Fish Extenders?

[lesley.a.murray@talk]

We Loved deck 5!!! The only traffic outside your stateroom is from neighbors. I wish we could have gotten a stateroom there on our next trip.

Oh thanks for the reassurance. I was getting a bit worried ('cos I picked the deck and room 5018 was the only Cat 8 left)

I'll just make sure I've got a ziptie and I think I'll print "The Murray Family" on everything and see if that makes them less attractive to others...unless their surname is Murray of course.

I wonder if you could glue antennae balls on the ends of the dowel to make the mickeys.

I was wondering the same thing. I don't see why not. I have a stash of them that I picked up at the Disney Store for 50 cents each a while back. I couldn't pass them up at that price!

Smart thinking!

Would hate to see any other Diser's "lose" their fish extenders like I did...please try some kind of recommendation that secures it a bit better. It is truly a bummer to know your personalized item, was stolen by someone on your cruise! Not a fun feeling to walk out of your stateroom and realize someone came by and stole all your personalized door magnets and fish extender....for what?!

I found mine in the $1 department at Target! They had a lot of Disney items there so I loaded up for my July cruise!!

Here is my finished FE. Only about a year early!
Sorry the picture is so big. I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

Can I ask you where you found the adorable beach themed appliques?

IIRC, she said she embroidered them herself on her machine.

DisneyCruiser2008, I believe those are embroidered directly onto the pockets using an embroidery sewing machine, not appliques. Makes me wish for a new sewing machine, because they're amazing.


I've been following this thread to keep up with everyone's fun ideas.

I'm getting antsy to make ours -- maybe a few trial runs before our cruise?

Wow -- shows you what I know. Those are wonderful!

Aren't they amazing? I wish I had that kind of talent. I'm lucky if I can hem a pair a pants or sew on a missing button! But I keep telling myself I have other talents.......

I was talking about the animated message in a bottle you had in your post. lol

I thought I had wrote the dimentions down but cant seem to find them now. Thinking of giving it a try this weekend. I have the material just not sure how big it should be. I thought I remember no wider then 9in, but aprox how long do majority of you make it. How big per pocket?

THanks!

Nothing fancy, but here is my no sew FE. I see it is not as long as most. I still need to add ribbon or cord at the top to hang it by.

Hello! Here is how I made my Mickey Head hanger:

For the hanger I used a dowel rod that I cut the right length. I added 1 inch dowel end balls (I bought them at a craft store) that I cut slits into and put flat wood circles to make Mickey heads. Be sure your Dowel fits into the hole in the dowel end. This was a fun project, but be careful to secure your dowel ball when you are cutting them. I used my DH's vice and some of the non-slip cabinet liner to hold the ball. Then I used wood glue to secure the dowel balls and ribbon to hang the FE with.

I have read that foam circles can also be used to make the ears.

I really did try to resize this picture smaller? Sorry it is so big.

I love what you did on your pockets! The name tags are fantastic!

i was thinking of just making an indentation in the MM balls you can put on antenna (so many cute ones) & glueing them on ; anyone else try it yet?

I would love to try this, but don't know where to get these other than WDW. Do they sell them at the Disney Store in the mall? How much are they?
