Fish Extenders?

[arlenesp]

I bought all the materials at Joannes and did a bit of sewing on the pockets but I used Liquid Stitch to attach the Mickeys and the trim,and it was wonderful. Very strong .It held thru the 15 day cruise and it had been put to the test many days.

Here’s our take on a no-sew F/E. No one in our house is a tailor, but we do have a crafter and an engineer. This was made from three small canvas bags (from Michael’s) and a Disney themed bandana. We put grommets into the bags and hooked them together with chain from a light fixture. The bandana was then adhered with spray glue to a piece of craft foam, the images were then cut out and attached to the bags with white glue and then trimmed with white cotton twine. The nameplate was printed and attached in the same way. We took it with us on the Magic in July and it fit & worked perfectly.

Has anyone done an eBay search for a FE lately? I'm having a horrible time looking for them! Help!

Just type in fish extender on ebay and they come up but they are very expensive imo 30.00 I made mine for about 6 dollars and it looks great, if I do say so myself

thanks for all the great pictures! I had no idea what a fish extender was, now I know and can have my 12 year old design her own for our 4-25-10 cruise.

As castaway stated judt type in fish extender. There were approximately 14 fish extenders on ebay when I looked. Some were about $19 plus S/H.

So here it is... Our very first fish extender!!! Our family is cruising with Disney on the Wonder Sep. 20th - 24th ... Eric and I worked on it all day Saturday and today I finished by ironing the pictures. I'm glad this is over and now I can concentrate on door magnets!!!

LadyRob, I hope you are a believer in the saying that immitation is the fondest form of flattery because I thought your FE was so beautiful, that I just had to use it as inspiration for my own. i hope you don't mind. Here is our version...

WOW! That looks great!

It ALMOST makes me want to shelve the storebought one we have and start from scratch.

Of course I don't mind. I find loads of inspiration from the Dis and I think that's what we are all here for. You did an amazing job!!! Great work!

Just finished my FEs last night. I know they're not personalized yet but I'm not sure what I want to do

 

[Queenofthecastle]

Your FE is gorgeous! You are indeed VERY crafty!!!

 

[DLW8]

WOW - you guys are very creative! Me, I am using a stocking for our cruise in December....i'm just not that crafy, but may have to stop by Michael's to see if I can do something a bit more...

 

[KaM mom]

Great ideas. Keep the pictures coming.

Hi!

I am the least crafty person on the planet, but just saw this thread and my daughters would love this, so, and please bear with the newbie --how do I go about this for our cruise, we are on the Nov 1 Wonder? Is there a list I need to get on, and do I need to purchase gifts for the other FE folks?

Could someone possibly link me to a how-to page? I can use a glue gun, have sewed in the past (yep, that a-line skirt in 1978 home ec class) and if am given clear directions, I usually don't screw it up, soooo anyone want to take pity on me and offer some direction, please? I am without a doubt not worthy I wasn't able to look at all 60 pages, but just saw the one of MBRWR, yours is amazing.

Thanks very much in advance

Hi, first thing you need to do is go to the Cruise meet forum and subscribe to the one for your November cruise. This way, you can meet some of your fellow DISers who will be on the same cruise and see if they are participating in an FE. For a first-time cruiser, it can also add a lot of fun to the cruise to get to know some fellow DIS sailors before you ever board. Have a great trip!
