Fish Extenders?

[bevtoy]

I bought bottle caps off of Ebay and made them into zipper pulls and refrigerator magnets. Bought fingernail stickers for girls pencils and some M & M's to add to the bag.
the seller offered the magnet option but we did the zipper pulls ourselves.

The zipper pulls and magnets are just too cute! Love the Cocktails for Dummies idea. Would never have thought of that one! I want one of those books!!!!

i got the cocktails for dummies from one person, a mini cocktail shaker from another, and a mini bottle of baileys from another, can you tell most of our FE group was adults??!!

Here's our FE! First time making one. My teens helped start it, I finished assembling it. I used the NO SEW directions found in the DIS Faq section, but did end up sewing parts of it (the bottom of the pockets sewed onto the backing)

Wow! I am so impressed with the FE's and gifts posted on here. DH and I are going on a 3 night Wonder cruise in early December so I decided to go with a Christmas theme for our FE.

Love all the different designs, keep posting

These are my first attempts at making a FE. I am not a sewer hence the terrible stitching around the outside. They are all homemade and took quite a long time (cutting out the shapes took the longest) but in the end it was worth it.

The only thing left to do is put names above the pockets and put in the wooden rods

Wow - for not being a sewer, you did a fantastic job on this!!!! I'm very impressed.


I did finish mine, but I'm not sure if I'll have time to post a pic before we leave tomorrow. If not, then I'll post one of it hanging on our fish!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Aww, I think that's adorable! Great job!

 

[quiltymom]

Here's mine. I chose to use elastic at the top, and there are alphabet beads hanging on the sides of each pocket with our names. I wanted to make it generic just in case we needed it for something else.

Ill get a better pic of it on the ship. (I made it large so you could see it!)

WOW! there's lots of inspiration here!
We're cruising the Wonder beginning 3/14/10 - I'm so excited!
I've signed up for the DisMeet - and I'm really hoping that we end up having an exchange
I can't wait to make an extender!

That's awesome, QuiltyMom! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm glad to know it's "ok" to make your own... I really don't need to spend more money! I'll give it my best shot...

I LOVE your FE. Can you tell me where you got the letters? (mickey o's). Thanks!

Sorry, I did not get anything from my PM? Ok, I thought I could get the stockings but cant find them anywhere? I don't sew at all so I thought your idea would be perfect for just gluing everything. I will keep trying

In the Dis Faq's section, under FE's, there are instructions for a no sew method of making them. You use Heat and bond iron on heming strips instead to assemble it. I did mine that way and it worked out great!

Hi everyone, quick question on the FE gifts. We've never participated in this before, but will for the Dream Maiden voyage in Jan 2011.

Are the gifts anonymous, or do you tag them somehow so everyone knows who they are from?

I get the impression they are small gifts, looks like some are hand made, others are purchased. Are they given each day of the cruise, or just once from each family?

Are there specific things NOT to give?

Looking for ideas, since we have lots of time to plan, make and purchase.

Thanks for your help!
