a Crafty person. I can't sew, knit, bead, etc

The only thing I can do is Scrapbook and Take pictures and neither will help me in this case very much

I need Ideas on where to start and how to begin. I was thinking about buying an apron and then adding some pockets but I don't think that will work too well. I also thought of getting one of theose plastic hangy shoe caddies. Not sure if that will really work either.

I sure wish I had a Crafty bone in my body somewhere

On the DCL ships next to your Cabin door are Metal Fish. They hold mail, letters, notes, etc etc...

Well some people make really cool extenders, you hang them on the fish and add Pockets with names on them to hold extra stuff..

I know there are thread around about them, but none have I found tells you how to start to make one.. Like the best materials and glues to use, since I can't sew a button..

Here's a link... There is a pretty pink one only a few posts down, then some more as you go through the posts.. I guess I could just copy what they did or change it a bit.. I just wasn't sure about materials to use..

Here are directions for a "locker pocket", which looks like about the right size. http://www.sewing.org/enthusiast/html/et_starslockerpocket.html
I'm sure you could customize it any way you want.

Thank You Sandy that is Awesome

I've never used a sewing machine and I don't own one either. But I have a hotglue gun so that may work. I don't think there will be anything too heavy in it. Maybe even some safety pins to hold it together.

Thanks Again

Well I thought it was a good idea, until I saw that you have to buy special pocket thingys. I did a search and it looks like you can only get them at http://www.lynnefarrisdesigns.com/

oops, maybe you can get them other places
